Mr. and Mrs. Washington and all their little suburbs awoke 1 morning, shook off the shiver: , that distinctive da: tmas feeling and prepare to unhitch themselves from aring slelgh and corfle again to earth, A survey disclosed that the National Capital had passed through one of the most peaceful and prosperous Yuletides in its history, with no cas- more serious than numerous ¢ indigestion, an army of broken toys and a owless landscape for the sleds whose owners had been led to belleve otherwise. From daylight, when the hosts of expectant youngsters gasped thelr & of delight at the glitter- ing array of tinseled trees and plles of gifts, to the and climax of the day—the big dinner of turkey and trimmings, when the first signs of languidness appeared—the family life of tho city was marked by a great ;| round ‘of excitement and good cheer.

But four of the President’s cabinet were in Washington for the day. They were Secretaries Hughes, Weeks and Hoover and Postinaster General New. Officfal Washington generally ob- served the day happily, but quietly, in keeping with the example set at the White House. Spirit of Good Will Manifested. The spirit of good will toward men was manifest in the widespread dis- tribution of the mecessities of life to the city's destitute families by those in more fortunate circumstances Missions and similar organizations sent out hundreds of baskets of food, clothing and toys, and, in addition, served a special Christmas dinner to all who applied. The Police Department found little to do In the way of arresting law violators, so turned their energies to dispensing toys, groceries and cloth- ing to poor families In the various precincts. The fourth precinct sent out many baskets to the needy and entertained the children with a pre- cinct celebration. The second, fifth, sixth and ninth were among other stations staging Christmas parties. Ceremonies Yet to Come. Numerous Christmas week cere- monies will take place during the next few days at clubs, churches, in- stitutions and other places. St. John's D. J. Kaufman, . 1005 Penna. Avenue 1724 Penna.
