Snow and Temperature.

TEH old adage that It b too cold

i Of expressing the facts. Con-
sidering the amount Of snow
ct the North Pole. 1t is obvious that 1t

to fan. But the popular weatherwise
expression is true In this sense, that
in our latitude the greater part Of any
heavy snowfall takes place at fairly
mild temperatures, while the really icy
weather usually occurs after the peak
Of the snowfall, during the period Of
"blowing-off," as the country folk call
Il.
The typical history Of winter
weather cycle, or cyclone, as the mete-
orologists call it (the name being pop
ularly and incorrectly applied to hurr1-
canes and tornadoes), Is something Ike
this: A period of considerable warmth
sets in; there is melting, with mild
temperatures, but without much sun:
"low," blanketing-in the warm atmo-
sphere. During the next day the sky
darkens greatly, the clouds pack TO-
1T times. The temperature now drops,
Snow begins to fall, at first in large,
slow flakes. This Is the pretty part
OF Q snowstorm; the snow has not
yet become bothersome: it drifts down
on our hats and coat-collars, and Tor
|a minute we can examine even with
the naked eye the exquisite six-fold
symmetry Of the individual crystals.
In the country we can, as Robert Frost
has 20 exquisitely put 1t, stop q while
to watch the woods fill up with snow"
In the city we f1nd that ordinary
streets, even ugly spots, have suddenly
turned beautiful. The crowds move,
laughing and jaunty, through the
streets, stamping Oh the snow and
shaking it from hat and sleeve.
II the cyclone Is destined to be q
severe one, it now goes into the bliz-
xsrd phase. A keen wind rises; the
flakes fall faster, are small and sting
ing and have lost their airy and merry
quality. So, too, have the harassed
folk who have to struggle around icy
corners and drive through sleeted
streets. The sky remains dark. the
day very short, and the great plough
trains begin to struggle with the city's
streets and the incoming network OF
railroad ways. Chills settle on chests;
doctors are kept busy visiting sneezes;
and tempers generally are short.
At last, when the blizzard Is over
and cars are frozen up in their garages
or abandoned in deep drifts. and all
trains are hours late and country tele-
graph wires are down, and the city
finds it hasn't money to employ the
unemployed moving the tons of snow,
the weather blows of clear and cold;
colds that didn't get well turn to pneu-
monia or grippe; people break their
hips slipping on the ice: children ar
rive at school crying with frost-nipped
fingers, toes and ears: the sun ghtters
on the ice-encased trees; there Is skat-
ing on the ponds, and coasting on the
hills, and We are ready for one Of our
January thaws, with the beginning Of
another weather cycle.

A Little Saturday Talk.

- ONE day I think I shall write a
book about the letters which
have come to me 1t will be a
~ long task; for I have saved
thousands of letters and shall
want to go through them all when I
compose the volume.
The youngest child who ever wrote to
me was Esther Sunmersgill. She
learned to print words at the age OF
4, and sent me a letter with just three
words in it, besides her name and my
name. I am not sure who is the Oldest
person who has written to me, but at
least two readers in their 90s have sent
letters.
Between those extremes. letters have
come from readers at every stage OF
life-boys and girls in grammar school.
high school pupils, university students,
Young mothers and fathers. men and
women of middle age and readers who
are in the sunset period of their lives
but whose minds are fresh and eager
with interest in our wide, wide world.
These letters have given me much
enjoyment and have afforded glimpses
of home life and school life which l
value highly. When I speak, in Satur-
day Talks. about the Corner Family,
you will know that I am thinking OF
readers of all ages. I have said that it
would be hard to buy shoes for so many
nieces and nephews, but I should like

THE home decorator is wise when
deciding upon color schemes, to
consider the effect of time on
i pigments, papers and textiles.
Much has been written on suit
ing colors to exposures of rooms so
that sunlight effects can be introduced
into northern rooms or those which get
very little sunshine and cool quality
be instilled into rooms flooded with
sunlight. Little, however, has been said
about the influence of time and wear
on the things employed in the dec
Grafton.
Blue is perhaps the most hazardous
color to use. A grayness creeps into the
color which makes it lose its charm,
sometimes giving a soiled appearance
to perfectly clean things. For instance,
I remember net curtains with occasional
threads of blue in the smart but con-
servative weave. In the store the ma
terial was exquisite Be it said to its
credit that it wore like the proverbial
iron. But the sun drew the yellow
from the cream threads, and the blue
was changed to gray, with the result
that the net had murky grayness long
before the curtains wore out. Blue
hangings and blue sheets will acquire
. gray pallor with laundering unless
one gets really sunproof textiles. So
allink twice before introducing blue

scheme into a room unless the decora-
tions can be changed frequently.
Pink is a satisfactory color so far as
changing tones are concerned. The
hue merely gets fainter and fainter
without altering its general color. and
a delicate pink is as attractive in its
way as is a deeper tone. Pink sheets,
for instance, may be but tinted finally.
but there remains an attractiveness just
the same, even though frequent wash
ing and ironing have dimmed the
shade.
Green is tickle. It may acquire .
yellower tint and lose its beauty Of blush
toning. or it may alter by getting q
brownish tint. Sometimes it grows
blush. Usually this tends to beautify
the shade, although it may cause it to
clash with other greens in decoration.
In selecting black in textiles used IN
decoration see that it Is blue black.
This will not deteriorate into a brown
or green black, either of which does not
lend charm to black.
In these days of sunproof dyes;
changes of color ere not expected, but
nevertheless they occur too frequently
from some special causes, or because
the textiles are not sunproof. It y
wise to realize what may happen. ana
avoid annoying changes, If possible.

Standing with their toes in the

long, narrow, tooth edged leaves with

When they strike soil they OeGm 70
send down roots and in this way the
willow plants itself along the banks.
The tree does develop seeds, but 1t has
