The pro prietor of Willard's hotel alone fuK nished Christmas turkey or chicken to fiye hundred: pco families. Many churches were opened .on Christmas day, and appropriate ser vices, with elaborate musical prpv gram mes, were listened to by large audiences. - The way in which these religious celebrations' were attended- attested the fact that in this respect, at least, Christmas docs not change with time. . Quite a number of Senators and Representatives went to their homes to spend, the holidays.

A number of new Members do not seem to recognize the fact that there is an unwritten lawcon-r nected with the make-up of House committees.
