CHAPTER SIX

ELEANOR PARRISH blinked
the snowflakes from her lashes and
shifted her bundles from one arm
to the other. In the process she
looked at her wrist watch and cal
culated the time before Phil could
reach home. She had two hours.
She stepped down the three stone
steps leading to the foyer of the
house in Blame street gingerly. It
was slippery there, and She had no
rubbers over her only good slippers,
soaked and cold So her feet.
There was a large, battered
package before her door. It was
marked with red strings and
Christmas seals. 1t was, she saw at
once, from Nom and Hanks fam
lily.
She pushed open the door and
dropped her packages on the blan-
ket covered lounge. Then she
dragged in the battered package.
1t was cold in the apartment, but
she didn't light the fire; she was
saving that for when Phil came
home. Logs were too expensive to
burn just to get warm. She hung
up her damp coat and hat and put
on one of Phil's sweaters.
Then, with a feeling of rising ex-
citement, she opened the parcels
containing her purchases. Soon
there was a litter about her; a
square of heavy silver paper, rolls
of bright red and green paper rib
bon, a box of scarlet Christmas
tree balls, small brownish Christ
mas tree, and presents for Phil
from her.
She wrapped them first-the two
white shirts, bought with carefully
boarded pennies saved from the
grocery budget; the black-and-blue
striped crocheted tie he had ad-
mired in Sulka's window; the
laundry bag she had made for him.
And the gadgets-t the harmonica,
the set of rubber typewriter key
pads, a green velvet horse with a
leer on its face, boys top that
sang. Eleanor wrapped them sepa-
rately and wrote little rhymes on
the cards she attached to them.
The last package she opened con-
tanned small pot of silver paint
and a brush. .. She whisked all the
papers and strings into a ball and
put them in the rush basket beside
the hearth where fire was laid.
Then, spreading newspapers be-
meath her, she took the brownish
tree in her lap and opening the pot
of paint, dipped her brush into it.
Soon the little tree was trans
formed into a shining silver thing.
She put it in the center Of the table
on the wide strip Of silver paper, to
let it dry before hanging small
scarlet balls on it.
She went into the kitchenette
and took a meat pie from the ice
box, placing it on top of the small
stove, ready to pop into the oven
when Phil came in.
Red candles in bright tin holders
she grouped around the silver tree.
There were two bright red cotton
crepe napkins folded elegantly IN
their two places and small mounds
of red Christmas tree balls in nests
of holly leaves beside them.
The presents she heaped on the
narrow mantle beneath a wide
wreath. She added the unopened
presents in the box from Pitts
burgh.
She went into the bathroom and
drew a steaming tub. She took her
velvet house gown-the only thing
she had bought for a trousseau-

Christmas Mail.

The usual Christmas warning,
"Shop Early-Mail Early" has been
sent out by the post office depart
ment. This year the post offices of
the country will be closed Sunday,
December "a, and Monday, Decem-
Der Is; thus it will be necessary to
dispatch your Christmas mail extra
early so as to insure delivery on
Friday, December %, rather than to
have it arrive for the final rush on
Saturday, December %. Do you real
ize that there are only 20 shopping
days left until Christmas?
The postal department strongly
urges everyone to mail their Christ
mas greetings first class mail; reg
ular Scent rate instead of on the
12-cent third class rate. Third class
mail will not be forwarded, will not
be returned, must not contain writ
ing, must not be sealed. First class

back of the envelope, then if it can
not be delivered as addressed or for
warding address is unknown, it will
be returned to the writer.
Christmas mail for foreign coun-
tries Except Canada) should be
mailed within the next five days.

Royalty Committee Reports.

To the various Danish organizations
and individuals who worked for and
contributed to the success of the visit
to Minnesota of their Royal High
nesses, the Crown Prince and Crown
Princess of Denmark, the committee
in charge submits the following re-
port:
1.-THE executive committee for the
visit of Crown Prince Frederick and
Crown Princess Ingrid of Denmark,
beg to report that it has concluded
its work and has paid all bills con-
nected with it which were duly au-
thorized by the executive committee.
1.-The treasurer reports that the
total income from the sale of buttons
amounted to 3,433.50 and that the
total expenses incurred amounted to
S2,893.13, leaving an over-balance of
$540.37. The above figures have been
found correct by the auditing COM
mittee which was composed of Olaf
Juhl and Elmer Jensen.
"The executive committee has after
due consideration donated the residue
for the benefit of charity, according
to the proposal made and accepted
at the first meeting of the general
committee and accordingly 500 was
given to the Emanuel Danish Luth-
eran church, S10O to the st. Peder's
Danish Lutheran church and the bal
Old Peoples Home.
"In conclusion of this most sue
cessful affair the executive commit
tee wishes to express its sincere APP
probation for the splendid work and
the hearty cooperation and assistance
shown during Their Royal High
nesses visit which without question
made the visit a very pleasant affair
in every respect"
The report is signed by Martin Mel
son, chairman executive committee;
and c. M. Jorgensen, treasurer.

filled with dirt; thus the general ap-
pearance in that vicinity has been
greatly improved.

to a rapid drop to zero, it becomes
good judgment to give the plants
the protection they will soon need
and will require for the winter.
Really Not Difficult.
To do a first class job of covering
roses is not a difficult matter. All
that is required is some marsh hay
and a few yards of tar paper or the
waterproof type of paper used in
building construction. The exposed
canes are bedded down in generous
layer of hay which is topped by two
sheets of waterproof paper laid
crosswise in two directions, thus sup
plying a roof to shed water and melt
ing snow and to keep the hay dry.
The paper and the hay may be
securely anchored by placing a brick
or a large flat stone on the top of
the whole mass, and, one at each
end of the paper where it comes down
to the ground level Usually, under
this sort of protection the rose will
escape the hardships Of extremely
low temperatures and the canes will
pass the winter safely dormant, I'M
harmed by wind and wet weather.
One loss, occasioned by the sink
ing of the Inflated Athena at the
outbreak of the current European
war, has not been widely reported.
It was the remarkable collection of
flower paintings, representing all the
subjects mentioned in Shakespeare S
works-the work of Winifred Walker,
English flower painter. Miraculously,
Mrs. Walker and her daughter, pas
Sengers on the vessel, were safely
landed in Ireland. They later secured
passage to New York where Mrs.
Walker has started to reproduce her
lost collection which she had intended
to exhibit in this country. She has
for years painted for the Royal Hor-
ticultural Society all plants winning
certificates and awards of merit.
Later this year she plans to travel in
the south and west.
BY the way-it is an interesting
fact that the dahlia was found nearly
400 years ago by Spanish medical
doctor in Mexico. They were even
tually sent to almost all leading
botaniSts in Europe. A Swedish bot
anist named Dahl developed the best
varieties and the plant was named
dahlia in his honor. Nearly 200
years later the flower found its way
back to America in a much improved
and harder form.
