XMAS IN ENGLAND
MANY GAY TRIPPERS EXCURSIONISTS EVER YWHERE. United Press Assn —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, December 27. Although Britain has been without newspapers for two days the news was easily summarised to the people everywhere in the city and the tiniest hamlet and they were also reassured of the King’s condition through wireless. If any new phase of Christmas was noticeable it was probably tlie increase in tlie number who spent the festival in the country, at the seaside or on the Continent, whole families and groups of friends migrating from the towns. A record number went to Paris and elsewhere. Th© famous Devon and "Cornish expresses were triplicated. Resorts nearer Loudon were booked up months ago. While the home Christmas is never likely to disappear the increasing tendency to abandon it is attributed to smaller homes, labour difficulties and the combined activities of railways in the face of road competition. Another feature was that there were fewer patrons at expensive London hotel celebrations.
