THE MISSION OF ST. VALENTINE
When winters at his oldest,
And coolest,
And boldest,
Then cometh good st. Valentine
To show that love is burning,
And signing, and yearning,
And breathes upon the wintry earth
His tenderness divine.
When life is at it's bleakest,
And meekest,
And weakest,
Then cometh good st. Valentine
To show that love is rosy,
And wistful-eyed and cozy.
And breathes on every torpid heart
His tenderness divine.

letters of the column lately. I know l
ought to write oftener, but keep put
ting it off until the weeks slip into
months.

holidays. | enjoyed Christmas so
much. as my family were all at home
TO enjoy the home Christmas tree,
which was loaded with gifts for all

winter; it is so beautiful out or doors
Sure. there are some days when the
mercury drops below zero and walilhs
wind makes us SILVER, but that only
makes the sunshny days all the
brighter by contrast.
I always look at the column for the
recipes. and am disappointed when
there is none. Why don't the SIS
ters contribute more of their choice
recipes for all sorts of desserts, soups,
salads? This column ought to nave
large cook book printed.
