little shops true the stagecoaches were picturesque but they were also rather uncomfort able yet it you study the books and news papers ot those days you begin to realize that matters were not aa bad as might be imagined and that in some respects our ancestors of a cen tury ago got more christmas fun for their money than we do take the theatres there were plenty ot them the plays wore good and seats were much cheaper than they are today also that the public were admitted at halfprice after s oclock the theatres started at six or seven in those da3 seabaths in london there were no fewer thau twenty tea gardens in and around loudon with all sorts of amusements includ ing fireworks at vauxhall gardens 400 peoplo were employed then thcremvere eighteen public baths in london iu 1s31 and aea water was laid on at all of them in that respect our ancestors were ahead of their descendants food was plentiful and cheap beef and mut ton were little more than onethird of their present price and vegetables were abundant and good beer aud porter could be had as low as a penny a glass spirits were almost equally cheap another cheap thing wa3 travel by river you could be rowed from lon don bridge to somerset house for 5c in those days the river was the great channel of communication for londoners saddle hor3es too were cheap you could hire one for the day j for 5200 the modern londoner transported back to those times would have found two ot his priucipal amuse ments sadly lacking football and dancing the great football clubs ot today had not started and such foot ball as existed was a peculiarly brutal game in which both hacking and trip ping were legal dancing was con fined to private houses and wa3 very formal but if you wish to get a real idea ot christmas in those days the
