The approach of the holiday season
makes visions of sugar plums dance in
more than children's heads, and brings
up thoughts of sugar n spice and
everything nice" Mince pies, plum pud-
ding. fruit cake-did you ever stop to
think of all the parts of the earth that
help in making these possible?
Take the spice, for instance. that
goes into all of them, and without
which they would be quite lacking in
flavor we use cinnamon and cloves
and nutmeg taking them for granted.
But there was time, and not so long
ago, when they we're worth consider
ably more than their weight in gold,
and when the addition OF even small
amount of them to food made an ad-
venture in eating.
Raisins, currants, figs, dates, nuts,
citron. candied lemon and orange peel,
as well as the spices, come from all
parts of the world.
Cinnamon is the inner bark OF a
tree that is grown extensively through
out the East Indies and other troplcal
countries.
Cloves are the dried flower buds OF
an evergreen tree that is grown IN the
East Indies, the West Indies, In parts
of Africa and in Brazil.
Nutmegs come from Madagascar and
the East and West Indies. They are
the nuts of a tree somewhat IKE tne
orange tree that grows about 80 1eet
high. The outer covering OF the nut
megs is carefully removed and the nuts
are dried so that the kernel, Wnich Is

their being attacked by insects. Mace
is the outer coating of the nutmeg.

lea. 1t is the berry or fruit Of an
evergreen tree.
Citron we get mostly from California,
though much is imported from the
countries bordering the Mediterranean.
The rind only of the fruit is used. and
we know 1t in the candied or preserved
form. We have also here in America
the citron melon, which is sometimes
used to make preserves or confections,
but which should not be confused with
the citron that we use for making our
mincemeat, plum, puddings and fruit
cake.
California raisins are rapidly taking
the place of the imported ones which
we used to get from Spain and sonia
of the Mediterranean countries
Dates come from Arabia. Northern
Africa, from the Imperial Valley in our
own California; figs also come from
California, from Smyrna, from Italy,
Spain and Greece.
Currants come from California and

never neglect her home making. 1t wa:
part of her religion. She washed ane

swept for Richard as earnestly as ever
Rut the moment her housework was
finished she flew to her plane.
Miss Watkins was amazed She nae

the heart to put in long, tedious hours
! over scales and exercises. In montr
she had mastered the amount OF WORK
usually done by beginners in three. Al
first Miss Watkins was amused at nei
earnestness, then she took fire from II
and worked with Yvonne as she mac
never worked before with beginning
student.
Soon Yvonne was having two lessons
a week. Miss Watkins found nerSen
fascinated by Yvonne's beauty ana SIM
plicity of manner. The girl seemed 10,
tally unconscious of her lovely 1ace ano
voice. At first she was shy about talk
ing of herself. but little by little, as
her confidence in her teacher grew, she
revealed her simple story, and MISS
Watkins added to her admiration OF
Yvonne a deep feeling of pity. :.
To her Yvonne was lovely blrd
shut in a cage of ignorance and lntol-
erance. She saw Yvonne as victim
and once her sympathies were fuily
aroused she determined to set Yvonne
free. She knew the process would take
time, and she felt the need OF a helper.
1t was to this end that one day when
she came to give Yvonne a lesson she
brought her friend and patron, Mrs.
Edith Ogden, with her.
Mrs. ogden was a wealthy woman,
fond of the arts, who had Wearied of
society. She found nothing so inter-
esting as the discovery of new talent
and its development. Yvonne's story
as told by Miss Watkins had excited
her curiosity and she had decloeo 10
come and find out for herself.
Yvonne Shrank back little when she
saw the stranger standing with Miss
Watkins. :.
This is my dear friend, Mrs. Ogden.
Miss Watkins said, taking Yvonne' S
hand. ..She was calling on me when /
was ready to leave for your lesson and
I brought her along in the hope you
would give us both some OF your deli
cious cakes and tea
But certainly" said Yvonne, relieved,
sit will be pleasure 70 do anything
for your friend, mademoiselle."
Mrs. Ogden tactfully settled herself
with a magazine in far corner of the
room while Miss Watkins gave the les
son. At first Yvonne was embarrassed, d.,
conscious of strange presence, but
gradually that feeling passed and she
went through with her work with her
usual enthusiasm.
The lesson finished, she harried about
preparing tea for three. Mrs. Ogden's
French was far better than Miss Wat
kins'. Soon Yvonne found Lerself chat
ting happily of Normandy, telling the
village news drolly and commenting on
the changes in her old life and the
