that Patti had decided on the dress:
at least she didn't have to make that
effort.
She stepped under the shower for

her to life again She briskly rubbed
herself to a glow and stepped into
her sheer French lingerie.
She slipped her dress on over her
shoulders. A new gown never failed
to give to her buoyancy of feeling.
What If Paris had decreed full skirts?
Patti knew that they flattered only
the very few, and she had wisely
chosen slim fitted one which flared
from the knees downward. The cling

can be found at the foot Of a laden
persimmon tree, If perchance some of
them have not been taken by boys.
Out In the sea the Goldfish are lay
ing their eggs. In the South the tar
pom are leaping high and vigorously
trying hard to shake off the hook Of
the Northern fishermen. The sailfsh,
too. are being harassed by vacation
minded sportsmen.
On the snowy tablets there are
tracks to read, and be sure to watch
for the mourning cloak butterflies
coaxed out from their hiding places
by the warm sunshine. The snow feas,
no larger than pin points, will be seen
dancing over the snow.
1t IS a fine time to learn something
about the evergreens and see how they
provide ample shelter for the birds
that seek protection at night in them
or under their dropping branches.
Look under the snow for the winter
rosettes OF mullen. dock and plantain
They are evergreen, too, and they
show the plan of their growth in the
way the rosettes are formed. Some OF
the trees show well-developed buds
Ice and freezing weather do not harm
them, the scales are tight, and usually
the young leaf or flower is snugly
covered with woolens and even a
ieathery coat.
In the stumps you may find some

There will be many leaves this COM

place signs that will remind you where
you saw tracks of the animals you

her cheerfully that she was in the

One of our winter visitors re-
Gently made trip to Key West
and was surprised at its size. She
had imagined a few houses on a
wind-swept sand bar. When she
saw the fine old mansions, wide
streets and rich verdure she re-
manned a week. When you can
impress a school teacher with
new chimes it speaks well, for
teachers are notably critical.
They look behind appearances for
the solid substance. This lady
saw so many churches that she
could not believe all the stories
in Mr.. Hemingway's book. She
said, 81 felt at home all the time
and never heard a single swear
word or angry expression during
my stay. In New York l was
bombarded with words polite peo-
pie don't use"
She noted that the children
seemed happier and more self
reliant in the Island City and she
felt the home life of the island
must be more closely knit than in
large cities. The fact that even
the youngsters could swim well,
and that the stories she had heard
about vicious sharks were untrue,
impressed her. So much activity
on the island since the road
opened was, she thought, a sign
of increasing popularity. This
lady will go home a Key West
enthusiast and you may be sure
that at the next meeting of her
Parent Teachers Associations she
will read a paper on my i'm
pressions of Key West, which
