the following to prove her point: She

the rare mellow panels, m~arvelously

Christmas on
A Canalboat

"How are we going to spend Christ
mas" exclaimed the good natured Mrs
Captain Boggs, seemingly a bit sur
prised at the question, for canalboat
folk are sensitive of any criticism aim
ed in their direction.
''Why, we're going to spend the day
just like other folk. Some think be-
cause we live ON canalboats we don't
have any comforts and eat like saw
ages. My, but I'd heap sight rather
live down here than in fiat like my
niece's. She's got six rooms, and they
don't begin to be as big as mine.
IF you think there amt room just
look here,'' and Mrs. Boggs displayed
the secrets of a suit of rooms, the in
genuity of the arrangement rivaling
the den Of the New York bachelor girl.
Out of the main cabin, which served as
living and dining room combined, two
alcoves jutted, besides an infinitesimal
corner dubbed the kitchen, but which
was even timer than the modern apart.
ment house kitchenette.
While under ordinary circumstances
the kitchen was part of the cabin
proper, two doors at right angles to
each other could be drawn out, which,
meeting, formed a room by itself. A
shiny coal stove or range quite filled
the compartment, leaving just room
before it in which to work, while above
it every inch Of wall space was utilized
with pots and kettles and kitchen uten-
sils of every sort.
A low cupboard opening into the
hold contained more articles of kitchen
use, as well as vegetables and canned
goods. Bunks were displayed in the
two other alcoves, which were in open
view of the cabin. But from the re-
cesses of the boat Mrs. Boggs pulled
out a sliding door, which completely
divided the space into two rooms, and
when curtains were drawn into the
cabin the occupants enjoyed all the
privacy desired.
A big divan could be opened up at
night into roomy double bed, and an.
other bunk, '.just under the caves"
was sufficiently large to tuck two
small youngsters away. Chests of
drawers built in, wardrobes and cup
boards in out of the way places sup
piled room for bedding, clothing and
the boots and shoes of a family of
children.
One of the biggest surprises in the
boat, one which conveyed a hint that
might be applied in small houses where
room is at premium, was the pre-
served fruit lockers.
I'VE all do up our own fruit went
on Mrs. Boggs. You see, while we
60 up the canal we are in the country
most of the time, and it is much
cheaper to put UP our own fruit than
Pleasantville weekly press., 1910-12-10


buy it in winter, and this is where we
store it,
Going to the stairs up the companion
way, she pulled out tiny drawers
Small knobs jutted out from the face
of each step with which to open the
drawers, while within there was quite
room enough to allow pint fruit jars
to stand upright.
A cold storage room was tucked
away in the hold, into which small
door about two feet in height opened.
The dining table was a folding affair
which turned up against the wall OF
the cabin when not in use.
When some surprise was expressed
at the presence of sewing machine
in the room Mrs. Boggs said: "Oh,
that's nothing, Many of the boats
have organs as well, and there is one
fitted up with porcelain bathtub. So:
you see, we have some of the luxuries
of city houses and plenty of good air
and sunshine. A concert Is to be
given on one of the boats here New
Years eve, and If you should like to
come down we'd be glad to have you
and show you bit of canalboat hos

Scott S Rhyme Of
Merry Christmas

Heap on more wood, The wind is
chill,
But, let it whistle as it will,
Well keep our Christmas merry still.
Each age has deemed the newborn
year
The fittest time for festal cheer,
And we'll our Christian sires of old
Loved when the year its course had
rolled
And brought blithe Christmas back
again
With all his hospitabIe train.
Domestic and religious rite
Gave honor to the holy night.
On Christmas eve the bells were rung;
On Christmas eve the mass was sung;
That only night in all the year
Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear.
The damsel donned her kirtle sheen
The hall was dressed with holly green;
Forth to the wood did merry men go
To gather in the mistletoe.
Then opened wide the barons hall
To vassal, tenant, serf and all;
