Still, the farmers looked real enough and the barmaid wished us a pleasant, "Good day," Could she, we asked timidly, give us some lunch, Yes, she could, and soon produced won- derful, thick ham-salad bun- wi ches, In a few minutes we were all friends and what fun we had chatting with those marvellous, friendly, jolly folk and listening to the squire, blustering and with good humor, tell stories of his trip to 'America' several years ago. We hated to leave but we had committed ., ourselves to seeing St. Albans. Before we could get our pence counted to pay for our lunch the squire had plunked the money down on the bar saying, "It will give me the greatest of pleasure!" How do you beat warm-hearted hospitality like that'? They marked out the route to St, Albans and we were on our way. Coleman's HEAD CHEESE by the piece 45c lb. sliced lb.

My eyes were upward on the intricate carving of the alter screen when they were pulled down by a movement in front of me. Hardly able to believe my eyes, there sat one of the hugest, orange cats I have ever seen, boldly and leisurely, taking his bath on one of the lovely seats. As I watched him go through his spit and polish routine, oblivious to the splendid setting, a young man approached. "His name's Orlando," he smiled. "Like to hear his story?" Of course. "I picked him off the church steps one night more dead than alive with his back leg smashed and with many deep cuts and gashes. I took him to a veterinary who cleaned him up, splinted his leg and sewed up -his cuts." He went on to say the vet's bill amounted to 10 pounds (about $25.00) which the young man didn't have, However, being assistant choir leader, he showed the cat to the choir boys who immediately took up the cause and in short order had raised the fee by doing odd- jobs. They made him their mascot and christened him 'Orlando', Eventually his wounds healed and there he lives today like a king on a throne, "Oh, he pays his way," the young man said. "He saves us about forty pence a week by killing the mice who used to chew up all our candles." And that's the story of getting way-laid in a pub on our way to a church and of how we met Orlando. It could only happen in England. Christmas cookies - It's almost time to start making them. Ever start out for church and land up in a pub? No? Well, I have, and I recommend. it. Don't get me wrong, now. I recommend it under certain circumstances, One day, in England, we started for St. Albans to see the famous abbey there. Somehow or other (it was really easy) we Made the wrong turn and became lost. However, since the road we took seemed to be taking us into interesting country we continued on to see where it led. It followed an old canal through excellent agricultural country and we were surprised to come upon a windmill with its fans turning lazily in the breeze. Apparently, there were a lot of these old windmills in England at one time and a few can still be seen in certain parts of the country, many of which have been converted into dwellings, Interesting, too, is the fact that the government is considering opening up the old canals along which barges used to transport coal and other produce. It is thought they could once again be used for this purpose and alleviate much of the heavy transportation on the over-loaded highways. But to get back to our drive . , this road we were on just kept wending its way on and on until, about noon, we came to a country pub called 'The White Bull'. Since we wanted to get into a pub anyway this seemed the logical time. The old black door was so low my husband had to stoop to enter. Have you ever gone somewhere and been overcome with the strange. eerie feeling you've been there before long ago, just beyond your memory? Yet, you know you never have, really, That's how I felt that day. Everything looked familiar . the low, black beamed ceiling hung with mugs and tankards; the rows of shining bottles; the gleaming brass and copper pots; the ancient swords and long guns mounted on the walls; the snowy- white curtains and red fringed overdrapes at the windows.

Tall, with a certain ex-martial appearance, he looked just like an English country squire should look. And then I knew what had happened. We'd walked into a movie set and this scene before us wasn't real at all. It was a setting some one had dreamed up and built there, perfect in TURKEYS Oven Ready 5-9 lb.
