THE 1900 CHRISTMAS
FIRST YULETIDE DINNER SERVED
IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Haunch of Venison Graced the Table
Presided Over by the Wife of
John Adams.

~ HE first dinner at Christmas
W given In the White House was
that which took place in the year
1900, when John Adams was Presi-
dent and thrifty Abigail, his wife, sat
Mt the head of the table as hostess. 1t
was not comfortable meal, although
a splendid haunch of venison, the
gift Of Mrs. Washington, graced the
board, and the country people of what
Mrs. Adams called 1.-The City in the
Wilderness" had generously contrib
uted gifts Of all sorts to make the
feast as toothsome as one could we'll
wish.
The reception after dinner took place
library, and was at that time barely
habitable, though furnished, as Mrs
Adams wrote, In warm crimson" The
view from the windows on that first
Christmas day would have disclosed
what John Cotton Smith describes as
"a deep mOrass, covered with alder
bushes The sidewalks were laid
with chips from the stones with which
the capitol was built. A wooden
bridge spanned Black Tiber Creek, and
Tow houses, also built of wood were
the residences of the congressman.
The only brick dwellings were those
that stood in Pennsylvania avenue, be
tween Twenty-frst and Twenty-second
streets, six in number and built with
money derived from the sale of lottery
tickets. These were the surroundings
Of the first Christmas day of the Chief
Executive Of the young nation "whose
policy in government has been more
Christ-like than any other nation on
lhe face Of the earth which keeps the
holiday"

THE E-ROCKING
FORM OF WORSHIP AT CHRIST.
MAS IN GERMANY.
Resulted In the Church Later Gaining
Much Stronger Hold on the
People.

~ THROUGHOUT Germany, and also
w Italy and France there has been
for some time a widespread use
of the "crib." 1t is now universally
diffused In the Roman church. Cribs
| are the delight of children who through
the season Of Christmas and Epiph-
| any wander into the churches at
all times of the day to gaze wide eyed
on the lifelike scene and offer a
prayer to their Little Brother" as
| they call the Christ child. The use
Of the crib" however, is by no means
confined to churches. 1t is common
in many homes both Catholic and
Protestant.
There grew up in Germany, about
the Fourteenth century, the ex-
tremely popular Christmas custom Of
cradle-rocking, a response to the peo-
| pies need of lifelike and homely
presentation of Christianity. The crib
| became a cradle that could be rocked
and the worshipers were thus able to
express in physical action their devo-
ton to the newborn babe. The cradle
rocking seems to have been done at
first by the priests, who impersonated
the Virgin and st. Joseph and sang a
| duet The people and the choir took
part In the singing. In time dancing
which was a natural accompaniment
to festive song to the early Germans
became common around the cradle.
Eventually the people were allowed to
rock the cradle with their own hands
1t was by appeals like this to the
homely instincts Of the people that the
church was able to gain a real hold
over them, so that during the Fif-
teenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth
centuries Christianity became a genu-
inely popular religion in Germany. DR..
Andred Tile, q well-known Christmas
historian, In an article on Christmas In
Germany, makes a statement that Is
most interesting.
"In the dancing and jubilation
around the cradle" he writes, "the
religion Of the cross, however much
1t might in its inmost character be OPP
posed to the nature Of the German
people -. ). was felt no longer as
something alien. 1t had become nat
uralized but had lost in the process
its very core. The preparation for a
life after death which was Its Alpha
and Omega, had passed into the back
ground. 1t was not Joy at the prom
