The lut of our harvest home came this afternoon when the three loads of grain that had re- mained in a field at the close of I My Which had ended in rain were fetched to the barns to the threshing and storing. "Well, lil- 1en" James said this evening when week's work at an end he came in to his own tidying-up “for Sun- day." "At last the harvest and threshing is finished. It's a great way of doing fir-the hauling from the field and the threshing to- gether, settling the two jobs at once. Then a fellow's done of it all." He settled down first for a smoke in his old armchair, a mite lonely, I suspected now that Jamie liad gone home with Rob for the week end. He continued "Why, long ago, and not so long ago either, when we had saved the harvest to the barn that was only the easy part of it--the threshing was still to come. And one had to thrash at so many barns, in order to get enough hands back. It was a tiresome work at best. With the blower to take the straw to the loft, the work is not nearly

so hard-and the lessened number

it now takes to do the threshing makes it easier on the cooks too." a e e

It does indeed. Except for the sound of the machine, which we caught only in a vague pulsing while indoors. one could scarcely be sure that the harvest home was in progress. “I suppose." I said, laughing to cover my regret "I'll never ride on the top of a load of sheaves again, or carry another

ill (I COODWILI; I'll)! TI IOYAL FAMILY G0 T0 MANY PIOPLI OIR-IITHAS. AND PREPARING THIS l-OYAL YULETIDE MAIL l8 A LONG AND COMPLICAT- lD JOB.

Christmas for the British Royal Family began in midsummer! That was the time when arrangements were made for this year's royal Christmas cards.

The King and Queen, and the two Princesses, each have special ones printed, and altogether sev- eral hundred are despatched from Buckingham Palace each Yuletide.

The cards go not only to close relatives but also members of the British Cabinet, to certain offic- ials both in Britain and overseas, and to most retired members of the royal household staff.

Queen Mary, too, specially re- members retired servants and former members of her retinue at this season, and most of them re- ceive royal greetings for Christmas. Her Majesty was largely respon- sible fm- developing this pleasant royal custom, and her special cards are treasured not only because they are royal souvenirs, but also because they are invariably fine examples of the printer's art.

Colourful garden scenes are her favourite, and from time to time noted artists have been commis- sioned to paint views of the royal gardens for use on Her Majesty's Christmas cards. Queen Elizabeth, too, favours flower subjects for this purpose, and rarely chooses snow scenes of the more tradition- al kind.

On the other hand. Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret like more orthodox designs. Their cards ll\l3lly show snowy land- scapes. decorated with holly and mistletoe. On occasion. the royal daughters have even painikd their own cards for very intimate friends.

The Kings choice reflects his in- tcrest in the sea, naval scenes and other seascapes most often being used as the basis for his Yuletide greetings.

The reproduction rights of paint- ings by leading artists have some- times been bought by His Majes- ty simply so that the pictures might form the covers of his Christmas cards. It is an inviol- able rule that the designs used for all the cards sent out by mem- bers of the Royal Family shall be exclusive to them. Every recipient receives a card which is not du- plicated from any other source.

Drawing up the list of names is

no euy task. First are listed the members af the Royal Family and their close friends. Officials ,0! the King's household, under the guid- ance of the lord Chamberlain, aug- gests further names-retired ser- vants, former ladies-in-waitlng, politicians, and persons whom the King and Queen have met at of- ficial events during the year.

Mayors of towns to which King has paid an official during ~the preceding twelve months are usually included. So also are hosts and hostesses who have entertained Their Majestles at such times.

Royal tours, such as the one to South Africa early this year, help to swell the list of recipients of royal greetings. Other cards go to ambassadors and the heads of foreign States. President Truman will receive one, as well as each Dominion Prime Minister.

The royal Christmas cards, how- ever, are intended to be personal expressions of royal goodwill. They are really private cards in the strictest sense. Government depart- ments, such as the Foreign Office, send more formal cards to the heads of their opposite depart- ments overseas, and it is not in- tended that the greeting sent by the Kins Bhflll take the place of these.

This year. the list of names for the Royal Familys cards will be even longer than usual, as a result of the wedding of Princess lilliza- beth. Her Royal Highness and her husband will send good wishes to guests who attended the ceremony. The exact number of such guests was undecided when the order for the Christmas cards was given, but an extra quantity were printed to mcet this requirement.

Special arrangements are also necessary to ensure that the sev- eral hundreds of cards will reach their destinations at about the same time-a week or so before Christmas. This entails very care- ful planning by the Buckingham Palace postal staff.

Cards for overseas are several weeks ahead" but their despatcii is to be timed that, no matter what their destination, they will be delivered about seven days before Yuletide. Greetings to ad- dresses in the United Kingdom are held back until nearer Christmas.

But wherever they go, the royal cards are invariably treasured. Few are regarded as subjects to the custom which ordains the de- struction of such things on Twelfth Night. In many instances, they are carefully preserved, and are handed down from generation to generation.

tainly honeymoon at home in nig- land. It is a strict secret which of many country homes offered they will accept. Their original nten- tion was to spend part of their honeymoon at the Marchioness of Milford Raven's house La Coustal- ado hidden in shrubbery above Cannes. The Marchloness is Lieut. Mountbattenb aunt. Currency reg- ulations have prevented that.

King liukon of Norway invited the young couple to honeymoon in his country and though this might be possible. as it is permissible to go abroad if one stays with friends, the Princess and her fi- ancee felt it would be wrong to ac- cept when everyone else is obligat- ed to stay at home.

One trip being planned or rath- er considered is a short visit to Australia and New Zealand early in the New Year. This rumoured tour has gained credence as one 0f the senior members of the King's Flight made a flying visit to that Dominion recently.
