Not as Much Joy in the Yuletide N<
Season at the National Capital
as Usual.
Washington, Dec. 24.?A great
many elaborate entertainments have da
been planned for the Christmas nu
holidays by leaders of tho various a
official and social sets, but there is an
not as much joy in the yuletide sea- ce
son as usual. Even the rich on
are feeling tho preBBure of ca
the high cost of living and he
many wealthy women have been T1
compelled to curtail their plans to Ri
some extent. The demands for help- is
Ing the poor and needy are greater TV
than ever. wj
Employes on Capitol hill lam?~*
that the distribution of gifts In thl ^
section is smaller than they ban
known In years. Many vlsitora tc
the white house have been in the *
habit of giving liberally to employes,
but owing to the indisposition and *
holiday plans of Presdent Wilson
both business and social calls have *
been comparatively few during the
past fortnight. White house em
ployes received remembrances from
the president's family, however. *
For the past week presents have
been pouring into the executive
mansion for Mr. Wilson and the
members of his family. There are so
many relatives who remember the
president that their gifts alone
would make a creditable exhibition
if displayed to the public.

CHRISTMAS ABROAD.
London, Dec. 2 4.?The English A
Christmas will not vary much from
the traditional celebration. King
George and Queen Mary, with other
members of the royal family, will h
attend services in the royal chapel.
after which there will be a Christmas
party for members of the iamlly
and friends. Dowagr Qpeen Alexan- w
dra always takes a delight in these N
affairs and will have a tree of her
own for the benefit of her grand- n
children and her personal friends. ct
Members of the American and <
most of the foreign embassies will ^
celebrate the day according to their e
native customs . 0
nl
Berlin. Dec. 24.?Christmas is not q,
as joyous in Berlin as U6ual. be- tr
cause of the vast number of unemployed
and the forthcoming military
tax. The Emperor and .Empress have j
made their usual gifts, but even a)
Kaiser Wilhelm Is economizing In p
every way posslblo to bring his ex- g(
penbes within his 94,000,000 income
A great step was taken in this dl- bl
rection recently by the sale of one 3
of his many caBtles. Jn
France, Dec. 24.?Christmas is "al- t|
ways gay in Paris, despite condition?
of any kind and fhere will be no ft.
exception to the rule this year. The w
Frenchman forgets his troubles In ^
the midst of gaiety and, as a matter gI
of fact. Industrial conditions are
better In France this season than **
