Christmas Shopping 1 Christmas on A Canalboat “Hpw are we .going to spend Christ­ masV exclaimed the good natured Mrs. Captain Boggs, cremingly a bit sur­ prised at the question, for canalboat folk are sensitive of any criticism aim­ ed in their direction, “Why, we’re going to spend the day just like other folk. Some think be­ cause we live on canalboats we don’t have any comforts and eat like sav­ ages. My, but I’d a heap sight rather live down here than iu a flat, like my niece’s. She’s got sis rooms, and they don’t begin to be as big as mine, “If you think there ain’t room just loo: here,” and Mrs. Boggs displayed the secrets of xi suit of rooms, the in­ genuity of the* arrangement rivaling the den of the New York bachelor girl. Out of the main cabin, which served as living and dining room combined, two alcoves jutted, besides an tnfluitesimal corner dubbed, the kitchen, but which was even tinier than the modern-apart­ ment house;k!tctieixette. While under ordinary circumstances the kitchen was part of the cabin proper, two doors at right angles to each other eoujjij be drawn out, which, ■meeting, form* a room Uy Itself. A shiny cotil stove or range quite filled the compartmrat. leaving just room beforejt in which to work, while above it every inch of wall space was utilised with pots and kettles and kitchen uten­ sils of every sort. A low cupboard opening into tlie hold contained more articles of kitchen use, as well a s vegetables and canned goods. Bunks were Ui-q lajcd in the two other alcoves, whh h v.ere, iu open view of the cabin. But from the re­ cesses of the boat Mrs. Boggs pulled out a sliding door, which completely divided the space into two rooms, ami when curtains were druivn into the cabin the oecupahhs enjoyed all the privacy desired, r A big divan could be opened up at night into a roomy double bed, and an­ other bunk, "just under the eaves, vyas sufficiently large to tuck two small youngsters away. Chests of, drawers built in, wardrobes and cup­ boards In out of the way places sup plied room for bedding, clothing and the boots and Bhoos of a family of children. ' One of the biggest surprises In the boat, one which conveyed a hint that might bo applied In small*houses where room is a t a premium, was the pre­ served fruit lockers. "We all do J b >our own frtiit,”*went on Mrs, Boggs. "You see, while wo go up the canal we are in the country most of the time, add It is much cheaper to put up our owd fruit than " 1T 1 A HEAP OtOHT EATHEH MVE DOWS HEiia" buy it In winter; and this is where we store it." Going to the stairs up tbo companion way. she pulled out tiny drawers Small knobs jutted out from the face of each step with which to open tbo drawers, while within there was quite room enow .t to allow pint fruit jars to stand t prlght, A cole’ storage room was tucked Uway in tlie bold, into which a small door about two feet Iu height opened. The dining table was a folding affair which turned Up against the wall of the cabin when not In use. When some surprise was expressed at (he presence of a sewing machine in the room Mrs. Boggs said: "Oh, that’s nothing! Many of the boats have organs as well, and there is one fitted up with a porcelain bathtub. So. you see, we have some of the luxuries of city houses and plenty of good all* and sunshine. A concert is to be given on one of tbo boats here New Year's eve, and if you should like to come down we’d bo glad to have you and show you a bit of canalboat hos­ pitality," A Christmas Game. The "chest" may be arranged In any way that will hide one of the players The game is based on the old poem, "Mistletoe Bough:". Tho miotletOO hung' In tho castle hall. The holly branch nhoiso’ on tho old oak wall. Tho barOn’n retainers wore blltho and 'g&y A-fccepitig tho Christmas holiday. The "retainers" all form a ring about tlie "lover," who is blindfolded, The retainers sibg: Bora wo aro to blltha ami gay,' Neaping our Christmas holiday. One will hide in tno cheat hereby. To guess who It la you must surely try. With that one of tho “retaiuera" runs and hides In the Improvised chest. The "lover" is led fo it, and be may ask questions of tlie hidden one, who may reply by "Yea” or "No," disguis­ ing the voice. By these answers tlie “lover" must tell who the retainer Is. If he fails he must try again. When he succeeds, the hidden person becomes the lover. ___________ , I, vA l PWBOL y ? o o t ^ lYNolce orWater touches \ \SEM.SBVPT OYSTERS', ,\NoOtettiicalPreservative^ \ Natural YVavor.YresV.tiwvV/i'/C/iTl/ \ b qua-Wly // A/ft.
