and people sit back: with varied feelings toward its passing.To many it will be a matter of content that the hurry and confusion of the season is over.To the children it will bring regret\u2014for Christmas comes: but once a year\u2014and repentance that nature was treated too regardiessly.It was a happy time to those who received good cheer and to those who gave it, for Christmas is the season of charity and goodwill\u2019 to man, and in many lives it was the one eacape of the year from struggle and poverty.- The day was passed very quietly in \u2018Montreal.It is distinctly a family day, when the reunion \u201cof all the members of a family makes the home circle racred from friendly intrusion: and the -heads of households remained in with the little ones, participating in and en- Joying the amusements that always 0 to make up a child's Christmas.The streets were almost deserted except in .the morning, when people flocked to the.churches for the services which were held to celebrate the nirth of the Saviour.The day was almost perfect Christmas weather\u2014cold with a slight flurrv of snow, familiar in years gone by were seen upon the streets Christmas Eve\u2014sons-

remarkable how many taces | - terday enjoyment of the Christmas was Christmas Eve, when the streets were thronged with hurrying, good-natured crowds, intent and eager upon the purchase of their gifts.The shops were crowded from mormng until late at night, and men of years and sporting instincts might be \u2018even seen.gihgeriy handling dolls and toy engines, while women were raiding Cigur stores for purchases for long-suffering hysvands.Everybody appeared to have forgotten things until the lust moment, and it was a cheering | thing to see a man meekly following a\u2019 little woman through the streets and 3 shops, both arms so loaded with parcels that he could only grin sheepishly when | he met a party \u2018of friends.Girls who.\u2018ordinarily are described as queenly : were hauling sleighs full of presents in.a \u2018most ordinary manner.and every-! where were those to whom Christmas brings tips and unwonted luxuries.THE CHILDREN DELIGHTED.In the homes there wae the
