The month of March was usher
ed in with slight touch Of winter.
A light downfall of snow which
melted away by the warm rays of
the noon-day sun, is what greeted
those of US living on the VILLAIN
cite side of the foothills of the
Coast Range last Tuesday morning.
So far this winter, no snow hes re-
mained with US longer than few
hours, and not frost enough to kill
the vegetables in our gardens. Even
now with the snow and frost, new
blooms are added to our gardens.
Spring borders, gorgeous with the
lovely violets, snowdrops, croouses,
hyacinths, jonquils, chinese sacred
lilies, daffodils, poIyanthus in red,
white and yellow, and the bright
eyed pink and white daisies. All
this granduer while our eastern
cousins are yet In the throes of win.

class of en- .ertainments. The
audience was not so large as the
merit of the performance would
justify but it is stated the affair
war a financial success.
