Despite Methods of Travel and the
Ease of Making Long Journeys,
Home Holiday Best.
MEN Christmas began Its gay
11/ pilgrimage down the years
society was stationary. To
day families and individuals
are constantly on the move.
Modeifn means of transportation have
abolished distance. The family today
scatters to all quarters of the earth.
One brother stays on the Atlantic
coast, the other migrates to the Pa
cific seaboard, but then they are “only
four or five days apart.” In England
sons and daughters find their way in
all parts of an empire that covers the
globe; It Is nothing for the cabled
Christmas salutations of a single fam
ily to travel between Montreal, Mel
bourne, Calcutta, Cape Town and Lon
don.
When Irving wrote “Bracebrldge
Hall,” the little journey Into the coun
try was itself an adventure. The ease
of travel nowadays has taken the edge
from all such jaunts. Everybody
travels. And Increasing numbers use
the modern transport system to leave
home at Christmas time. It may be
heresy, but the custom of spending
Christmas at an inn is gaining ground.
Congestion of population in great
cities 1ms narrowed the dimensions of
the metropolitan home, and not many
apartments can comfortably accom
modate the family reunion and the
preparation and setting of the Christ
mas dinner. So when the trip to the
country fails the city family goes holi
day-making in an hotel. Tf hotels once
were lonely places at Christmas they
are far from lonely now, and many
seek them both for dinner and frolic.
These are tendencies, variations
upon tin* old theme. The theme, how
ever, remains unchanged. It will not
change. The great majority will still
keep Christmas at home. Where there
are children the proper paraphernalia
and the time-honored observances will
hold the family at home. No substi
tute fully satisfies. At best the away-
from-home Christinas Is only a substi
tute for the genuine article. So long
as children come to enrich the lives
of men and women Christmas will re
main essentially a home holiday. The
organization of modern life brings
some compensations to the absent and
the homeless, hut the fullness of
Christmas satisfaction is only to he
had at the family hearth.
One’* Ideals.
Humanity never rises above Its
Ideals. What ought to be Is always
above and beyond whnt Is. Unless,
however, we have before us the vision
of something better, we can never
