world scenes encountered on the
trip.
A card from Rothenburg, under
date of November 4, says, “this is
the city time forgot,” a lovely spot
where we are enjoying a few days
stay in spite of the constant rain.”
At Budapest among other places
of interest seen was the Agricultur
al Museum which housed among oth
er things a wonderful collection of
apples, more than 100 varieties
being grown in Hungary. There are
also many other kinds of non-citrus
fruits.
The Danube river flows right be
tween the two cities, Buda and Pest,
and is rather effective from a scenic
viewpoint.
From Budapest they went on to
Prague, thence to Bresden, Leipzig
and Berlin. Dresden, she wrote, “is a
lovely old town on the river Elbe the
world seems filled with interesting
places.”
,Vienna-“We went to the Opera
last night and saw “The Flying
Dutchman.” It was lovely, and to
me a real treat. The Viennese opera
is world famous.”
From Berlin she wrote, “We en
countered real cold weather here.
“We could stay on and on but we
feel that a stroll of Unter der Lin
den and a peep thru some of the
museums, was about all the time we
could spare just now.” “We go from
here to Potsdam, thence to Cologne
and on to Brussqjs.” “I judge that
the unemployment situation is world
wide. They seem to have been
some sort of demonstration
here, (Brussels) as policemen were
about eight deep all around the
Reichstag and we had no desire to
go near the place.”
While at Potsdam they went out
to SanSouci, the place that Fred
erick the Great built, thence to
Madgeburg and saw the church
wher^ Martin Luther preached in
1543.
From Madgeburg they traveled
to Hanover, which is famous for its
architecture, on to Cologne and to

jJIIERE was Christmas music
everywhere. The pines were
I singing softly to themselves.
It seemed as though they
sang great long notes filled
with melody.
Blue, curling smoke could
taWnrS be seen from the chimneys
of houses, and great ol<l
trunks of trees made crackling sounds.
It was a world of white and dark
patches, of lights and shades and ol
the sounds of the wind and the- ice
coated trees.
It seemed like a background of mu
sic to Frances and Floyd as they
walked up beyond the town to thi
woods to gather Christmas greens.
They wanted a great many greens.
The house expected them. Every pic
ture wanted its spray of green behind
it, every window wanted its wreath,
and the house wanted its big tree, and
Its little one for the center of the
dining room table.
“You’re coming to Christmas din
ner, you know,” Frances told Floyd.
“Yes, your mother did ask me. It
was so good of her. Os course it will
be my first Christmas away from
home, but we never celebrated Christ
inns much at our house. Not the way
you seem to do.
“Why I never knew people to cele
brate Christmas as you do —and there
are no young children in your house.'
“We’ve always done it that way,”
Frances answered. “Mother always
has Christmas celebrated as though
every one of us was a child.
“Maybe it’s what keeps us feeling
so young and merry all the time

“You’re Sure It’s Not Just the Family
You Love?”
We're such a family for games and
fun —all by ourselves, too.’’
What a beautiful walk they had,
and how Floyd did enjoy helping
them decorate later on.
Since his business had called him
here and since he had seen so much
of Frances he had never felt happier.
At first! as he went inside with the
Christmas greens, he felt a bit of a
stranger.
Their voices were all louder than (
usual. They were calling directions to
each other. They were laughing over
the things they were doing.
They were so enormously busy over
such details. They took as much time
wrapping up a paper of pins for one
of the members of the family as they
would have done had it been a rare
necklace.
And about every little detail they
took the same care.
The Christmas decorations were
finished. The wreaths were up in the
windows. Every picture had Its spray
of green behind it, and they were all
talking of how It would look on
Christmas day.
Floyd was sure they would all act
as though it were a great surprise to
them. That was how they entered
• into the spirit of their Christmas.
“Come very early in the morning,”
Frances' mother was saying to Floyd.
“Then you'll be here in time to heip
open the presents and empty the
stockings."
Floyd accepted gayly. It was really
his first Christmas like this. And in
