In volume tho snows of December

of such charm, we need a portion of
the year in which to anticipate Its de
light. This conies to us In the late
winter when the cold has loosened Its
grasp and the danger of destruction
by frot Is past, when the grass
responds to the faU.'ng ruin by taking
on a more vivid green, when the
feathered creation begin preparing
their Hummer home, and the trees
are showing that the life within them
bus withstood tho winter's blast.
