This year in England wo are going to have five ; Christmas - celebrations rolled into one. : Not since 1914 have there been such enthusiastic preparations for the holiday season. In spite of high prices and unemployment people are spending lavishly. The shops ha vo beautiful displays and . they are thronged with . buyers. . Everybody is bent on having a good time this. Christmas for it is the first " one sinco the war started that the

boys and girls, who served , in the force in Franco, have been able to spend' at-home. , . Since early in December cooks and housewives - have, been busy with Christmas puddings. No English fam'Uy. would think of cclobrating Christmas' without the proper pudding. It costs something to mako the Christ- . mas pudding too, this year, for it demandsan assortment of fruit and nuts, all of which c'ost Just about tour times 8.8 much as they did before the war. But this is ono occasion when expense is not considered. Tho family may be severely rationed after the holidays are over, but it will not stint Itself in the Christmas necessities. Here at the sea shore the hotels and lodging houses have been booked up full for the holidays. Many English people like to spend Christmas at the sea side resorts where there is always promise of crowds and amusement, A few years ago these places were In the path of the German air raiders and few of them escaped some depre-

dation. but this year the war and its

V attendant terrors will hfi forgotten, on

Christmas day, at least. Everybody Will Dance Dancing is one of the big features cf the holiday program , everywhere.

There is no abatement in the dancing

craze in England, as the advertisements for Christmas fcalla show. The big London hotels are preparing to cater to the taste of their patrons in this respect, and have arranged elaborate dinner dances. for Christmas Eve. One famous hotel ' isJ charging 10 a plate for that night. . -. The English Christmas dinner Is a test to the most capable? stomach. There is usually some kind of poultry nd a roast Joint and a great variety

cf vegetables, and of - course the t

Christmas pudding and a few other kinds, and then the wonderful assortment of tarts and pastry destined to fill any vacancies left ofter-the meal lias been disposed of. ; :-. Until this year it was Impossible lo get thefats needed for pastries, and the English family Is going to revel in all these delicacies it was deprived of during the war; Except for the sugar and butter shortages, -there will be no food shortage and meat especially will be plentiful and cheaper with the food control removed. Many "dads" are, home for Christmas for the first time since the war started, and they are seeing to it' that

nothing 13 neglected to make the 'kids: happy. A family qf youngsters with: a confiding faith in Santa Claus, is an expensive luxury, for toys are abnormally high in price. The doll without remarkable qualities costs $25 and mechanical toys are almost beyond reach. Sweets and fruits are expensive, too,' and so are Christmas tree?. But they are being "old in large quantities, just the same. It is a British Christmas, in more than one. All the toys and most of the articles offered for gifts, are for the first time, of British , workmanship. Wounded soldiers made'many of them, especially the wooden toys, which were sold at benefit, bazaars . German toys have been excluded,

and British toys are even Invading

German territory, a condition not pos tible before the war. The made-in

Kngland label has been conspicuous in nil the shops and English labor has

been very well patronized. Take A Week Off.

Holiday celebration in England is not limited to one day. It starts on

Monday and lasts all week. Boxing day, the day which follows Christmas, and on which all the postmen, dust

men and a great army of other work

men and public employes go about for

Christmas boxes, is just as important,

Most of the shops and offices are to close from Thursday until the follow

ing Monday and the leading London

newspapers suspend publication on

Christmas and Boxing day.

Popular sentiment is to make this

the first real after-war Christmas an old-fashioned English Christmas of the kind Dickens loved. It is a hotel's

The attention of tho members of the American Legion is called to the following letter written to Mr. William Howard Taft. in reply to an editorial written by him and published In many newspapers, Doc. 2, 1919. "My Dear Mr. Taft: "As National Commander of the American Legion I wish to thank you

"The American Legion has Just held Its first national convention in Minneapolis, representing nearly 5,000.000 men and women who wore tho uniform of the United States during the great war and have now returned to civilian activities. "You have accurately Interpreted the sentiment of the members of the

"Third: Protection fcr our country from foes within. Our stand for 100 per cent Americanism will be virile. As good soldiers who did not hesitate to hit hard under competent orders, so now as civilians again, with an even keener sense of the responsibilities of citizenship, we shall not hesitate. We realize, however, that now our orders originate in the constitution of the United States, as expressed through their duly constituted agencies of national, state and local government. It was our duty as soldiers to obey and support military authority in the maintenance of law find order, and In protection of the rights of every citizen. "Although the American Legion rep
