"N. rae eee Se Soe ee true that = Yuletide festival is es- sentially one to be observed in the firelight avn the Indightes’ of homie. A Christmas which ee aes joy of the family gathering, mary pleasures of the heavily teen table, the jolly games"that are indulged in by old oF young alike, can scarcely be, called a.Christmas at all. And yet there ath hundreds and perhaps thousands of men (and to ifemialier extent women) who have to forgo the teal Christmas of hearth and ome, for the sole reason that the ordinary machinery of workaday life —— be closed down entirely, no ter how insistent the call of the gaily decorated homes; and the pleas- orem of the firelight and festive oa.

In small towns and villages it scarecly affects anybody else if some of the inhabitants desire to pay vis- its to friends. In big towns, howev- rjer, this movement of people neces- sitates a transport service, and so, for at Teast six hours, many street car_men and taxi drivers have to make h iness for themselves the wheel or inside their vehicles. In restaurants and cafes, some 3 which have to open as usual Christmas, there are waiters gat waitresses and members of the kit- chen staff at work providing for the people awho have no homes or wh for some reason, are away from them for Christmas Day At the hospitals and especially in the children’s wards, nurses and ward-maids are busier than at any other time, for the patients must be more than usually well cared for in view of the fact that they are com- pelled to spend Christmas in a hos- pital ward instead of the more fam- iliar little living-room at their own homes. Quite a number of people go o bed on Christmas Eve without knowing how circumstances may compel them to employ the waking hours on the following day. Doctors, for instance, may have to spend the whole day away from their families, if the state of their patients is such as to make this necessary. at Wellington to Organizc— A Conservative organziation meet- ing for the riding of North Welling- ton is called for Friday, December 12, in Arthur.
