BERLIN, Dec. "a (PP)-Shops

Father Christmas visit to the chill
dren.
In Germany Santa Claus prefers
to arrive on Christmas Eve rather
than wait for morning. This eve
ming theatres and restaurants, for
the most part, are closed and troll
leys and buses almost empty.
Every true Berliner plans to stay
at home to help decorate the tree
and to share the children'S delight
when they open their presents.
1t is estimated that nearly $780,
600 Christmas trees have found
purchasers In Berlin alone. Dur
ing the past weeks every open
square has had its quota Of little
booths where evergreens might be
bought. In the poorer sections OF
the city in the center and the east
end, Christmas trees have been
supplemented by the traditional
Christmas Markets. Here the
poorer folk bring little dolls and
home made toys and decorations
to sell. Formerly this custom was
feature in all sections of the
city, but of late years the growth
of department stores has relegated
the informal markets to the less
well-to-do districts.

Tomorrow and Thursday are
legal holidays in Germany. Many
people are planning to take advan-

out into the country in search OF

or whose tastes do not run toward
skating and skiing will spend as
much time as they can round the
