Every one has sat up all night and vital

There's no particular celebration. for
presents are given only TO children. and
the Older children are gathering them
selves together TO do themselves credit in
the evening, when there are dinners and
dances.
From Christmas Eve to New Year S
Day every one plays. There's no serious
business at all. The shops are all open,
but then that means nothing, for the
Paris shopkeeper never closes II he can
help II. He doesn't expect 10 do any
thing lie just stands behind the counter
TO greet his friends.
Even the Postoffice is quite dlsorganized.
You're in great luck If you get letters
from friends a mile or so away three
days after they are mailed. and every one
accepts this as part of the holiday con-
tingencies and no one grumbles.

So again we prepared for an all night
sitting. and We climbed up to the heights
of Montmartre and began by exploring

Heretofore when I've been to these

flames and snakes OF Hell and the skulls

adjuncts of Annihiation.
