THE HOLIDAY IN BRITAIN.
ROYAL FAMILY CELEBRATION. QUADRUPLETS IN LIMELIGHT. THREE FISHERMEN DROWNED. \ ” “ (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 11.5 a.m.) LONDON, December 26. Christmas in England proved to be the mildest since 1931, nevertheless traces of the intense cold before Christmas was so pronounced that- the Serpentine Swimming Club was obliged to postpone its Christmas race, for the first time in 40 years, as the ice had not thawed. The Royal Family partook of the traditional Christmas dinner of turkey, beef and pudding. After the King’s broadcast, they assembled in the ballroom, where a large illuminated Christmas tree was laden with gifts. Their Majesties attended Communion at Sandringham Church in the morning. The King appeared delighted with the greetings from hundreds of people gathered in the park. The Miles quadruplets were also the centre of attention. Cameramen invaded the nursery and filmed the gaily decorated room and little cots, at the end of which stockings were hanging.
