is ever the sign that children watch
to tell them that spring has definitely
arrived. Although they suspect it's
coming. from the new warm scent in
the air and the green tips of plants
appearing above the brown soil, it re-
mains for the morning when they
walk along the avenue and see glim-

cast skyward again as the fountain
splashes exultantly. And then the
children will skip merrily around it,
dash all over the little pathways on
their scooters, bring out their Jacks,
sing loudly as they scatter nuts to
the squirrels and crumbs to the
pigeons .. Hurray. Easter will soon
be here with the rabbit and chocolate
eggs and We won't have to wear

will have a new blue dress and a straw
hat with ribbons and Tommy will
have a new suit, and Mother and

In the sailboat with Dad smoking his
pipe while he gets tangled up in ropes
and Mummy in bluejeans trying so

stares at them intently. Like an
elusive elf. the child gazes for q fleet
ing moment. and a strange, swift con-
tact is made between two worlds.
Then, in second, the small elf skips
of again and the older person remains
looking at the gay figure, whirling of
to join the band of children. The
other boys and girls turn to their play
mate and say, Who was that?"
