noses OF the big healthy bulbs who have
withs,ood the winters blasts and were
rearing their heads three or four inches
above the surface to see what was being
done about the spring fashions. 1t is
sad to zee their energy thus snubbed.

We finish up with this issue the
fine list Of books just added to the
Way Library. The title of the books
and the names OF the authors speak
mainly for the character OF the Ii
brary. The remarks Of the JOURNAL u

have been taught to despise labor and
depend upon others for living, and
are perfectly helpless. II misfortune
comes upon their friends, as it often
