EDQERTON. fCPTTKbt bj American frws AmocI. iwn, IWU.J OBT of tht B.000.000 people Ut. log within the twcuty.mlls radiu of th American me tropollt "Bit up nnd take no- llco" on the npproucli of Christmas. They do more. They sally forth In jjreut droves, buying things to give nwuy, to cat, and what not. They make life a burden to the expressmen, tlio post men nnd the department store clerks. Tho feminine Now Yorker ts especially in evidence. Sometimes she goes It alone, sailing into tho bargain counter scrimmages llko a regiment going Into battle. At other times Bho drags along licr bored looking husband or some other male member of the 'family, who execrates all shopping nnd who swears under bis breath or looks as If he wanted to. In companies, battailous and divisions goes forth tho shopping nrmy, marching through tho streets, deploying up nnd down tho nlslea, making nttneks and counterattack' upon tho candy department, the mil linery department, the toy department and everything elso la sight. Sales men grow haggard nutl wan under tho onslnug.it, and great wagon trains haul nwuy tho spoils of battle. Christmas in New York is pretty much as It is In all other cities, except that there Is moro of it. There Is so much of it, in fact, thnt tho figures which make up tho holiday statistics utaggcr and wnbblo undor tho load. Big figures never did have to bear up under such burdens as they do In American statistics, nnywny. They carry millions on their broad shoul lArn. millions of population, produc tion, wealth nnd. by no means least of nil, In Christmas outlny. Uut figurci nre not the only things thnt Rtngger nt Christmas. Tho post effleo department staggers, the express compnnlcs stagger, tho dray horses stagger, tho storo managers stagger, nnd even tho old man's pocketbook Btnggers. Tlio only reason tho shoppers do not stagger Is becuuso they nro wedged In ho tight they can't. Alto gether It Is n staggering holiday, nnd tho ancient, ruby nud nthlotlc 8. ClnU'i Btnggers most of all. Tho ouly ones who do not stagger nro tho small folks. jThcy bnvo nil the best of it, nnd tho dfler pcoplo forget their weariness In the Joy of tho little oncrf. Tho winter solstice Is hardly tho time thnt one would .look for blossoms, yet t about that senson tho streets of Now York bloom with holly and evergreen. Jbero nro festoons of Ivy and wrenths of mistletoe. The green is In tho win dows nnd over tho awnings. The streot renders nro along tlio curblngs with all tho latest novelties to gladden tho heart of tho small boy. Last year's dolls nro trotted out Into show places, jn tho toy stores do a land otllco busl ' Less. Even tho oust side, whero con ercgato all tho nationalities of tho earth, Is not without splotches of color. Tho Chlnoso quarter, It Is true, does not show much moro than tho usual nnltnntlnn. About the only time the Celestials break out Into holiday nttlre 1b ut tho time of tho Chlneso Now JTenr, but then they fo riot In co!r and sound that they inako up for the rest of tho year. .A trip through tho east side- n few days before Christians furnishes an interesting side light on tho universal ity of the holiday. Here peoples of nil lands will bo found preparing for thp colebrntlon of n common festival. Hus jjans at home, because of the difference lu the culendar. do not hold their Cnristmns until some tlmo nfter ours, but Itusslans In New York lire coming moro nnd more Into American customs nnd nro adopting ourtlme In plneo of their own. The sniue Is true of tliono fjom other Slavic countries. As for tho (iernmnle nnd Latin imtions of northern and southern Europe, Dee. "X is their day for celebrating the Na tivity, so that no chango Is necessary with immigrants from those lauds. The vast numbers of these peoples In our chlof city may bo realized when It Is reflected thnt last year over n million foreigners caiiio to our shores aud n vast portion of these stopped on tho east side In Now York. Ilccuiiso of poverty Christmas with tho tenement dwellers Is not what It Is with the middle classes nnd those better situ ated, yet tho dny passes In few evon of the poorest quarters without some token of remembrance. Tho omnipresent streot vender U present lu tho east sldo as elsewhere. For tho most part ho has laces, rugi nnd wondrous fabrics for sale, but on Christmas week toys nro also in evi dence. Mechnnlcal dancing bears, flghtlug coeks and prlzo uparrers aro inado to do their evolutions on tho pavements nnd urc offered for a nickel to whomsoever will buy. Dolls of the poorer quality nro placed lu tempting nrrny. Christmas tree ornaments are arranged In glittering profusion. These ilazalo the eyes of the bareheaded and dirty urchins thnt nro us thick as tiles on tho streots. Hero n son of southern Europo, muster of n soft and sibilant broken English, squeezes nnon n rubber ball from which n tlgure springs nut, ejaculatlug with each squeeze, Sentn Clnwss fer Chrlssmuss tree." Two organizations In evidence at nil times, but moro so than over nt tbo Christmas season, nro the Sal vation Army nnd tho Volunteers of America. These nro rivals, lu good works and otherwise, bo whorover one has out tin alms pot tho other is gen erally found but a fQW feet away.
