Gandies In Windows For Christmas Old, very old in England, is the custom or setting lighted candles in the windows on Christmas eve, to give holiday greetings to the passerby, but little use has been made of this charming idea in our country. Weeks before Christmas when plans were being made for the Community tree, it was suggest ed that each household set light ed candles in the windows to wish “Merry Christmas” to their fellow tonwspeople. This custom has been adopted in Baltimore the last few years and not even the most enthusias tic supporter of the candle greet ing expected to see half the num ber of windows that were lighted when Christmas eve came. Scar cely a citv block in any section of the city was without at least one illumination and it was not rare to see every house in a row brightened by this evidence of “Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men.” warmed the verv cockles of one^sb eart to walk through street after Street with these silent Christies greetings everywhere and no ofoe who has gone through such experiences could ever want to know another Christmas eve without them.
