 Some brought their gifts wrapped up that you might have the pleasure of opening them. Many 6 gift in bright hued covering turned out to be far from what you expected when you were opening 1t. Some of the happiest gifts were hidden in dull cov- erings you took of slowly threading to see the contents. Some days brought you many gifts, others only one.
 As the days grew older. some light and love. Others came with mu- sic and pleasure--and some of them brought pain"
 .'it was one day, was 1t not. that brought you a long sorrow. The day came with her gift. You would not let her lay 1t at your feet and pass on into the darkness of yesterday. lou
 
 would not let her go. You kept searching her sad eyes. to see wheth- CT she did not have further pain for you. Why keep her back from her appointed way? Why not let your days go by? While you have been holding this one. the others have passed you taking your gifts into yes ferday. Memory guards yesterday. but there is a veil on the face of To- morrow"
