CHANGING CUSTOMS
CHRISTMAS AT HOME MIGRATION FROM TOWNS (Australian ami N.Z Press Association.) LONDON, Doc 27. Although Britain has been without newspapers for two days, the news is easily summarised. People everywhere in the city and in the tiniest hamlet were reassured of the. King's condition through the wireless. If any new phase of Christmas was noticeable, it, was probably the increase in the number who spent the, festival in the country, at the seaside, or on the Continent, whole families and groups of friends migrating from towns, A record number went to Paris and elsewhere. The famous Devon and Cornish expresses were triplicated. Resorts nearer London were booked up months ago. While the home Christmas is never likely to disappear, the increasing tendency to abandon it is attributed to the. smaller home, labor difficulties, and the combined activities of the railway in the face of road competition. / Another feature was that there were fewer patrons at the expensive London hotel celebrations.
