Recently ahs wan granted a few waek'a laave of absence and visit d Edinburgh, th famous capital of Bootlami) Edinburgh is really very beautiful, different from any place 1 have ever been. A huge old castle high up on the rooks against the iky line is beautiful. Princes street, the business part has lovely shops all vn one side with formal gardens, monu ments, memorials, etc., on th' opposite side which makes it all very beautiful and unusual. 1 went thru Hollyroo.1 Palace, ttu home of Mary Stewart. Queen of 8cots, who wa beheaded in England. The palace was built in the twelth century, has walls six feet thru and is a marvel in design and architecture. We went thru her bed 'win, dress ing room and privute suppir. room, the walls of which ait ed to have the odor of centuries around it. Up from this is Can ongate where the early settlers lived Now it is a wretched, miserable part of the city and not like the old days. The houses are built adjoining each other, all of soiid stone.

The hills in the surrounding country arei beautiful and more like home than anything 1 have seen. There seems to be lots of sheep here. In fact, don't see many cattle at all. 1 never tasted such beautiful mutton as they uo have here. If this war would only end and we come home.

Chrisimastide THE blasts of winter are fierce and cold, The snow lies deep over hill and wold, But a star shines bright through the deepening gloom Room for the Christ Child, room! Where man's distrust and his greed for gain Have frozen the floods of tender rain Till never a flower of hope can bloom Room for the thrist Child, room! In homes that deepest griefs have borne, 'Mid silent forms of those that mourn, In the shadows that gather around the tomb Room for the Christ Child, room! Where nations are warring, life for life, And a cry rings out from the fear ful strife As a dying people sinks to its doom Room for the Christ Child, room! Room for the shepherds of Bethle hem, Room for the angels who sang to them. Room for the light in the wintry gloom Room for the Christ Child, room! Willis Boyd Alien in Harper's Magazine. irovi'd.
