How f residents of Past Enjoyed
Christmas Holidays.
v
No Celebration by John Qiilncy Adams
' jSeoause He Regarded Religious
. Festival as a Foolish
Extravagance.
ACCORDING, to history the only
presided of the United States
who did not ce'ebrate Christmas
(because he regarded it as a foolish
extravagance) was John Qulucy Ad
ams, "the most economical man
known in public life.'.'
Mrs. John Adams, the wife of the
second president of the United States,
had a most discouraging time trying
to make merry in the White House
during the Christmas holidays. (She
was the first wife of a president to
celebrate Christmas in the executive
mansion in Washington, tor the presi
dent and Mrs. Washington were al
ways at Mount Vernon for the holi
days.) She bad no dominating sense
of economy, but it was the White
House itself that was shabby, and a
Christmas reception given to tho mem
bers of congress by the president
proved, from her point of view, to be
a ghastly failure.
President Jefferson was a widower
with four daughters, and during his
second administration Martha, the eld
est, was the head of her father's
Lousohold, and made Christmas the
happy and festive occasion it was de
signed to be from that time when the
star stood still above the manger in
Bethlehem.
There were trees, and decorations,
and all sorts of entertainments for the
children of the official families, as well
as gifts for the poor of the capital.
Although the Madlsons - did not
spend all of their Cbrlstmases In the
White House, on account of the little
historical interruption by the British,
when they occupied other quarters for
a time, 'the brilliant Dolly managed a
record for holiday hospitality and
merrymaking that has never been sur
passed. When Andrew Jackson came to the
White House he was bowed and bro
ken by the death of his wife and de
pressed by political animosities. He
bad neither heart nor the slightest in
clination for holiday celebrations, yet
he pulled himself together at Christ
mas time, and saw to It that the day
meant something happy to those In
the White House.
In the meantime the Monroe admin
.lstration was marked by nothing in
the way of holiday celebrations be
yond what was conventionally pre
scribed, and after Presldont Jackson 8
efforts at keeping the spirit ol Christ
mas in spite of his own personal sor
rows. President Harrison d!d not live
to see a Christmas in the White
House.
Mrs. Tyler lived to celebrate only
one Christmas in the White House,
After his setond marriage the Tyler
administration was noted for Its brll
Hant entertainments. Whether It was
Christmas or any other time of tho
year, hospitalities were dispensed In
the old Virginia style, and there was
no stint of merrymaking at the White
House.
The Polk administration reverted to
the grim and practical Idea of John
Qulncy Adams, Perhaps it was not
economy that changed tho Christmas
celebration at the White. House; it la
difficult to define the reason why Pres
Ident Polk did not make the holidays
a festive event in the executive man
slon; it may have been the tempera'
ment of the chief executive; perhaps
It was because Mrs. Polk did not be
lieve In the gay and festive way of
celebrating the holidays, as, according
to Intimate history, she did not.
President Zachary Taylor, brilliant
figure In military history, who had no
chance whatever In th social history
of the White House, because he died
In little more than a year after he
had taken his seat as president of
the United States, and spent only one
Christmas in tne vvnite riouse, oe
queathed his administration to tho
Flllmorea, people pitiably dlsttn
gulshed by sorrow and In no way
adapted to the social obligations of
the great national responsibility of
sustaining the political and social ob
ligations of the White House.
"Shortly after becoming president,"
someone writes of President Fillmore,
"his wife died, and a year later a
daughter, an only child, passed to the
great eternity."
May each Christmas, as it
comes, find us more and more
like him who, as at this time,
became a little child for our
sake, more simple-minded, more
humble, more holy, more affec
tionate, more resigned, more
happy, more full of God. J. H.

