Speiaght Makes Human
Being of "Old Scrooge'

The largest audience that has yet
greeted Frank Speaight babe him fare
well for the season at the Belasco Thea
ter yesterday afternoon, and left him
carrying with them the impression that
old Scrooge of Dickens "a Christmas
Carol was not such a bad chap after
all. The Christmas Carol was select
ed by Mr.. Speaight for the final OF his
recitals not only because the date fell
within Christmas week, but because he
wanted to impress upon Dickens enthu-
siasts that the character of Scrooge has
been much maligned, and that Dickens
intended il should show as much good
ness as it did badness.
The beautiful Christmas talo was d.
vided into four episodes or chapters. The
first dealt with the appearance of Mar
ley's ghost The second was the ap-
partition of the spirit of Christmas that
had been. The third was Christmas that
was, and the fourth was Christmas that
might be, with a fairly good promise
that It would not be. The presentation
getter in the first episode was not with
out its touch of sympathy, but in the
succeeding divisions of the story MI.
SpeaiSht developed the human quahueS
that had been dormant in ScrooSe ard
awakened a deep feeling for the old man
that q casual reading of the story viii
not beget- Being q master Of subtle
character changes the lecturer brought
about the Transformation Of his central
character in a perfectly natural way,
and sent his audience away with the be-
lief that Scrooge was after all very
benevolent, kind old gentleman who had
never really been given a real under
standing of the situation of the people
living about him.

|. With the volume Of Christmas BUSH
ness far ahead OF all expectations,
Washington merchants will close their
stores tomorrow night after one OF tsss
most successful holiday seasons ON
record
While there has been a generous re-
spouse to the shop early campaign,
IL is certain that many persons have

a lack Of the European novelties so
popular for Christmas gifts, merchants
reported that they found no difficulty
in getting equally as good novelties from
American manufacturers, who had not
entered this field extensively until after.
the war made il plain that such articles
would not come to this country except
in limited numbers.
The Washington postoffice, as well as
every other postoffice in the United
States, is experiencing the busiest holi-
day season on record This is due TO
the great volume of parcel post business,
which was formerly handled by the ex-
press companies. For the last three
nights, long rows OF persons have been
lined up at the windows of the various
branch postoffices throughout the city
waiting their turn to ship packages OF
Christmas gifts.
The express companies report that the
number of packages, both incomins, and
outgoing. is considerably above expecta-
lions. Officers Of the various business
associations of the city say that the large
number Of Christmas packages being
sent Out of the city is a good criterion
OF the big holiday business done By
Washington merchants.

Crackers to Parties

Candy promotes the decay OF
teeth, it interferes seriously with d.
gestion, and it makes children want
more. They are never satisfied.
Candy should be taken away from all
children It will be the greatest
blessing in the world when candles
are abolished
Nuts and fresh fruit. DR.. Wiley
said, are fine for children, and
whenever they want something on
Christmas they should be given these
instead of candy.
Candy is good for football players
or anybody else who exercises a
great deal, but not for children. NY
