With Christmas just a turn of the

giving thought to the organization of

Old Custom Returns.
Ten years ago, outdoor Christmas
Eve caroling, especially in itinerant
groups thru the streets of town and
village, was almost unknown in this
country The beautiful old custom
that had once been universal in Eng
land had all but died.
The widespread adoption of the
community Christmas tree did much
to bring the carols to public attention
again. Yet the singing of the charm
ing old Yuletide songs for the public
benefit was all too infrequent and the
travelling bands of caroIers in their
picturesque red cambria capes, was
particularly regrettable.
1t would seem that this year there is
to be no outdoor caroling in Topeka.
So far as can be discovered among the
people interested in music in this city,
there are no preparations under way
FOR such procedure.
Last year some twenty of the bows
from the choir of Grace cathedral
sang about the streets and before the
houses of some of their friends. They
sang at the midnight services at the
cathedral, later at the city tuberculo-