TWO TOTS IN A TOY SHOP
Little Denny Was Almost Beyond
Hope In the Eyes of His Older
Sister, Aged 8lx.
She was six If she was a day; she
had a little fat back In a little black
coat and her wisps of red hair
matched her red tamo'shantor. In
her Arm band she hell a struggling
boy about a year youngor, and they
were getting Into the elevator at a
big department storo and making' for
"toys."
Children are not allowed, unaccom
panied by guardians, In most large
shops, but such, was her air of re
sponsibility, of decorum, that It would
have been a bold floorwalker who
dared to question her.
Nor, evidently, was It bcr first visit.
The boy. still held in leash, ran In
front and made straight for the space
devoted to Santa Claus, his relnd;cr
and his sleigh, pljed with toys.
There was a background of fir and
cedar and a huge Christmas tree, but
the pair sat down buforo the fascinat
ing old fellow In his red robe, his
long white beard, holding his big
whip, and from his face the small boy
did not turn from worshiping in sol
emn adoration.
Across the room was a creche; also
a wonderful and br.autlful thing. Th
infant Jesus In the manger, the moth
er in her btye robes, St. Joseph, with
his staff, the three kings resplnndein.
The "children , had been perfectly,
still for fifteen minutes looking at
Santa Claus, when the little girl whis
pered to the boy. He squirmed, strug
gled, but she wan too much for him.
She dislodged him from his seat,
dragged him to the creche, and with
inotherly, Irish piety, pressed him on
his knees.
Reverently she described the holy
group, then would incite devotioti
from a more human motive.
"See the cow, Denny; you mind the
cow we used to milk last summer at
the farm when we went on the fresh
air? See the goat, Denny; you mind
the goat In our alley? It's his pitcher."
But Denny whined and pulled and
pulled to be back again to hia Idol.
The little girl looked up. Her slgb
was that given by every woman since
the beginning,, for every man for
whose soul she holds herself respon
sible. "
"Denny," she said, "Denny likes
Santa Claus better than he likes Cod."
A CHRISTMAS HYMN
No tramp of marching: armies,
No banners flaming; far;
A lump-within a stable
And In the sky a Star.
Their hymns of peace and sjladnest
To earth the anirels brought, .
Their Gloria In Excels! " .
To earth the angels taught;
I .
When In the lowly mnnirer
The Holy Mother Maid ,
In tender adoration
Her Bitbe of heaven laid.
Horn lowly In the darkness.
And none as poor as Ire,
The little children of the poor
HI very own shall be.
No rush of hostile armies then,
But just the huddling; sheep.
The nntrels singing of the Christ
And all the world asleep.
No flame of conquering; banners,
No legions sent afar;
A lamp within a stable
And In the iky a Star!
-Margaret K. gangster, In Collier'
Weekly.

Helen Keller was deaf, dumb and

a loving friend was she made aware
of the world of thought. Finally when
It was time to teach her what religion

told her of God. When ho had finished,
she thanked him and said:. "Hut some

"I thought I'd be economical this
year and make my Christmas pres

said Mrs. Harlem; "so 1 bought a

"How did you make out?" asked
Mrs. Bronx.
"The materials footed up to $43.58.
and I put In a month's hard sewing
and cutting." '
"How did that compare with last
year?",
"Last year 1 bought all 1 wanted for
ISO."

see the thing through tn "old navy"
fashion, and even King Neptune, when
he conrcs on board on "crossing the

the "splrtt of Christmas."
It matters not much whether the

plowing through the Pacific ocean,
the distance from home and -friends
makes It incumbent on all to do their
level best to muke at least a brave try

not only, .akin to, but actually neck

be done by anybody.

scheduled time, but many more men

festivities are gotten .under way.
There is a varied athletic program
that begins in the forenoon, and after
an hour or so off for dinner at mid
day, continues well along toward sun
set. Sailors are taught to be thorough.
So they go at their potato races and
ple-eatlng contests and tugs of war
and Jumping contests with the same
fervor that they show when trying for
a 13-Inch turret gun record or stamp

Is no lack of Interest. That can be de

they are a tired lot.

WHY YOU HANG STOCKINGS
Popular Christmas Custom Said to
Have Come Down to Us From
Old Italian Practice.
There Is a story from Italy which
some suppose to be the beginning ol
the present Idea of the ChrlBtmas
stocking. Years ago good old St.
Nicholas of Padua used to throw
knitted purses with money in them In
at the windows of the poor. These
knitted purses were not unlike a
stocking without a foot, and later It
became the custom of the people to
bang this knitted sack Just Inside the
Window that St. Nicholas mlht put
something In as he passed. When
those purses went out of use the
iiUjcklngs were substituted. In the
northern par, of Italy It was a little
too chilly to leave the windows open
and the stockings were bung by the
mantel place so that," they might be
tilled from the chimuoy.

