Will have my say IN the present one IS
have studied over the list OF months
carefully and weighed the advantages Of
each, | ind IL rather hard 10 decide, First
comes January, with its cold norm winds
and SHOWS. 1t Is the nrst month In the
year. and everyone starts With new energy
and new resolutions January Is SO named
FROM the Roman Janus. who was the por'
ter of heaven having the surname Patul'
Gus. opener. He was. represented with
two faces one Of which looked back over
the old year fne DINER forward 10 the
new. Next comes February II resembles
January In many ways Sext comes
