IG A JOLLY CHRISTIANS FOR EVEN POOR FOLKS How Notables and the Needy Enjoyed the Day Hereabouts, and Some Facts Concerning the Day Elsewhere, Which Show that the Holiday Is Most Joyful. New York awoke to-day to an old-fashioned Christmas. Along in the wee sma’ hours before dawn the weather clerk spread a fine soft mantle Of fleecy snow over the streets and housetops to accommodate the runners of Kris Kringle’s sled, and the gift bearer made his rounds with easo and celerity. White Christmas Came After All. Mighty few homes were left unvisited in this vast city, for charitable emissaries of good St. Nicholas have worked hard to supplement him in the work of bringing good cheer to the homes of rich and poor, How Jolly the snow made the holiday, bringing the merry tinkle of sleigh bells to add to the general chorus of merriment. It was a good- natured snowstorm, without a bite of frost in it, falling tumultuously, frolicking in the faces of the churchgéers, then nestling snugly in the nooks and crannies of housetops and chimney eaves, softening the architectural hard lines and making a pretty Christmas picture of the merry-making town. And everybody was having a good time. Over on the east side, those who had been overlooked by the many dis- tributors of Christmas dinners did not lack for good cheer. The Salvation Army, the Educational Alliance and many kindred charity organizations gave big Christmas spreads. Congressman-Hlect Tim Sullivan took care of the human estrays of the Bowery. Even the inmates of the city’s penal institutions had full share of the holiday celebration in gifts and good cheer, and the thousand dinners furnished by The Evening World made glad many poor homes, For the city at large the earlier part of the day was Biven over to ghurch going.. Then came the event of the day in which turkey cuts the most prominent figure. After that, jollity, according to every one's bent. With some it was a romp at home with the children. Those not so blest will amuse themselves in many ways, here are entertainments galore and the theatres will be open afternoon and evening, and for all of them crowded houses are assured. The telegraph tells how the nation’s notables are spending their Christ- ‘mas holiday. ‘ MANY SPLENDID DINNERS FOR SOCIETY’S CHRISTMAS A merry Christmas party is assembled at, Georgian Court, Lakewood, N.

NOT ONE AMERICAN BORN. Miss A. M. Walker, teacher of the sixth grade in the public school at No. 8 Henry street, is proud of her class of thirty-six pupiis, not one of whom is of American parentage. Most of them are Polish or Russian Jews, with a few Italians and one Chinaman, ‘The latter, Chin Chung, fourteen years old, ts the leader of the class and the most popu- lar member of it. A few days ago Miss Walker read Longteltow's Christmas Carol to the class and then asked each member to write a composition for her, expressing in thelr own way what they remem. bered of the poem. Chin Chung wrot “Year in, year out, the cheerful ring- Ing of the old bells, bursting on our ears in all directions, 1s perfectly famil- far to each of us.
