The second annual family Christmas en- tertainment., given Saturday evening by Minister and Mrs. Pioda to the Swiss, their families and descendants, living in this city and in Baltimore, was held in Arion Hall instead of at the legation, owing to the in- adequate proportions of the latter. Some three hundred persons responded to the in- vitations to be present, including quite a large delegation of ladies and gentlemen from Baltimore. It, proved a genuinely family affair, emphasized by the numerous children present. Madam Pioda, attired in the full picturesque Bernese costume, as- sisted by the minister, received her guests. At one end of the hall stood a richly laden Christmas tree of generous proportions, and neatly arranged upon adjacent tables were displayed numerous attractive gifts from the fatherland. All of the gifts were numbered and each guest upon arrival received a card entitling him or her to a present. After suitable music by a small but select orchestra, Min- ister Pioda addressed the assemblage, first in German and then in English, charging the sons and daughters of Helvetia to preserve among the customs of the land of their origin, notably the Christmas tree festival, to remember well the lessons their mother country had taught them, and now that they had cast th lots with Helvetia’s generous political twin sister. Columbia, to serve the latter equally well. He also urged a closer union between his fellow countrymen in the cities of Washington and Baltimore, and alluded with gratitica- tion to the fact of the organization during the past year of two ladies’ societies, the Stauffacherin in this city and another in Baltimore, both of which had already proved beneficent factors in the community.
