On these wintry days,-' if the hands

keep them from getting hard and red.

and sle thus relates one of th* things
sh.j observed during her stay:
"Luutng the season Irish gifts leave
thVir thickens and caws and come to

pcaTiod creatures, green as the country
gi'tws. with pink and cream complex

aginable. 1 couldn't account for thorn,
Wause they were frequently misshap
en and disfigured by ugly, often claw
liko nails. The texture wa? superb,
and made- up ray mind to get at the
go-net. Here it is: In every' farmyard
there are two bins, one containing bran
for the cattle and the other oatmeal for
the chickens. When the girls go to,
milk they wash their hands at the
pump and dry tnem in the chicken
feed. The seit Is superb bands
smooth, soft and white. When I left
th- village 1 took away as muoh Itisn
