OUR PROGRAMME, by Mr. and Mrs.
G. K. CHESTERTON

STRICTLY speaking, St.Nicholas has no genuine connection with Christmas time. His own feait, which rivalled. Christmas in the revelry with which it was celebrated, and is still, in some countries, one of the most important festivals of the year, is much earlier in the month, and it is only recently that Saint Nicholas has become the Santa Claus of English murseries, and the whole cerom onial of giving presents been attached to Christmas itself. How the change came Mr. Branch Johnson , an author well versed in folklore and popular hagiology, will explain in this evening's talk.

From Whitcchapel
Very early in the short history of broadcasting the Rev. John Mayo was one of the very first clergymen to take a sympathetic interest in the new medium, and he broadcast an address from the Studio the first Christmas that the B.B.C saw - in 1922. The carols relayed from his church in Whitechapel have been among the most successful of Christmas broadcasts, and listeners will be glad to hear them again this year.

a. Ghost Story by E. F. BENSON, specially adapted for broadcasting and read by tho Author
CONNOISSEURS of ghost stories are a fastidious breed, and only the subtlest forms of horror pass their tests. Mr. E. F. Benson's book, ' The Room in tho Tower,' is in all these collections, and one of the most highly-prized volumes there. It is now, unhappily, out of print, and there is all the more reason to welcome the author's reading of one of the stories from it, in a special adaptation that he has made for broadcasting, tonight. Those who are not connoisseurs of ghost stories, and who are not too sure of their nerves, had better not listen tonight.
