How Washington Celebrated Christmas

4 1t is interesting to look back upon Christmas
&c day at Mount Vernon, with the Father of his
Country host and his charming. wife as hostess.
Christmas at Mount Vernon in the peaceful days
which followed the Revolution was always exceed
ingly merry. The Virginians of those days, being
cavaliers, made the most Of the holiday, which the
grim Puritans Of New England practically ignored,
says the PHILADELPHIA Press.
Though generally serious Washington could
unbend considerably on such an occasion. Mount
Vernon was always crowded at this period. and the
celebration of Injurious character. The Christ
dinner was served at three o'clock in the
banquet hall" and probably no fewer than 80 per-
sons sat down to the repast
For this special occasion the hostess always got
out her handsome service of pure silver, most of
which had belonged to her when, as the widow

An oddity. nowadays it would be considered,
was the arrangement of the table. upon which all the
dishes be served. including the puddnes and
pies, were placed at once No wonder that in such
days the festive board was said to "groan beneath
the weight of viands
AS matter of course, at the Christmas dinner,
as we'll as all other occasions, the table waited
upon by slaves who did duty as house servants.

THE TOY-STREWN HOUSE

Give me the house where the toys are strewn,
Where the dolls are asleep in the chairs.
Where the building blocks and the toy balloons,
And tin soldiers guard the stairs:
Let me sleep in the house where the tiny cart
With its horses rule the floor,
And the rest comes into my weary heart,
For / am at home once more.
Give me the house with the toys about,
With the battered old train Of cars,
The box of paints and the books left out
And the ship with the broken spars;
Let me step in house at the close of day,
That is Uttered with children's toys,
And dwell once more in the haunts Of play
With the echoes of kygone days.
Give me the house where the toys seen,
The house where the children romp.
And III be happier than man has been
Meath the gilded dome of pomp:
Let me see the litter of brieht-eyed play
Strewn over the parlor floor,
And the joys l knew far-off day
Will gladden. my heart once more.
Whoever has lived in toy -strewn home,
Though feeble he be and gray,
Will yearn, no matter how far he roam,
For glorious disarray
OF the little home with it's Uttered floor
That was in the bygone days,
And his heart will throb as it throbbed before,
When he rests where baby plays.

was connected by a

I At the houses of the
great Virginia families
at that period 1t was
customary for tn e
slaves to wait on the
table in the ordinary
plantation garb. But at
Mount Vernon many
things were on a scale
of exceptional luxury.
and the negroes who
performed such service
were clad in Washing
toms own livery of red,
white and gold, which
was b an d so m e and
striking.
The necessity Of sup
per was removed by a
great prolongation of
the dinner, at which
each person was ex-
pected to eat all that
he or she possibly
could. In fact, it was
the duty of the host
ess gently to per-
suade her guests to
gorge themselves to re-
pletion, while the host
made it his business to
press wine and other
drinkables upon the
men to an extent which
in these times would be
considered most i'm
prudent.
