These are the fruiting sori. There

Christmas Ferns.

The only reason for the name
Christmas fern is its availability at
the holiday season. It also is known
as the dagger or sword fern. Most
of the fronds selected are the male
ferns. The female fronds are
brown-tipped with sporecases and
not so appealing to the collector.
You win find these ferns on
shaded woodlands at the base of
trees shedding countless leaves In
autumn. These form o protecting
coverlet through the winter and
rich food later on. You rarely
flnd this fern on slopes facing the
sunshine, but In cool shade.
The Christmas fern does not
mind being transplanted. Indoors
or out 1t will settle down to the new
environment and grow. During its
growing season. the Christmas fern
displays its rachis, or midrib, more
or less covered with ragged, brown
ish scales which tend to give it an
unkempt appearance. The pinnae
or leaflets are very pretty, being q
dark shining green. The margin
Of the leafiet Is delicately toothed
with . minute spine at each point,
and the veins are straight and free.

Historic Portrait
Sought in England
BY the Assoeia,sd Pres.

COOKHAM, England, Dec. 13.-
There has been a lot Of portrait
studying and attic and basement
searching in this small Berkshire
town to try and turn up a painting
|of Mary Washington, mother Of
Americas first President.
John d. Butzner Of Fredericks-
burg, Va, recently wrote Cookham
Officials asking for the Mary
Washington portrait, which Is
supposed to be the only one ever
painted. He wants It for the Mary
Washington Hospital in Freder-
icksburg.
Mary and her husband, Angus
tine. visited Cookham during their
honeymoon over 200 years ago.
Mr.. Butzner's only clue that the
portrait exists in Cookham comes
from an address by Senator John
wv. Daniel in 1891 at the unveiling
|of Mary Washington ton.monument.
When Mr.. Butzner's request ar
rived, the Maidenhead Town Hall
star took up the search. A faded
portrait turned up but 1t wasn't
the likeness Of Mary Washington.

CHAPTER x.

Prince Jonathan cleared the
dirt from the hard object he had
struck. It was a great sea chest
with a brass lock.
"Hooray!" shouted the delighted
brownies.
"Heave ho!" shouted fat Horace.
Fifteen elves yanked and pulled
to lift the chest. It would not
bulge. The Prince could wait no
longer to see what was in the box.
Stand back!" he ordered. Then
he raised his ak high and brought
1t crashing down on the brass
lock. Three times he did this.
The third time the lock snapped,
the top few open and a kings
ransom burst from the chest.
Diamonds and rubies. sapphires
and emeralds were there. Silver
plate and silver vases. Ivory
bowls and ivory combs. And gold!
Gold jewelry, gold bars and gold
coins.
For q long moment every one
stared at this vast treasure. Then
Prince Jonathan whispered, my
father is saved!"
Santa said, There Is enough
gold and treasure to pay your
fathers debt and enrich your
kingdom forever"
II shall want only 10000 pieces
Of gold" protested the Prince.
''The rest goes to you and Santa
Land"
Santa shook his heda. 1--WE are
toymakers. We have no need for
gold and diamonds in Santa Land.
It is all yours"
They Dug Piles of Treasure.
Then Santa said, Make haste,
now, and load it on the ship"
The brownies dug piles of treas
ure from the great sea chest.

three rings on each finger, a dozen
bracelets on each arm, q rope
Of pearls around his neck and a

other pulling the heavy anchor
aboard.
"Pile on SAIL" ordered Santa.
The brownies piled on all the

they pulled away from the island
than there was q tremendous
