SPIRIT IS DULLED.
Hard Times Spoil the Holidays in
Mexico City.

Mexico City, Dec. 23.-Feeble efforts
have been made to arrange holiday fes-
tivities in Mexico City this year. Gov
ernor Corona Of the federal district has
enlisted a few of the citys fashionable
women to assist him in holding a Ker-
mess In one OF the public parks but
even this show Of holiday spirit IL half
apologize. It being announced that the
proceeds are to go toward buying cloth
ing for the poor. Merchants in Mexico
annually dress their windows and
stores to attract the gift buying pub
lie. but unlike the stores in the United
States the rush IL not over until one
week later. Only a few Mexicans buy
presents and distribute them on Christ
mas, but all Of them want to give tok-
ems Of their love ana friendship on New
Years day.
This year the merchants have made
little effort to capture the holiday
money. Sentiment has dulled the buy
ing spirit and war has drained the
money bags. AS a people, the Mex
leans are Impoverished. Merchants who
had placed orders early in the year
with European toy houses. have gener-
ally Cancelled them because of the in
creased duty on all importation Such
shop windows as are decorated with
holiday goods this year contain only the
left over goods OF a year ago.
