LONDON, Dec. 26.-It may be
nothing more than the day after
Christmas in America but in Eng
land it's boxing day-and quiet. The
proverbial Sunday afternoon In
Philadelphia is like New Year eve
in Times Square by comparison.
From the Northern border. where
the Scots fondle jugs of their ma :
tional beverage in anticipation OF
New Year Day. to the southern
coast. where whole families are
snugged up in resort hotels, the
only sounds to be heard are the
gentle snore and the polite burp.
Like Christmas itself, boxing day
is a national holiday. 1t exists in
order that people can get over
Christmas before going back to
work. The people take full advan-
tage of it.
Everything is closed, including the
ewes of taxi drivers. You can't buy
bread, milk or, unless you find an
untraditional publican, beer. Trains
and buses creep along resentfully If
they run at all. Newspapers don't
publish. Dogs don't bark.
Boxing day gets its name, accord
ing to most authorities, from the
old custom of leaving boxes OF
Christmas goodies for the mailman,
the milkman and others who bring

North of the border the Scots, who
look down their cold-reddened noses
at the whole business of Christmas,
ignore boxing day as well. Their
holiday is the New Year. The
