Terry, who with her black hair and dark tan

was sweet of you. But Tommy doesn't have to have

little after nine, but both of them were yawning
They stepped into TOmmy's room, on their way to

Tommy was not there.
Terry felt her very life drop inside her like

But, though they turned ON every light, woke
Marie-Therese, looked in every closet and every

the big refrigerator, the child was nowhere in the
house. Nor was he in the garden, which they
combed bush by bush.

Grim, pale, he ran across the square, almost
tripping over one of the wandering goats, to the
house of Monsieur Albert, the manager, who was
deep in a chess game with his nextdoor neighbor,

Todd and Terry had their own meal on the tile
terrace behind the house, with candles in hurricane
chimneys on the table. Everyone ate dinner during
the threehour break at midday, so this was light
supper = an omelet, leaflettuce salad, assorted
French cheeses for dessert and tiny cup of home
grown, home-roasted coffee. Marie Therese, big and
lght-hearted and the color of honey, served them
silently on bare feet. She, too, was dressed for
Christmas Eve in green-and-violet madras, her full
skirt pinned up at one side to show rufled white
petticoats. From the garden drifted the scents of
frangipani and night-bloOming jasmine.

Tommy was asleep before jolly Saint Nick
wished everybody Merry Christmas. Todd carried
him to his room, Terry got him into his light

are allowed.
We camped at Swallow
Falls. They have 1913 camp
sites. Even though. you can
see your neighbor there is
a definite feeling Of seclu-
sion. There are three bath
houses with hot water
showers and outside tubs for
laundering. The only draw
back is that it's cold at night
and rnorning-and damp.
Rain comes UP fast and
quite frequently. But it's
beautiful-no bugs-and you
can bring your pet along.
Here is located beautiful
Muddy Greek Falls and from
there a wonderful hike along
the creek to Swallow Falls
where you can wade and
swim among the high rocks
and falls. The water is cold,
but our children loved It.
