Mrs. Clara D. Neligh's Report
OUTINGS an Elaborate
Program.
ALL NATIONS PICTURED
Every Phase Of Christmas Observance
the World Over Would Be Shown,
= with Many Dances.

Every phase of the. Christmas celebra-
ton in every country Of the globe viii
be visualized in Washington at the ~om-
munity Christmas celebration this year,
according to the plan evolved by Mrs.
clara d. Neigh. of Neighborhood House,
chairman of the committee on folk
dances.
Mrs. Neligh's report is a description OF
4 program of dances and tableaux that
would present the Christmas conceptions
If the different nations and the relation
1T the Christmas idea to the home and
-he church. The program would consume
about three-quarters Of an hour.
While this plan is elaborate in its de-
Eails. it would not require a great deal OF
Inoney to produce. Mrs. Neigh made a
report Of her plan to Cuno II. Rudolph.
chairman OF the executive committee, last
night and he expressed his approval Of
IL, but before IL is adopted IL will have
TO be laid before the chairmen OF a couple
of the other subcommittee so that It
may be assured it does not conflict with
any preparations they may have made.
This will be done today and then the
executive committee will take action.
The general plan of Mrs. Neigh is in
three grand divisions. the first dealing
with the relation of the Christmas
relations to the different countries, and
the third, to the home.
The program would consist very largely
of tableaux and much of the first part Is
planned to be in connection with the
musical program. That is. the religious
tableaux would be enacted while the
chorus Of loo or more voices was sing
ing the hymns, and would in a sense be
illustrative of the hymns. Four tabIeaEIx
are planned In this division.
In the second part Christmas customs
.ui all the nations, as nearly as possible,
III be shown. In the third division will
be the tableauX depicting the Christmas
idea in the home, as ii affects babyhood,
childhood, middle and old age.
