GAIETY IN AMERICA.
Thousands of Needy People Remembered. NEW YORK. December 25. With the repeal of Prohibition and the general improvement in economic conditions America enjoyed the gayest Christmas for several years. Although the desired snow was missing, most of the eastern and central section of the north-western States experienced the coldest Christmas in history. Relief organisations in New York and elsewhere reported an abundance of provisions for the needy. Forty thousand free dinners were served in New York, which is much below the number served last year. In Washington four generations of Roosevelts celebrated the holiday at the White House, the President’s mother, children and grand-children being present.
