Defying the Rain

There is nothing so refreshing and hardening as a good, hard, swift walk in the rain. The air is at its best then. The falling rain clears the in- purities out of the atmosphere.

Winter ought to be a cheery time. it is true that bright sunshine is at a premium,

But there are compensa- tions.

Winter is visiting time. When the heat and good weather beckons us to the hills, countryside, and seaside, have not too much time for ordinary social intercoursé, except in an out-of-doors sense. But when the weather breaks down the chance arrives to seek out friends in their homes. To asic them back again. An Inspiration

own

In winter, in order to Aght is and klown-in-the-mouth feelings,

one should always be up and doing. The mind should be kept occupled with Interesting pleasures or tasks. It is the period in the year in which the round of theatres and picture houses should be undertaken. There is no ure sitting moping over a fire. This just asking to be put to bed with hot water bottle, aspirins, and gruel. If you cannot afford much running about, there are attractive hobbles that anyone can take up.

Winter, viewed properly, should be an inspiration, not a dose of chloro-

form.

Possibly you are one of those who rannot stand visiting at any price. Social occasions get you down. Well, then. Ho off on your own somewhers on Saturday afternoons, or in the evenings. In these days of cheap bus fares nearby towns are brought nimost to our own doorsteps. One can pop off for an evening and have a cheap meal in a comfy, well-lit Inn or hotel.

Winter is a season of opportunities. In summer, there is a general feeling" that it is a shame to miss getting out into the open air whenever possible. No such obstacle arises in winter. Winter is the time in which every- ne should work hard and play bard
