Today tjie Back Is Broken of
Roughish Winter
the Spring month being only about six weeks off,
with its birth of color coming, and the sleepers of
the lawns, gardens and woods awakening to give us
their first smile. Then the sky will brighten, and
the blue become bluer, and even the clouds will have
a new light shimmering through them."
The gift of light each new Spring must be
something like that of Eden, when Adam found his
beautiful bride.
Lying between us and the Easter month are the
chills of the short February and the fierce winds of
boisterous March, but who minds them much when
the baby Spring and the birds are so near at hand?
The Winter days are always healthful for
workers and those who have, through the war,
learned to love work and suffer weariness, and those
who have broadened their sympathies and service
wjll no longer study almanacs or count hours when
there is yet so much to be done to make the world
sweeter and better to live in.
Let us fill the gap of days between the seasons
anticipating the Muebird weather of our Easter
holidays, soon to be here.
Hark ye, good friend, use the Store privileges
music, hospitalities for your friends all you like!

About Silk Waists Generally
