you that rnere Is d great uImerence
in snow-that is, there is a great diff
ference between country snow and
city snow.
We may not have snow this Christ
mas, but We'll just suppose we dc.
Isn't good, old lively snOwstorm
great? Perhaps it is one of these lazy
snowstorms, with the big, white flakes
just floating down like feathers and
slowly turning the roads and roofs to
white, like a coat of good white paint.
Maybe there will be enough of it to
make good coasting on the hills and
good sleighing on the roads.
And, by the way, do you know
there are boys in the big cities who
have never seen a sleigh? Because a
sleigh is getting to be a scarce article
in the cities. You see, as soon as a
little snow comes the STRENGTHENING
department gets busy and sweeps it
up, before it gets chance to melt
into slush.
In the country the winter wheat
needs it, and the ground takes care of
it. But in the city it just means slop
and slush. So they sweep it up and
carry it away and uncover the ugly
pavement as soon as they can.
But they let you keep your snow in
the country. When a warm wind
comes along it will pack fine and you
can have your snow-men, and your
snow forts, and your SNOWFALL battles.
(OnIy please don't use your artillery
on older folks, or girls, or me.)
Or perhaps this snowstorm is one
OF the blizzardy kind, with the wind
Tipping around the house and pilng
the snow up in the cOrners-Why that
kind of snow doesn't seem to come
down at all, but just goes slanting by
until it runs up against something 1t
can't pass.
l remember being on a night train
one time; and when we woke up in
the morning, and the train was run
ming over the smooth prairies, a little
girl from a big city in western Penn

it was but maybe you can guess ex-

self were just twice the fun of things

I think that especially about a Christ

to be able to go out and pick your
