fairy forest Of snow-coyered trees,
where every branch and twig and
leaf glistencd with diamonds, as
they did that night, missed a
thrill that seldom comes to the
heart after youth has passed, In
the early afternoon the writer had
gathered a bouquet of primroses
from her garden and carried it to
her hostess. When she returned
from the dinner, the plants so full
of bloom a few hours before, were
buried beneath a foot of snow.
The next night water pipes that
were unprotected froze and burst.
Then came the silver thaw and
now in less than two weeks our
winter is past. We are working
in our gardens and again we can
gather primroses in full bloom,
and Mrs. Newman's lawn is gay
with yellow, white and purple Gro
Gus.

poued because of the snow storm,
but blossomed out in fall bloom,

rooms were brilliantly illuminated
and most beautifully and elabor-
Iately decorated with hearts ga

the cornices to the chadeliers and
hung from every conceivable
place. The dining table was
stretched its full length, tastefully
decorated and sumptuous dinner
was served TO all. Ellisport cooks
were pronounced the best ever
and the ladies who served the din,
ner We're the sweetest in the

TOXIC, August 25.--Japan objects
strenuously to the recently announced
plan of the foreign diplomatic corps at
Peking. said to have been sponsored
by the British legation. for the control
Of the Chinese railways by one foreign
and one Chinese director.
The Japanese foreign office will pro-
pose 10 the Peking diplomatic corps a
modification of the plan. suggesting
that there should be a single Chinese
director of the railways with foreign
inspectors empowered to see that
guards are paid from the revenues OF
the railways.
The Toxic newspapers. with the eN-
ception of the Jill, are vehemently OPP
posing what they term the British pro-
posal on the ground that 1t is merely
a stepping stone to international con-
troll of China. They state that this
would be most unpopular in Japan. be-
sides being contrary to the Washington
agreement.
REORGANIZATION of Chinese railway
operation was proposed by the PekinG
dipiumatic corps as result OF the
Suchow bandit outrage, in which a
number OF foreigners we're kidnapped
