The piesent liKttiubruls aie atti mi nted, they have managed to hold their own thiough the Hying vveathei of 1MI7. but the.v aie about leady to give up. Theie's a lison of (onstuney and patience In them. sVhe'n It was rain inn lor weeks at a time and when the sky was cleat; when there weie ru mors of wats at'd when we weie cele biatliu." on guvest liullitavs; when we witr0 bnlllns the thlid-rull's advent and when we weie stumbling through plovved-tip streets, while we rejoiced over sewer woik don-' and while wi slapped at the pesky mosquitoes, as we giew a new postofllee. as we called F.llzabeth Patk our own, as the old police station vanished and d new out look shape, as landmatk after land msuk gave way to Impiovement, as we welcomed a sailed war telle, as old friends departed and hew ones came amid all our varying emotions the calendais kept plodding tight along. They shed a leaf each day, or month, aceoidlng to theii build, nnd, for cer tain special anniversaries, one here and theie may have indulged In red paint, but never exnggeiatlon. That was nil. It's because calendars aie so steady that thev'ie touiid in every home and ofhee, however puiltanlcul, however exnctlug. Not eveiy on" uppict lutes their cul ttne and information. Occalonallv a woman, thouffh she be surrounded by calendars, w 111 ask her husband w hat day of the month It Is. lleiug busy rending n newspaper, he gets pat cas tle; If he were a philosopher, he would see what a compliment had been paid him. In the puvence of her husband, .i woman Isnoies all other sources, of Infoiinallon. -even though studiously provided by him. That ,ls one teaseii why a woman who is much with hei husband never winds her watch. Hut honesty and uiliblllty are wearing- n calendar cin't hold out more than a vear. And vp Always find our selves enaer to take rtir chances Willi a now one. There nviy be the picture of a pivttv gill or of a conilagiaiion on the old urn . or.
