CHRISTMAS IN MANILA.

CHRISTMAS for the majority of the
225.0O0 inhabitants Of Manila
that is. the Ftlipinos-begins on Christ
mas eve. There are no stockings hung.
however, for stockings are not popular,
even with the most aristocratic senori-
tas, who usually go bare ankled. Mid
night mass is the occasion which
brings thousands to the churches.
These fine edifces are thrown open
and blaze with myriads of candles and
electric lights.
Manila at midnight on Christmas
eve is probably gayer than at any 9th
er time Of the year. The streets are
thronged with carriages and people Ia
their best attire Many Americans
turn out on Christmas eve also to see
the displays and the people and make
church to church inspection tours in
parties. Fine trained choirs and string
ed orchestras render excellent music.
The weather during the holiday sea-
son is just cool enough to dispel the
chronic laziness which pervades Ma
Mia during most of the year and put
a little spice into the blood. At noon
the thermometer will probably not go
over 81 or So degrees. At night, how
ever, a blanket on the bed is not Sov
much.

The Seven Sets Of presents

A LII the worlds a Christmas tree,
"A And all the men and women merely
children.
They have their presents and remem-
brances,
And one man in his time gets many gif.-,
His lot being seven series. At first the
infant.
With his feeding spoons and ratties;
Then the trumpet and tin soldiers, skates
and sleigh
And fireman's helmet and then the lover,
Signing like furnace with a gaudy neck
tie
Knit by his iady's fingers. Then hubby,
showered by his friends with socks and
gloves
And pipes that will not draw. ink wells of
brass
And fountain pens that leak. or else some
painted
China that his wife can use as well. And
then
The middle aged of fair round belly-s
little cap
To hide his shining pate. The sixth set
sinks
Into the carpet slipper game or bad ci-
CARS
A silver cutter. since his teeth are bad
Last gift of all that ends this strange
Eventful history is failing sight
Then they bring a magnifying glass

NAVY

I t home ports or at sea extra good
"a rattons during the Christmas hol-
~ days are now a special feature
on the United States warships.
The supplies now served are In marked
contrast with those obtainable ON the
vessels of the old navy far from home.
Whenever possible the ships are or
dered to home ports for Christmas.
Shortly after arrival the men are put
to work. Inside and out-in cabins, In
wardroom and about the desk-there is
swarm of seamen at work. Some
Will be painting, and others will be
polishing metal work. ratings, the
monster guns and brass instruments on
the bridge.
Shortly before Christmas all the work
Will have been completed. The ships
will be spick and span, and the seamen
will begin to prepare for land. Those
who are to go to their homes In the
south. middle west. New England and
elsewhere probably will leave in time
to reach home ON Christmas. Others
will save expenses by remaining aboard
ship. Hundreds of the good conduct
Tough, and when these return others
will go away.
Some of the men on furlough will not
go home at all. This may be because
their money will be too low to warrant
the expense Of a long journey or it
may be that they will hear the call of
the big cities. At any rate they will
arrange it nicely. They will spend the
days ashore and regard their ships as
hotels, whittier they may repair at
night.
They need not bother about the time
of leaving or of reporting, and they
may sleep long after the bosun's whis-
tie has shrilled on the gun deck.
Aside from the big dinner on Christ
mas, there probably will be no set
functions, no minstrel shows, boxing
contests or theatricals. The trouble
with any such programs will be the
absence on furlough of the indispen-
sable end man or the popular tenor.
The night before Christmas the popu-
lar streets will be filed with sailors In
their wide trousers and their high col
Jared pea jackets.
When they get enough Of feasting or
acting or singing inside the steel COW
cred hull there is the open sea on
which they row or sail for prizes, some
times competing among themselves,
sometimes racing against the men of
another vessel from home or against
the crew Of vessel from another coun-
try. Added to all these possibilities of
diversion there is often the trip ashore,

A Christmas Thought
By LUCY LARCOn.


III, Christmas is coming again,
you say,
~ And you long for the things
it is bringing,
But the costliest gift may not glad
den the day
Nor help on the merry bells ring
ing.
Some getting is losing, you under
stand;
Some boarding is far from saving.
What you hold in your hand may
clip from your hand;
There is something better than
having.
We are richer for what we give,
And only by giving we live.
Your last years presents are scat
tered and gone,
You have almost forgot who gave
them,
But the loving thoughts you bestow
As long as you choose to have
them
Love, love is your riches. though
ever so poor;
No money can buy that treasure,
Yours always, from robber and rust
secure,
Your own without stint or meas
ure.
1t is only love that we can give;
1t is only by loving,we live
For who is it smiles through the
Christmas morn
The light of the wide creationP
A dear little Child in a stable born
Whose love is the worlds saliva
ton.
He was poor on earth, but he gave
us all
That can make our life worth hv-
ing,
And happy the Christmas day we
call
That is spent for his sake in giving.
He shows us the way to live;
Like him, let us love and give.
Wsshington's City Christmas.
peace on Earth, Good VIII to Men"
This sentence, blazing from q bril-
liantly lighted electric placard raised
almost to the dome of the capitol, re-
Elected the predominant sentiment Of
thousands who assembled at the capitol
plaza to celebrate Washington's "com-
muntty Christmas" A giant Norway
spruce, Illuminated with glimmering
red, white and blue electric bulbs; the
Marine band, a huge electric star of
the east and a chorus of 1000 singers,
with the capitol itself outlined as the
background against the dark curtain
Of the sky, made a scene of impressive
beauty. Tableaux representing the
story of the Nativity were presented
In the tmprovised amphitheater. In
the audience were many men and wom-
en- well known throughout the country,
Including high government officials.

Pay Up Day In China.

At the Chinese New Year the houses
and other buildings are decked with
flowers, and the streets are thronged
with people, who come out to buy pro-
visions. new clothes and gifts. One
good New Year custom in China is
that of settling up all debts before the
old year has died out. A Chinaman
who allows the New Year to dawn be-
fore he has settled with his creditors
feels himself disgraced.
Christmas BeIls From Hill to Hill.
The time draws near the birth OF Christ:
The moon is hid: the night is still:
The Christmas bells from hill to hill
Answer each other In o., mist.

Distributing Gifts on q Battlsship.

port Offering inducement for Christ
mas or New Years revels.
II one has a son, brother or a friend
among the men serving on the ships OF
the American feet In the far east to
whom one proposes sending Christmas
gifts, the following, taken from little
monthly published on one of the
American battleships at Yokohama, is
timely:
SHOULD you wish to send him wear
ing apparel, a pair of pink carriers
would not be out Of order, as these he
wears, but the pay department has
overlooked them In the small stores
Towels and handkerchiefs are accept
able, and jackknife is a good thing.
The bell strikes every half hour aboard
ship, but a watch might save his being
late for the liberty boat. If you send
him a good fountain pen he may re-
member you more frequently with let
tiers, and If he smokes send him
pipe, but cut out hand painted neck
ties, cravat pins, slipper cases, collar
boxes and embroidered pillowslips.
Fancy socks will surely catch the
eagle eye of his division officer, and
then he win be up against 'nonreg.'
or course he would appreciate any
thing you send, yet many things get
spoiled in the bottom of his bag while
waiting till his time is out" - New
