THE XMAS SNOW

The grown-ups went about during
the days before Xmas saying:
at doesn't look as though there
would be any snow for Xmas"
And Others said 1--WE fear we will
not have a white Xmas"
The children went about feeling
quite sad that they would not have
coasting. nor skiing nor a good old
sleigh ride.
cit doesn't look as though It would
snow" they said. ~What pity. What
very great pity"
Now. Old Man Winter had been Wis
iting Old King Snow--not for any
length OF time Of course. he had just
been having lunch with him now and
again and once he had stayed through
for supper.
That had been the time when the
earth people had had so much 10 say
about the warmth. They had all felt
so hot In their winter clothes and had
wanted TO put on lighter things but
knew II they did they would catch
cold. SO they stayed uncomfortable.
And. II they had changed. Old Man
Winter would have come hurrying
back and In the coolest and sternest
of voices he would have whispered in
his chilly way:
Don't you know It's winter timer
Well. If you don't. viii tell you.'
But now Old Man Winter had been
having some long talks with King
Snow again.
Have you made up your Xmas list

King Snow.
King Snow laughed a goodly laugh
and said:
"Ha. ha. Old Man Winter, are your

ter of Robert NJ. McGillivray, gem
eral manager of the Dover divi-

good account of himself for the
first four innings. After he had
a good warming up he was saved
for future games and Gray who
admits he "has nothing on the
ball' went into the box and held
the Littleton players to scattered
hits. All that the Littleton play
ers could garner was seven hits
against 26 by Fairbanks.
Fairbanks played beautiful
fielding game in addition to their
slaughter at the bat. Starr made
a pretty catch of foul fly; Mar
tin cut off a Littleton run at the
plate by a fine throw in from the
field and the infeld was a fine
working machine.
This afternoon Fairbanks plays
the fast Barre city team at 4.15
and good game can be depended
upon.

No Old Women Nowadays

Modern dress, hair dressers, facial
experts and cosmetics all combine to
keep women of all ages young and at
tractive in appearance. Not until
the telltale wrinkles become so deep,
the figure stoops, or some ailment or
weakness develops to drag woman
down does she really look her age.
Every woman owes it to herself
and her family to keep herself young

headaches, backache or the blues
develop or when Il woman reaches
