MO more joyous and colorful feast
~ will be celebrated in Washington
than in the official home Of the new

six years ago, Miss Verta Osol,
daughter Of . large landowner about

Christmas the household was busy in
many ways. For instance, Thousands

nodded by hand and quantity painted
for the dining table. the drawing
rooms and the Christmas tree. Nine.
Seya looks with disdain on the elec-
trio method Of lighting trees or the
festive board. and she is not entirely
content with the thin machine-made
candles, which are all the stores offer
in Washington. Candles being the
method of lighting hallowed by
sacred memories, she would greatly
prefer them all over the house when
the Christmas fete is progressing.
and next year she intends to provide
them from her distant home.
The midday meal at the Sega
household will be graced by a plump
Drowned goose stuffed with raisins
and dried apples, with a big dish Of
sizzling country sausage near by. In
her own home the making OF the
Christmas sausage would have en-
gagged Nine. Seya's attention, and that
