Snow is a beautiful blonde with long golden hair, so pale that

them, that sometimes they sparkle like icicles. Snow is slim and
wiLowy. She looks like a goddess of the frozen North. Rain is
a brunette. Her hair i dark and curly. Her eyes are lmpid
pools Of inky darkness, and she is bright and smiling. Hers is the
healthy, wel-formed figure of an athlete and altogether she is a
delightful being. These are the two sisters that 50 many Of Us are
apt to find a nuisance during this season. Isn't it nice though 10
