solicitous for the well-being Of their
fellow, men to see that 'this is the case.
Look, for instance, at Washington Ir
ving telling In "Bracebridge Hall,"
the story of a. good old-fashioned
Christmas according to the flesh, a
picture that was to express, his ideal
of "on earth peace1, good will toward
men." Or turn to the greatest of all
the chroniclers of "Christmas, Charles
IMckens, the map who in his many
pictures, from that of Dingley Dell to
that of Scrooge's bedroom, sought to
make Christmas a season of good
deeds and of good cheer. "Blessings
on your kind heart !' Jeffrey wrote to
him, on the publication of the "Christ
mas Carol." You should be happy
yourself, for you may be surerou have
done more good by this little publica
tion, fostered more kindly feelings and
prompted more positivte acts to benefi
cejice than can be traced to all the
pulpits and confessionals in Christen
dom since Chrstmas, 1842." After
.that, read the accounts; of how they

ONOLULTJ oft Christmas eve con
soles herself for the lack of
snow and other traditional Yule-.
tide fixings with what - paper calls
a conglomerate festivity impossible
of counterpart anywhere else in the
world." With an abandonment of
hilarity equaled only by the pure in
congruity of the thing,, Americans,
Japanese, Englishmen Filipinos; Por
tuguese, Koreans, soldiers, sailors and
civilian nien, women and children, took
part in the pageant of the streets,
throwing confetti and lighting fire
'crackers. "After all, It is the incongruity that
makes the celebration of Christmas in
Honolulu unique. Here in the melting
pot of the Pacific, where those who
melt are matched by those who resist
the alchemy, all nations of the earth
meet In common observance."
