Old Chapel the Norous families on
Christmas day. The day was de
hghtfully spent, and passed off too
quickly for those who had accepted

fully sustained their proverbial hos

fairly grOaned beneath the weight of

from the BEAUTIFULLY laden table
each one was simply too full for
utterance. The pleasures of Xmas

long be remembered by the delight
ed guests.
The guests present were Mr.. and
