| DON'T dodge the rain drops or the snowfiakes.
Some of u.s. you know, do try to keep them
from wetting or pelting us. But why should
we? Were we so particular in the young days?
| guess not. When the rain pattered on the
shingles and against the window panes In
the small clothes time didn't you long
to take a run among the big drops-bare-
headed and barefooted? And when the snow
came didn't you turn your young face against
the flying flakes and stick out your hot tongue
to catch some of the winter messengers? To
be sure you did. Then you were a rain-defy-
ing. snow-scorning little chap. The dampness
did not depress and the snow did not discour-
age you then. But as the face downed and the
and the snow colder, didn't IL? A
wet foot now means cold,
throbbing head. stiffened joints, ginger tea and
a sweat; tramp in the snow means a chill,
rheumatic twinge, doctor, perhaps. Time
doesn't seem to IoIghen us SO much as we
imagine. after all. Still. we can't dodge the
raindrops or the snowfakes. So what's the
use wasting time trying. They are tribes
anyway, and we shouldn't be greatly an
noyed by them. It's the trifies that
perplex, to be sure but when we worry
simply waste our energies, that's all. So let the
rain drop and the snow fly without ducking
your head. Let them patter and dance now
as .hey pattered and danced in the long ago.
When the big drops fall down watch for the
rainbow, not the cloud. Take them as they
come, no matter how wet they are. The
sun, you know, will come again and dry you
the clouded day will die on the bosom Of STAR
lit night. The more we cover up and muff1e
against the wet and the chill the tenderer we
grow. Heaven never intended Its tears to
sicken or its blasts to blight US. Hothouse
plants wilt faster than the lilies of the field
Retain the storm-defying spirit Of youth as
long as you can, for through it you grow
sturdier stronger. Bare your head to the rain,
raise your face to the snow. Don't try to dodge
the drops or the fakes.
The realm OF fancy is the brains play

Who my joyfulness can tell when two kernels

Gave me chance to eat FiIlipeeni
There sat rogueish little Nell. who was the vii.

She ruled there like gentle fairy queen;
When held one kernel out she took it with
pout.
Then we together ate Fillipeen.
O I that nut was very sweet; vowed that when
we'd meet
Provided nothing strange should intervene
would be the first to shout, to joyously cry
out,
And on the spot demand my Flllipeen.
Since then I've grown quite gray-how the
years do slip away!
Hive to see another Halloween.
But Nell is fast asleep where the signing will

An angel claimed my precious Fillipeen!
