CHRISTMAS AT HOME
EXODUS FROM THE TOWNS MANY GO TO CONTINENT. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, December 27. Although Britain has been without newspapers for two days, people everywhere in tho city and the tiniest hamlet have been reassured of tho King’s condition through wireless. If any now phase of Christmas is noticeable it is probably tho increase in the number who spent the festival in the country, at tho seaside, or on the Continent, whole families and groups of friends migrating from the towns. A record number went to Paris and else where. The famous' Devon and Cornish expresses were triplicated. Resorts nearer London were booked up months ago. While the homo Christmas is never likely to disappear,_ the increasing tendency to abandon it is attributed to smaller homes, labour difficulties, and tbo combined activities of the 'railways in the lace ot road competition. Another feature is that there arc fewer patrons at the expensive London hotel celebrations.—Australian Press Association.
