with their foster father, Winner W.
Bruce.
While everyone else in the house was
half frozen Artmarhoke and Zaksriner
sought cakes of ice and buckets of snow
in the back yard. They rolled and tum-
bled about, laughing merrily while
their pies and cakes "baked" in the
frost.

said one.
20, dear, dear, so am I, Zaksriner,'
said the other.
To cool off they sat in the snow and
made more snow pies to freeze into ice.
Their eyes glistened like black dia-
monds and their cheeks were red as
roses. Indoors people were bundled up
in wraps and seemed to think they
never would get warm, while the little
youngsters outside were happy.
Zaksriner spent two hours sewing the
other day for her baby, a blonde-haired
doll of which she is proud. and then ran
over to Capt. Bruce and asked:
''These people don't have such cold
weather like this all the time?"
"No, indeed. If this would keep up no
one would 60 outdoors" said Capt.
Bruce. ,,.> 49,: = -..

But the people in this part of the
country are not used to such cold"
said Capt Bruce. @.- .":
Perhaps this weather just came for
Artmarhoke and myself. Maybe it just
followed US here. o, my. suppose-sup-

be mad, and SADLY perhaps they
wouldn't let us stay here!"
Artmarhoke went to the Museum of
I Natural History the other day, where
casts are being made of both the chill
zdren. Hers is almost completed.
Zaksriner remained at home.
Accompanied by a servant from her
home Artmarhoke went over to fhe

watched the bears snoring in their
snow-lined cages.
