Present are exchanged on New Years Eve, after which cerc- mony it is usual to see the old year out and the new year in, either at church, or at ball, or at a public or family supper, or even in the re lative quitetude of the family circle.
 Exhausted with the exercises of such strenuous New Year start, it is but natural that the second dav of the year should be kept as a pub lie holiday likewise. Generally speak ing, the second of January in Bel guim corresponds approximately to. Boxing Day in England Should the day happen to fall on Monday, no Belgian workman would think of do- ing any work, however urgent, drink ing being the first consideration on the first Monday of the year. It is the one day of all the 365 that drunk enness IS anyway noticeable in this country. Belgians leave church and make bee-hne for the nearest saloon.

NOVEL HOLIDAY STUNTS
 FOR BELClUM'S CHILDREN
By. R. H. SHEFFIELD

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Brussels, (By MaiD .--Belguim children get the time of their lives in the last month of the year. First and foremost, there is the feast of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of childhood, on December 6, when from mora to night, the young folks re- ceive gifts from everybody they meet. The day corresponds to the Christmas stocking of the Anglo-Saxon child, although the Belgian juvenile gets also a second edition of presents on Christmas day as well.
 In the rural districts, in houses in- fested with mice, the children on the feast of Saint Nicaise, December 14, write that saints name over the front door, the result being, according to the tradition, that the saint will clear the house of mice 'ere the close of the year.
 The shortest day, Decent 21, Is dedicated to Saint Thomas, and con- fers upon the offspring the right, if they can find the opportunity, to lock up their parents in the cellars or else where, liberating them only on solemn promise of a ransom, which may take the form of remission of punish ment, apresent, an outing, a holi- day, toy, or even a new suit. This custom is very deep-seated, and is in full operation, even in the big cities
 On December 28, which is Inno. cents Day, the children have the pri. vilege of wearing their parents clothes, and adding thereto parentia authority. The young people be come the real bosses, practically talk ing the place of father and mother giving orders, and acting general, as master and mistresses of all tn, domestic ceremonies.
 Christmas in Belguim is more of : religious than general festival True, business is suspended to larg, extent but retail establishments re main open, places of amusement ar, In full blast, and the only famil, foregatherings are those that talk | place at church.
