Like the tired business man who leaps through his almanac, and is disappointed, so are we when we find that there is onlj» one half holiday for us this year; that is on Christmas, which comes on Saturday, the busiest day of the week.

All we have in the United States are enjoyed as a day to rest in as well as celebrate. This year we will have to do that on Sunday. This year js an exceptional one in that respect. There are state and other holidays which come on other days, and Thanksgiving day which comes as usual on Thursday.
