STATUES OF SNOW.
Modelling Men of CONCEALED Vapor as a
Christmas Pastime.

Any one who has built snow men In his
young days. and afterward learned some
thing of the more pretentious modes of
artistic expression. will have no mean opin-
ion or the art possibilities lying dormant in
natures beautiful white mantle of the
Christmas SEASON. Such, at least, having
been my own experience. 1 once ventured
to model in snow bust of Shakespeare on
conspicuous part of the Cornell campus
at Ithaca. This first effort attracted so
much favorable attention from the students
and townspeople that during subsequent
years, when the conditions were favorable,
/ repeated the performance, choosing each
time different subject.
The best time to build a snow statue is
just before the formation of a crust on the
snow-that is. during thaw and Just be-
fore cold snap. The thaw is sure to oc-
cur at the right time, but to be real
smart one should consult the weather map
In regard to the cold snap Before this a
subject should have been chosen and thor
oughly committed to memory since the
actual work of modelling which must gem
orally be begun and finished between two
or three o'clock and dark. does not permit
any time for counting the muse"
