you each week, and take t
many mirror friends" for

But it is time to get busy reflect
ing i'm our mirror, some of the
interesting this and that" which
we have secuted around and found

rate, if the old adage is true
misery loves company, we
should be consoled while 'e shiver
and slip and slide on the icy
streets; for greetings come from
Mrs. Ida Postles, a Detroiter win
tering in Dallas, Texas, who says
we have nothing on The Lone
Star state as it is severely cold
there and they shiver and shake
also. Greetings likewise from
Orrin Southern, telented organist
down in Alabama, who declares
that old inhabitants say that the
cold spell in that section has brok-
en- all records for severity, as well
as longevity. He also says that
at this time last year, down there
at that big Tuskegee School, he
and other friends were dressed in
palm beach togs and out of doors
playing tennis.
Greetings have even come to us
from the much-talked-of sunny
California, telling us how cold 1t
has been outhere, where they are
shivering in snow and ice, instead
of basking in the customary sun
shine. Well,we could, like Tenny-
sons Brook, go on and on indefi-
nitely, on the topic of cold wealth
err, but enough is enough.
