LONDON. December 23.-England's
Christmas will be ideal this year. for
it falls on Monday. thus giving nearly
every one three successive holidays.
The day after Christmas-Boxins
day-is observed as a holiday as strictly
as Christmas itself. The day gets its
name from the custom whereby land
owners were expected to hand out
boxes Of Christmas gifts to their ten
ants, retainers and servants. Post
men and milkmen, as well as news
paper carriers, canvassed their routes
|religiously for annual tips. while even
the patrolmen on the beat seldom re-
fused a largesse. The postmen now
have a union, which this year opposes
tips.
For many of the city workers in the
factories. shops and offices there will
really be four days OF rest, because
a large proportion of these establish
ments closed before lunch today and
will not reopen until Wednesday aft
day and Tuesday.
Tradesmen report that the Yuletide

The Christmas spirit has also been
reflected in the large number of Lon
doners who have left for the country
and the continent. and the railway
companies have carried more passen-
gers than in several years. Almost
as astonishing has been the influx of
country folk, who always take the
Christmas season as the occasion for
seeing the sights of the city. These
visitors. dressed in their best. pay
their respects to all the hotels. res

ROME, December 23.-Dom Loren
20 Perosi. a Roman priest. who is
considered by competent critics the
greatest living composer of church
music and who has composed numer-
GUS works for orchestra and voice,
has been declared irresponsible by
the courts in Rome. and his family
requests the appointment of a guar
dian for him. Persons here declare
that he has lost the mental faculties
necessary to protect him and his
property against destruction.
One of the symptoms of his alleged
mental unsoundness is the fact that
he now says his music is old fashion
ed and worthless. During the last
five years Perosi's thoughts have been
concentrated more and more on re-
ligious problems. From Catholicism
he passed to the advocacy Of Plato's
doctrines and then to the study of
Calvinism. He spends most Of his
time in libraries studying the works
of Calvin. and has become a member
of the Waldensian church.
This change in the greatest COM
poser Of sacred music, who has lived
in the shadow of the Vatican, has
caused much gossip. Church and
legal authorities declare that there
is no doubt Of the maestro's lack of
mental control. They say he has
forgotten the year of his birth and
has manifested religious exaggera-
tions Of a pathological nature. Often.
however. Perosi shows no signs OF
erratic tendencies. When I saw him
last at the coronation Of the new
Pope. while he was directing his
latest compositions. he spoke with
perfect lucidity On the other hand.
it is claimed that the exaggerations
credited to him are common to re-
ligious zealots.
ii is certain that If Perosi's mem
tai faculties are gone the world has
lost one of its greatest composers
and exponents Of sacred harmony.

for the cruise on condition that the
