By 5:30 her selections were all made. This was the way to do Christmas shopping, she thought, not the haphazard way the bad been doing It for years.

The company, however, waited in vain, for scarcely had the pudding started on its journey before it was held up by s mob, attacked with knives and choppers, and distributed to many not bidden to the feast. Another huge podding resulted e from a sporting offer of an Islington Innkeeper to make and distribute to the poor of the neighborhood a Christmas pudding the weight of any one of his customers. He reckoned without Daniel Lambert, the heaviest man on record, who was induced by a regular patron to drop In one morning. Daniel turned the scale at 700 pound but tbe Innkeeper kept his word and produced a pudding of eqnal weight. old-tim- The World's Christmas Dinner HE biting cold of a sero day, coupled with finding merchandise stocks badly depleted, filled many last minute shoppers with good resolutions to do their Christmas shopping early next year.
