'TELEGRAPHEsE' BEST TO USE
correspondent Finds English Lam
guage to Be the Tersest in
Europe.

Which language makes the best
telegraphese? At so much a word one
might hasten to say German, because
OF its purely typographical device OF
sticking number of words together
TO look like one compound word. We
really do exactly the same thing in
English. only we print the elements of

according to their reports. Oftentimes
small trees are sent to the homes,
with glass balls, trimmings and candy
toys, and the donors, with the aid of
their chaAHeurs and the parents of
the childrsn, fix the tree while the lit
tie tots ara asleep.
Though sittle known, Santa Claus
work in the slums of the big cities
Is carried ON along systematic lines
to overcome any overlapping of the
multitude OF good intentions. In days
gone by, charitably inclined women
would leave a large basket of pro-
visions in house in ignorance of
another basket hidden in the closet.
And it was not unusual for two or
three workers to meet in the same
kitchen at the one time, each bur-
dened with good things for the one
family.
This is an error of the past; for
now the Christmas giving has been
systematized. Settlement workers of
tives of the wealthy private givers
compile list of those they will as
sist, and all go over their lists care
fully together.
Although the Christmas giving is
all cut and dried a few days before
the time, Santa Claus secret is not
given away. Half of the pleasure
would be gone if the families knew
that the visitors were coming with
food and toys in abundance It is
true that those who are visited and
qu1zzed by the private workers have
a shreWd suspicion, after they have
told their tale of woe and received
the sympathy of the visitor, that
something substantial is to follow.
The regular settlement workers know
their ground pretty we'll; they know
which families have had a hard ROAD
to travel and are putting up a good
battle against the tide of misfortune
The settlement workers have little
investigating to do before the holt
days; their entrance into a home or
tenement is always greeted with sur
prise, for they generally make It a
point to go where they are least ex-
pected.
THE poor are always with us" is
doubly true at Christmas time Fam
lilies who can barely exist, who do
not know where the next days bread
is coming from, can certainly not af-
ford any extras for the holiday sea-
son. They consider themselves for
tunate if they have a loaf or two of
bread and a small piece of meat for
the Christmas dinner and coal for the
kitchen fire.
No one appreciates this seamy side
of the bright Christmas story more
than the charity worker. She knows
that tribulations exist at Christmas
time as during any other part of the
year. Years of experience have shown
her how to use tact and good judg-
ment on her travels and where she
cannot leave good cheer, she can
at least make the sorrows and
troubles easier to bear. The can
gel of the Settlement" knows.
more than any one else, that there
are many cases when the word
Merry Christmas" would sound like
mocknry; where the hand of death.
for instance, has been heavily felt
when It takes away the chief provid-
er of large family.
She knows, also, that the Christmas
spirit as cherished by the poor as we'll
as the wealthy. While they cannot
spend the day in feasting and merry
making, they can at least forget old
