amber used In the world.
Amber in Idthuania ia presumed
to hold magic powers to ward Oft

good luck stone par excellence
in all Of NartherR Europe. Every
bride has her bit Of amber, every
newborn child receives q piece.
and its presence in many forms
in every household. even the

potency attached to it. The carv-
ing of amber is among the folk
trades eff the Baltic countries and
in Iithuania has become a fine
art. Clear amber is more popular
than the cIouded, which is SO
often seen here, and which was
known for centuries in pipe-stems
and umbrella handles before the
present vogue Of stringing II into
necklaces and girdles. A wealth

Ut was summer time and we

was a beautiful country, and we
particularly enjoyed the fine
fishing.
Every day Bunny, Bobby. and
went out in q rowboat near the
shore and in the evening we came
home with the boat laden with
fine fish. It was great sport.
But one day we came home with
out a single fish Yet we wers
lucky to come home at all. And
