THERE is a Rock Island girl who
objected to her mother putting FROST
ing on a cake she was baking for
Sunday dinner because, she said. it
sounded so much like winter. She
said that we had already had too much
frost for the good of our health.
THE trouble with US who re-
side in the cities is that we don't
dress for winter weather. remarked
the banker on the Long View car.
When we get into the country dis
tricts and observe the manner in
which the farmer fits himself out when
the thermometer is around zero we
see our mistakes. The farmer will
have fur cap and fur overcoat, with
/ boots and leggins, and he will have
underwear of half an inch thickness.
We men in the city won't put on fur
cap for fear it might muss our hair.
We complain that heavy overcoat is
cumbersome. 1t interferes with our
getting about as handily as when we
have our Palm Beach suit on. We
refuse to wear earmuffs because in
the first place we say they are not
stylish. Then, again, with our ears
covered we can't hear what our next
door neighbor is talking about. The
farmer, as further protection, let's
his whiskers grow in winter. They
help. too, in saving the face We
folks in the city keep on hollerine
about the cold when it's our own
fault that We suffer. The most of us
simply do not dress in keeping with
+, the season We are always ready tc
take something off, but we balk when
it comes to adding to our total OF
wearables."
