Last week, is you ,remember, 1
was wishing we .could have just a
little more snow. We got it all
right . , but i: wasn't "just a
little." Now the lane has filled in
to much for me to attempt taking
the car out—although I noticed a
picture M. the paper the other day
Showing a little English car like
ours making its way gaily through
deep snow while bigger cars were
getting stuck. Just for fun 1
would like to see what our car
would do, In fact, I would try it
if it were not for giving Partner
the trouble of hauling me out, sup-
posing I got stuck.
Right now I am working with
one ear cocked for a telephone
earl as we are expecting visitors
this week-end—and frankly, I am
little worried. Trying to heat the
house against high. winds and zero
temperature is hard enough when
wa, are alone but to have visitors
and not be able to keep them warm
and comfortable is a headache. For
one thing people altvays feel the
cod more away from home, as
they are naturally lese active with
co ordinary eveey-day chores to do.
Well, for goodness sakes, it isn't
a telephone call I am getting at all,
but our visitors themselves. At

What struck us as all so very

kindness of our friends and neigh-

are inclined to think• that in this

And we are very deeply touched
and appreciative. It is something
we shall alw-ays remember, To

a lot,—to know that Jessie's last

If you have a tale to tell.
Boil it down!
Write it out and write it well,
Being careful how you spell;
Send the kernel, keep the shell;
Boil it down!

Boil it down!
If you want to share our fun,
Know just bow a paper's run,
Day by day front sun to stun

When there's not a word to spare
Boil it ,dowii!
Heave a sigh and lift a prayer,
Stamp your foot and tear your hair,
Then begin again with care—
Boil it down!
When, all done, you send it in,
AVe'll boil it down.
Where you end there we begin;
This is our besetting sin;
With a scowl or with a grin,
