COASTING TIME

- OW are the days for coasting.
ID Boys and girls take great delight
\ in gathering together of evenings
and coasting for an hour or so be-
tween supper and bedtime.
The coasting ground should be very
carefully chosen and prepared. Rough
ground, full of snags and stones be-
meath the snow, may cause many a
very serious accident. See that your
coasting road is cleared of such OBJ
stacles before the big SHOWS come
which are to lay and pack and freeze
for the coasting. And have only
good, substantial sleds. "Bobs" afford
great fun, for several children can
ride on one at the same time. There
is no out-of-door exercise more en-
joyable than coasting on big bob
sled. Always have a cool-headed boy
to guide-one who turns a deaf ear
to the Jokes and laughter behind him,
and you will never be run into danger.
Coasting is a pastir much enjoyed
by Father and Mother. also, and when
they come out to join the children for
a little while the pleasure is en-

fact that all little folks love to have

Two boys, Paul and Lloyd Quincy.
cousins, had decided to spend Satur-
day and Sunday with some friends in
the country and had made an early
start on Saturday morning from their
respective homes in town. They loved
the five-mile walk over the crisp win
ter roads, and had planned to walk
the entire way to their friends home,
a farm Just five miles from town.
Several wagons and buggies, and one
automobile had passed them en- route,
and the drivers had cordially invited
them to "have a lift" But the boys
shook their heads. declaring that
walking was superior any day to rid
ing, and especially on such January
day.
The first two miles were covered
without the slightest change in things
Then the sky became suddenly over
cast, and both boys looked up to in
quire as suddenly. We'll where did
the grayness come from?'' and Paul
went on to say, "The sun was shining
ten minutes ago. This cloud, which
seems to cover the entire heavens,
has crept upon us like thief"
And then the air changed, and little
gusts of wind came whipping over the
land. "Gee!" exclaimed Lloyd. "its

.swhy don't you say it's threaten
ing a blizzard?" grinned Paul, "for
that's about the size of it. Only
Norther can come upon you like
wondering whether or not we'd best
turn our faces homewards."
Lloyd gave searching look around
the heavens. Then he said: mo.
we'll reach Grants place before the
blizzard can break. We're only about
three miles from there now. Let's
push on. hate turning back-for
1t seems cowardly. Even blizzard
couldn't become so fierce within an
hour as to hide our road"
'But we may be farm bound for
a week." observed Paul. ''That would
mean missing school for several days.
And neither of us can afford to lose
out on attendance. Haven't missed
q day this term, so far"
"Oh, a blizzard in this part of the
world never lasts over twenty-four
hours" said Lloyd. Just think how
disappointed the Grant children would
be If we were not to put in an ap-
pearance. And the old folks are as
bad as the kids Mrs. Grant always
roasts fat turkey in our honor, not
to mention her pumpkin pies. And
what's more, Stella Grant is making
drawn-thread something or other
for Mother, and she 'phoned in to
say she'd send It to Mother by me.
So we mustn't disappoint Stella and
Mother"
Paul gave a sly grin at Lloyd, who
blushed a bit and glanced round the
sky. Say. why don't you speak for
yourself. John?" taunted Paul. Its
not Stella nor Mother who'd be so
terribly disappointed. It's Lloyd, who
has an eye for pretty Stella. And
say, I don't blame you, old chap.
