Yuletide in Her “Jokes” BY RILLA PAGE PALMBORG. CHAPTER XX. Two cays before Christmas Greta Garbo decided she wanted a real Swedish Yuletide in_her home. “I want my friends in for Christmas Eve,” she said. “I want them again for Christmas dinner. We will get a big Christmas tree and armfuls of flowers and holly.” Garbo imited Jacques Feyder, Nils Asther and Wilhelm Sorensen for sup- per on Christmas eve. She invited Mr. and Mrs. John er, Sorensen and yder for Christmas day. Mrs. Feyder was in Europe. Garbo wanted to buy the decorations for the tree herself. She telephoned Mrs. Loder and her busband to joi | Sorensen and herself in Hollywood to | do s>me shopping. She drove off in Sorensen’s roadster. “The first place we went was a five- and-ten-cent store,” sald Loder. “Greta selected a pile of Christmas tree deco- rations. Then she said she wanted to buy some jokes. She bought a little silk braissiere, a pair of lady's garters for her business manager and an as- sortment of boys’' neckties for Feyder. She had on a big gray coat. Her felt hat was pulled down over her face, but she had taken off her dark glasses. She was laughing and having a gay time when a plain little woman pushed up to her, laid her hand on her arm, and said: ‘Miss Garbo, I think you are wonderful.” Wanted to Decorate Tree. “All the laughter went out of Garbo. She seemed to freeze. Turning to me, she said in German: ‘What does this good woman want of me?’ She added quickly in an undertone: ‘Let’s get out of here.’ “She strode through the store out to the street, the woman looking after her in amazement.” Garbo wanted to decorate the Christ- mas tree. Gustaf Norin had woven the long cord of colored electric lights through the branches of the tree. Garbo added big red glass balls, long strings of “rain” and bits of cotton “snow.” Sigrid Norin lent Garbo one of her tablecloths, such as they use in Sweden by glving ary gular FEEDING on Plantabbs. let_on care of bouse plants with every purchase of Plantabbe. et winter's supoly (Inexpemsive) from Fiorists, Seed Dealers, Groenhouses, Drug and Lardware Stores.