MANNER OF GIVING PRESENTS
Simple Little Embellishments Such as
Ribbons, Seals and Holly Count
for Much.
At no time does tho manner of do
ing a thing count for so much as at
the time of Christmas giving; and
while In1 a few instances there are
thoso who overdo the outward embel
lishment of gifts, none of us now like
to offer the simplest little remem
brance unless wrapped in spotless pa
per, tied with gay ribbons and adorned
with bright seals expressing merry
greetings. '
And this Is as It should be for the
hollduy Beason gains a great deal of
cheerlness and xest from the multi
plicity of berlbboned white parcels
whisking, to and fro, and we do not re
gret the passing of the yellow paper
bundle of our grandmother's day.
P.ut the attractive appearance of tho
gift is not all that counts; we roust be
careful of the how aud when and
where of presenting It.
The time that custom more and
more sets apart for the exchanging of
gifts among friends is Christmas eve,
any time from dusk to midnight; but
Christmas day Itself is sacred to pre
senting gifts within the family circle.
Some families put all the gifts in
the library or living room, in separate
piles, and then, after a deliberate
breakfast, they all walk In and open
the packages In the presence of each
other.
Never give a gift tn person if you
can contrive to send It or put it where
it will be found awaiting the recipient
when he or she Is alone, for when re
ceived in this way tho gift makes its
strongest appeal to one's appreciation.
In giving money, even to near rela
tives, the utmost care should be taken
to give it in the most delicate way
possible; especially If you know the
money Is needed.
One of the cleverest ways is to take
a tiny Japanese umbrella, place the
money in a paper bag and, after roll
ing and tying the bag around the up
per part of the handle underneath,
closo tho umbrella over it and tie with
narrow ribbon.
Another good way Is to present an
attractive little booklet with a check
or a greenback for a bookmark, writ
ing on the flyleaf, "note page 14."
Turning to see what Is noted, the
fresh new paper money is seen and
tho recipient appreciates the manner
of its presentation no less than the
material benefit.
. Julklapp Delivery.
This is an expression used tn Den
mark and Sweden and denotes their
way of Bending gifts. Before Christ
mas all the gifts are wrapped so as to
disguise the contents. Each package
is lubeled for whom it is intended and
then at odd moments duri-- the day
those are thrown in at ti.. doors or
the windows.

Pays to Advertise.
Churches In New York realize tho
great advantages of advertising, and
besides using the columns of the dully
papers In their soul saving work and
electric signs and crosses on their edi
fices they send out solicitors, men and
women, to help swell their congrega
tions and enlarge their Sunday schools.
Hut the most daring church "ad" Is
that of the Rev. Dr. Fred. Winslow
Adams, pastor of St. Andrew's Metho
dist Episcopal church. He decided to
deliver a series of sermons on "Love
Stories From the Bible," for which he
had an artist draw a fetching poster
of two lovers when the moon drops
low. Thousands of copies In bluee,
browns and orange tints were distrib
uted, and In addition the pictures were
printed In the newspapers as "paid
matter." Sinews the minister began to
exploit the "Love Stories" bis congre
gations have more than doubled.
Which agnin demonstrates that It pays
to advertise.
Why the Price Was Low.
A shabhy man entered a small gen
eral store In a Scotch village and
asked the owner, a genuine Scot who
was known far and wide for bis
"pawky" humor, If he might have an
empty soap box.
"All right," said the shopkeeper, "ye
can have one; but the price Is two
pence." "Tuppence!"' ejaculated the appli
cant' "That's too much money alto
gether. ' I can get them for less than
that."
"Less than twopence? You're
dreaming, man," replied the other,
who disifketl nothing so much as hag
gling. "Where can ye get them for
less?"
"Down at your neighbor's. Tarn
son's," was tho rejoinder.
"Oh," replied the man behind the
counter, apparently much relieved;
"no doubt ye would get them for less
there, but I was never fool enough
to leave my boxes outside on the pave
