BY Mildred White. Aged II Years; soci
Chicago Street. Dundee.
OF the four seasons of the year. spring
summer, autumn and winter. 1t is very
hard 10 decide which Is the most favor
able.
In the spring we have the beautiful
flowers. trees and grass commencing TO
bud. The girls start to jump rope and the
boys to play marbles. After the long
cold winter. spring is always very well
come.
Then comes summer with all its beauti-
ful birds and flowers, but we soon tire
of summer as II gets so intensely warm.
We long for the snow and the snow ball
fights.
After this beautiful season comes
autumn The leaves change their dresses
of green TO brown, gold and red. The
farmers have their harvest and the
plants commence to prepare for their
long winters nap. At this time of the
year kite flying is the center Of pleasure.
As soon as everything is ready for
him Winter comes with his icicles and
snow. He covers everything with the
beautiful snow flakes,
Children skate on Ice skates and build
snow forts. The center OF pleasure in
this season is ,coasting. -r r..t
OF all these beautiful seasons ] belisve
my favorite is spring. In this particular
season Mother Nature seems to smile
and even the heavens look glad to see
the plants budding forth with new life.
The trees and grass peep from their
winter quarters. For these reasons and
many more too numerous to mention
! prefer spring as my fayorite season.
