; After breakfast we would fiy
all over the house, shouting
merry Christmasf' at the top OF
our lungs. Next we FASTENED
downstairs, two steps at a time,
TO view with explanations or de-
light the Christmas tree, which
was laden with scintillating deco
rations and wired from top TO
bottom by the house electrician
with colored bulbs.
Para gave each nasmber OF
the household employees an amount
of money in proportion to the
length Of time each had been
in our service. These sums
were in gold pieces, each in an
envelope bearing the name Of
the recipient. The envelopes
were handed to me to distribute
along with my own gifts to
the servants. This task took
up what was left Of the morn.
Ing.
At half past twelve we were
dressed for the Christmas lunch,
which was one Of the great
events Of the day, About forty
relatives and guests were seat
ed at the long table in the cen.
ter Of which was an enormous
Jack Horner pie with q ribbon
leading to each persons plate.
At the end Of the meal each
person pulled the ribbon and
out Of the pie popped . present.
Mama supervised the purchase Of
these presents, and with, her
never-failing sense Of humor,
gave something appropriate to
all Of us.
Nuts and raisins and candy
adorned the table. This was
the one day in the year that
we children were permitted to
eat anything and as much as
we pleased. As the piece de
resistance we always had a large
plum pudding aflame with lighted
brandy.
on Christmas Day our custom
airy after-luncheon nap was omit

ents to play until o'clock when
we had an event known as "The

were usually about fifteen of the
youngsters who spent two hours

they had gone we had a very
light supper and went to bed,
weary but happy. Our good
night remark annually was:
This is the best Christmas we
ever had"
The Christmas tree was left
standing until after New Year,
and order was not fully restored
in the house until long after that

formal opening of the national auto
mobile show in the 25Sth Field Artil-
lery Armory in Bronx, the largest
drill hall in the country. A 75-foot

hall, equipped with $50 floor lights
and other lights from silver kiosks.
made the place as light as day. A
silver canopy covered the armory's
steel beams.
A million dollars worth of cars.
ranging in price from less than $500
to $4,000. were on exhibition. There
were 5x0 cars on the floor Fifty
seven manufacturers had exhibits,
while there were 345 special displays
and accessory exhibits. Incoming
trains brought hundreds of persons
from various sections of the coun-
try, and some of the well known
trains from the West came in extra
sections.
Lack Startling Changes.
There were no startling changes
noticed in the 1925 models, and lead
ing manufacturers predicted that the
cars of the type generally prevalent
in the more recent years had come
to stay. 1t was noticed that more
cars were equipped with four-wheel
brakes than ever before. A continued
tendency toward balloon and semi
balloon tires also was noticed.
The general luxurious types of cars
on display caused many veteran en-
thusiasts to remark the tremendous
advance of the industry in 25 years,
from the time when the cars were
crude affairs and a novelty. Latest
statistics show a national registra-
tion of 100000 cars, or about one
to every six persons.
