CAROL SINGING TONIGHT Community Club Will Serenade —Free Dinners and Party at Auditorium. The capital city's Christmas observ- ance was formally ushered in Monday evening with the annual frolic of St. George’s Sunday school at the Elk’s temple, an event which proved unus- ually enjoyable for the elders ag well as the young folks. This evening Christmas exercises will be held in a majority of the protestant churches, and there will be midnight mass at St. Mary's procathedral, and holy com- munion and midnight services at St. George's. There will be the usual re- ligious services in all of the city’s churches tomorrow forenoon, and the remainder of the day will be given over to family reunions and feasting. Fears that this would be a “Green ‘Christmas,” with its attendant fears of a “White Cemetery.” were dispell- ed some days ago. Nature has never been more becomingly dressva for this ocacsion. A fresh fall of snow yesterday garbed the lands:ape in pearly white, while an unusual amount of moisture in th» atmosphere has trimmed every twiy and branch with a beautiful crystal foliage, giving a fairy aspect to the cu:y. A marked access of “Christmas spirit’ has re- enited from this timely change in the weather. The town looks and feels de- ciedly “Christmassy.” IWweke the rate has in age of tyo per day, during the last eased suddenly to twenty-five per day of cases for the month of December in this city shows about the same condi- tion, only worse, as in the last two days, more than 120 cases have been reported. As a result, there is some possibility that the mask wearing order may be renewed though it is unlikely that pub- lic places will again be closed.

PRICE FIVE CENTS PLANS MADE FOR WILSON’S VISIT TO ENGLAND TOMORROW. DINES WITH YANKS ON XMAS President Will Eat From Soldiers Mess Kit—To ‘Dine Formally Later With Gen. Pershing— Speech for the Army Prepared. London, Dec. 24.—Arrangements for the banquet to be given Friday night in honor of Pres. Wilson are similar to those made for the King of Denmark during his*recent visit. The banquet room is Buckingham palace is decorated in white and gold. It is the largest room in the palace. this probably will be hidden by dinner by Lloyd George for the There is a throne at one end, but flowers. The substitution of a banquet which was to have been given at Lancashire castle means that it will be a much smaller and more intimate assemblage. The president will dine with King George at the palace on Monday evening. He will leave the palace Tuesday morning, pass through lines of troops on his way to the station and take the train for Dover. GO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING Paris, Dec. 24.—President and Mrs. Wilson went Christmas shop- ping this morning. They walked from the Murat residence down one of the principal thoroughfares, going at once to a widely known American book shop were the president was immediately recog- nized. Many members of the American colony saw them and were envious of a scene bringing back home at Christmas time. LEAVE PARIS TOMORROW.
