RAMBLER ROSES ALONG
NANTUCKET FENCES

Nantucket, Mass, Dec. 2l.---
Rambler roses still blossom along
the fences in Nantucket; farmers
are blowing their fields and fish
ermen 90 about their daily busi-
ness as though it were mid-sum-
mer instead of the first day of
winter.
Frequently in years past this
little island town has been cut
off from the mainland for days
or weeks at a time by great ice
barriers but this year with
Christmas only four days away
the residents have yet to see
their first snowstorm of the sea-
son and no ice has formed. Last
year the young folks were en-
toying coasting and skating long
before Christmas and sleds and
skates were welcome gifts, but
this year dealers are in doubt
whether Santa Claus will find
demand for their stocks of these
goods.
