BEAUTIFUL SNOW
COMMENT.

COMMENT.
| (Fron1 Mrs. A. G., Middleburg, Va.)
Oh! The. snow. the. beautiful snow!
Filling the sky and the earth below;
Over the housetops,. over the street,
sr asfinr o. sfmmina XII iG1 along oa
Beautiful snow. it can do no wrong.
Flying to kiss fair ladys cheek,
Clinging to lips in a frolicsome freak
Pure as an angel ano fickle as love
Oh! The snow. the beautiful snow!
How the fakes gather and laugh as they gol
Whirling about in its maddening fun,
Chasing, laushing,, hurrying by.
It lights UP the face and it sparkles the
And even the DOGS with Q laugh and q
Snap at the CRYSTALS that eddy around;
To welcome the coming of beautiful snow.
How the wild crowd goes swaying along,
How the gay sleds, like meteors fly by
over the crest of the beautiful snow.
Snow so pure when it falls from the sky.
To be ,trampled in mud by the crowd
To be eutIaHi sramipleaa and tracked by the thou
Till # blends with the Nth in the horrible
"Day by day In every way, it's
getting better and better" and this
refers to the RICH, certainly not
to the overplus of snow which drove
the poet to sing. I thing the Clear
ing House offers an excellent medi-
um through which young mothers
might disclose and discuss their
daily problems, such as how to
control selfishness, eliminate med
ding, build up confidence in shy
child and host of others that no
Government leaflet ever has shed
light upon. Successful mothers
might tell about workable methods
and beginners would be helped i'm
mensely. Recently two friends were
discussing the RICH and one said,
"It is in The STAR" to which the
other replied, "It IS The Star"
