st 8--THE PORT PERRY STAR, THUR DS oy RCH SRR SDAY, OCTOBER 22nd, 19569 She sat like a Duchess in the seat of the lower berth opposite mine. Her Nova Scotia amethyst gleaming on her expansive bosom and in the lobes of her ears, matched the chiffon scarf at her neck and the gloves she had laid laid beside the shoe box on the oppo- site seat. On her tight graying curls was a little white hat perched plumb on the top of her head. She watched anxiously from the window and as the conductor called "All Aboard" turned to me with a worried frown and said, I wonder where my bags are, lass ?" She informed me than her daughter had comfortingly said, "Now on the train and your journey to Niagara Falls will be over before you know it." The plot thickened. Evidently 1 was to play the part of the "nice lady" and mamma was to while away the hours with a volley of family history that would stump a biographer, before nightfall and blessed sleep shut her up. Mamma had travelled only once be-' fore in her sixty-odd years. That was when father brought her out from England as a bride to settle on the craggy coast of eastern Canada. She had borne him five Canadian sons and one ditto daughter and now she was on her way to visit the sons, all settled in a ten mile radius of the scenic splendous of the Falls. It was quite evident that daughter had not travelled too much either, for she had checked mamma's train case together with her suit case and mam- ma, being several sizes larger than I, was stranded without night attire or) even a tooth brush, How could I help her?

He made | up her berth and advise her to retire and get a good night's rest, because the train arrived in Montreal very | early in the morning. I had to 0 form her that I was stopping over in Montreal and could not keep her com- pany as far as Toronto, where she ex- pected son No. 4 to meet her, but that I would be right there next to her if she needed me during the night. That was a mistake. About every hour on the hour she would lean out of her berth, give my curtain a twitch and whisper in a tone that would is it now?" I wished I were the lion that swallowed Little Albert and that I could devour this Lancashire natice. Only in this way would it have been possible to control mamma. In the morning it was-my turn to panic. Mamma's berth was empty. I looked in the washroom, no mamma. chicklet when she said her main worry was how she was going to make her uppers stick, I refrained and only watched carefully that I was not the target for a set of dentures when' mamma got too vociferous.
