(HY Associated Preas.l

PARIS, Dec. 23.-The Celebration of
Christmas along the lighting front in
France is regarded as Of more impor-
lance than that OF the people at home.
Families everywhere are denying them
selves to send great quantities Of COM
forts. delicacies and useful gifts to the
men at the front.
In addition to this abnegation, the new
spirit OF economy in France is causing
much reserve In buying. The growing
weight Of the war has limited sharply
anything In the nature of indulgence In
festivities. The shops have unusually
few patrons, and there will be no relax
alton of the early closing hours Of res
taurants, none of the customary mid
night suppers, no midnight masses and
no wath night meetings, the church au-
thorities having decided to effect saw
ing in lighting and heating.
The provincial cities are following
the example of Paris. The government
is deferring until the day after Christ
mas the compulsory restrictions in re-
gard to private heating and lighting.
gan that children are feeling it's conse-
Quences, in the way of restriction or
modification of Christmas distribution
in line with the new regime of econom-
les. The number of toys on sale is
much reduced and the trade in them is
diminished.
Dreary weather conditions are forecast
for Christmas.
