seems to be to procure certain dain'

One might say. however, that the
most appropriate of Christmas din,
ners is eaten by the robins which at
this holiday season feed largely upon
the berries of the holly-particularly
upon the berries of a kind Of holly
called the black alder, which are as
bitter as Quinine.

The canvasback duck breeds in the
far North, from Minnesota to the
Arctic circle, in the interior. But the
call of Christmas turns 1t southwark,
and it spends the holidays along the
southern Atlantic coast. from the
Chesapeake to Cuba. 1t feeds on vari-

The wild Canada goose goes all the
way to Mexico in winter, spending
Christmas among the lakes in that

ing OF Virginia, was well represented
with kinsmen and kinswomen. She
and her mother Mrs. William II. Boil
ing, have lived together for several
years and Mrs. Boiling, of course, was
the dcwager queen of the occasion

1t will he remembered that Miss
Margaret Wilson and Miss Helen
Woodrow Bones really brought about
the romance of the president and his
bride. During the first Mrs. Wilson's
last Illness Miss Bones was almost
constantly at her side. The vigil was
tedious and wearing, and after Mrs.
Wilson's death Miss Bones was in
such frail health herself that DR..
Carey Grayson, family friend and
White House physician, was much
worried He urged Miss Bones to take
long walks-and Miss Bones did So,
accompanied by her widow friend,
Mrs. Norman Gait, who also enjoyed
journeys afoot.
Friendship Ripens Into Love.
BY and by, Miss Bones introduced
Miss Wilson and Mrs. Gait, and the
friendship of these two soon became
intimate. In the natural course of
events Mrs. Gait took luncheon now
and then with her chums in the
White House-and II wasn't long be-
fore the president was enjoying Mrs.
Calls charm.
Mr.. Wilson is the sixth president OF
the United States to marry widow.
Washington, jefferson, Madison, Fill
more and Benjamin Harrison were his
predecessors in this sort of union,
but in not more than one or two cases
was the widow the second wite--as in
this case. John Tyler and Theodore
Roosevelt married twice, but their
second wives had not been welded be-
fore.
1t is scarcely necessary to recall
George Washington's marriage. The
world knows of his courtship, engage
ment and espousal His love was the
