CHRISTMAS
OF RUSSIANS
Several local business men had their
first insight into the interesting cus
toms pertaining to the occasion of the
observation of the Russian Christ
mas, which event is celebrated 13 days
after the date of the Protestant
Christmas. The occasion was a de
lightful dinner on the 7th of this
month given by Mrs. P. Gilovich to
about 25 guests. The spread was
bountiful and the dinner perfectly ap
pointed, being thoroughly enjoyed by
the fortunate guests, among whom
were Mrs. Frank Korth, Mrs. C. G.
Ganty, Miss Korth, Esther Korth, E.
M. Huff, Dan Vucetich and Sidney
Anderson.
The Russian and Serbian songs
which were a feature of the occasion
were very entertaining and well ren
dered. The day-time festivities were
followed by a dance in the evening,
which the guests entered with much
spirit.
In speaking of the delightful affair
Mr. Anderson said it was a revelation
to him and that he was amazed by
the facility with which the Old World
was grafted onto the New and especi
ally that with which the many varied
interests entering into the lives of
men so far away from their native
country should still leave them with
the loyalty and inclination to observe
the Christmas holidays in all of its
colorful distinction and native cus
toms.
