Throughout Great Britain Christmas
Is the great week Of the year. 1t is
the one week when scattered families
are reunited, when tender memories
and old associations are revived, when
friend greets friend with CHEEKY ex-
pansiveness, in striking contrast with
the characteristic reserve of the Eng
fish nature. Business is practically
suspended in London for the five days
succeeding Christmas eve. There is
nothing left of the obsolete orgies
which so offended the Puritan element
In the times of Cromwell. It would
be an unimaginable English monarch
who would forbid any observation of
the 25th of December. The example is
set by the royal family Of the ideal
way In which to spend the happy,
merry Christmastide which the Eng
lish people cherish. 1t was the custom
Of King Edward VII and Queen Alex
andra to pass the holiday quietly at
Sandringham and there to give per-
sonal supervision to the distribution of
gifts.--Leslie's Weekly.
