The subject is the 'Nativity' and it is designed for a chancel in a small church." They parted, at the end of the sumptuous supper in the transformed ante-chamber, with a thousand plans for the coming season and a strong sense of enrichment in the friendship of these sincere and attractive neighbors. "Dear old Norn," she thought with a returning glow. "They can't scare her, bless her heart!"
