No light appears anywhere in the house until the small watcher at the window an- nounces “the star,” the very first one visible in the east, and then the feast begins as it has in the ancient land of oland since its conversion to the Christian religion. They 1 sing the beautiful Christmas hymn, “Come, All Ye Faithful,” and the national hymns of their count and the tree Is lighted and from every window can- wiles and other lights blaze. The gifts are exchanged and the household fin- ishes a very crowded evening by at- tending midnight mass at St. Paul's. Sir Auckland Geddes and his family will be reunited in their home in Kent for the first time in two years, and their holiday will be of the liveliest 'and most typical kind. But there many other little folks here from ‘the realm of King George who will kieep the festival after the traditional ways. The small Chiltons, children f the charge d'affaires and Mr: ienry Getty Chilton, are half Amer- Tican,’ and “they have spent more hristmases. in this country than in heir father's land, and the presence their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas O'Brien of Detroit, gives the keynote of their celebration. But the two children in the home of the mil- “itary attache, Col. and Mrs. Graham - Charlton, will have one of the hap- : piest celebrations, for the boy, Win- gate, just ten, has made the voyage “from London all by himself in order “to be at home with his parents and *with_little Moira, his sister, who is five. When Col. Charlton was assigned to Washington he had already placed ~his young son in school, and it was determined not to interrupt his studies “until the Christmas recess. The 1ad will have some crowded hours during his ten-day visit here, for as & traveler he would command atten- tion from the children, and he is the sturdfest and most manly, friendly and companionable boy “one could Wish to know. He will travel back 1o his studies the first week of Jan- uary. The Scandinavian and Teutonic na- .tions have many little folks in their embassies and legation staffs. The iwo little girls in the household of ‘Mr. and Mrs. Roger Nielsen of the - Danish legation were born in this “ country, and it is a struggle to im- £ press the ancient ways of their own . Jand upon them. As Rita and Ruth “ are_respectively nine and ten years old, they have rather outgrown some #of the Kriss Kringle legends, but they will celeprate on Christmas eve ‘_after the ways of Denmark and have "inany of the little playmates in to enjoy the fun. The children of the "'Norwegian counselor and Mme. Steen Lwill keep Christmas eve also and have a tree and all the parapher- ynalia for a gay time. " Three interesting children will make the home of the counselor of o the French embassy and Mme. de La- " houlaye lively all through the week. o Whe aldealy Francals, s Dative five & hirth Virginia, ' lidavs with | Eroest W. | the | on | d of | aviors | from New York tomorrow.

In the households of the Latin | American diplomats and where the | children predominate there are vari- { ous mod of celebration, but the re- ligious aspect is more to the fore than is the family festival and a | 8reat feast. All those with children of tender years have statuary rep- resentation of the cri at Bethlehem llrld all the gifts are placed about (it and through the week all the celebrations have it for a central point. Mme. Alfaro, who was always | accustomed to taking the little ones ito the cathedral where, at dusk, all | could pay homage to the holy shrine which been erected there, has her own little corner in the new le- gation in Massachusetts avenue with {a_dainty lot of little statues which are so appealing to the young. Many of the other Latins have the same and for the charming little daughters of the "ortuguese charge and Sen- hora Leal, Marie Theresa, four, and Rita, two vears old. the visit to the holy’ crib will be the emphatic point of the day’s celebration. There are but two children in the Italian embassy this vear, the pretty little daughter of the military at- tache and the Marquise de Bernezzo being in Kome with her mother. These are the son and daughter of Col. Mario Calderara and Donna Emmy, his wife. They are a boy, Ludona, who is seven, and a little girl, Marla Anjelica, who is nine, and both are deeply engrossed in learn- ing all about their new home. They will have a tree and follow the ways of their playmates, though at home the season would have been spent in the Villa Gamba near Lucca, in Tus- any, the home of their grandmother, Countess Maria Gamba de Ghiselli, Here Christmas would be a day of prayer and almsgivings. with flowers sent to friends. = All the good time would come with the Epifania, the good fairy of children, whose visita- tion marks the feast of the three kings, January 6. There will be a colorful and traditional celebration of the great day at the Hungarian legation, where there is a small girl of less than a year and children from four to twelve. At the Rumanian legation the charge d'affaires and Mme. Nano will have all that the feast brings for young Frederick, their only son, who will soon be four and who remains the most loyal ad- herent of Santa Claus.
