nna's Christmas - Sichuan Province, 1922:

Christmas Day. Yen Ching Kao.

Woke at eight o'clock to find the same dull sky as in the three previous daysAfter an excellent breakfast of tangerines, oatmeal, scrambled eggs and baco

pancakes with syrup and coffee, I finished making wreaths commenced

yesterday. "Buckshot" made the frame-work for three out of split bamboo. T

ranches of an evergreen tree resembling a fine arbor-vitae made the body of

wreath. A thorny shrub furnished suitable scarlet berries for the same. A ta

plume-like grass, bound to some of the pillars, helped to give our open-air

balcony a festive appearance. Jars of ferns and red berries completed thedecorations. Our dinner was lacking in nothing for perfect satisfaction, the

menu being as follows (Mrs. Darlington presented the plum pudding):

Tomato Bisque Soup

Creamed Salmon

Mashed Potato
