But a_certain cheese is highly esteemed in Belgium—a soft, sharp, highly flavored cheese which is not im- ported to this country except by Bel- gians for their own use and always is an attraction. A mammoth wheel of this arrives in ample time for distribu- tion among Belgians in the diplomatic households and becomes an acceptable of the menu at the Christmas feast.

At the Span- dsh embassy the highly flavored, rich and delectable dishes of Iberia are pre- pared, many of them in chafing dishes since there are no open fires as required by tradition, and gas amd electric Tanges are not fitted for the slow, lin- | gering processes observed. ceen Dr. Francis E. Walker, professor of English in the University of British Columbia at Vancouver, will with proper ceremonies plant two sturdy oaks which were presented to him by the town authorities of Bescovel, a pretty village in the English Midlands adjacent to ‘Worcester. Dr. Walker is the descendant of a long-ago heroine of Bescovel, Eliza- beth Pendrell Yates, who hid the young man, afterward known as Charles II, in a great oak near the family home. He and his gallant adherents had lost the battle of Worcester and the soldiers of Cromwell were searching the coun- tryside for Charles when his benefac- tress conceived the idea that he would be safer in the tree than anywhere else, age marks this branch of the Roose- velts from that to which the late Presi- dent, Theodore, belonged.

Although Mrs. Franklin ok King George of Britain possessed a | deep love for the royal mansion at | sandringham and he had planned a lengthy sojourn there, this early Winter as soon as he had accomplished certamn routine duties. Sandringham was pur- chased for Edward VII in 1861 when he was Prince of Wales, and his Danish wife Alexandra loved it because the same North Sea which washed the coast of Norfolk broke on the shores of her native land. The owner was the Hon. Spencer Cowper and the price paid for the picturesque castle and ex- tensive grounds was 200,000 *pounds sterling or a million dollars in American money. When Queen Alexandra died the property came to King George and he had the old castle moZernized and supplied with every convenience. In a vast wing of the main structure, King George had placed a museum contain- from the time, as a mere lad, he began to handle a sail boat, all through his career to the cup won last Summnier at Cowes.
