SNOWFLAKES
(Rosalyn Prager, Brooklyn, N. Y.)
See the dancirg, whirling snowflakes
Forming crystaline delights,
How they're tearing, stunning twist
ing
Through the frosty, starry nights.
See the softly falling snowflakes,
Gently on the joyful world.
The sky’s sweet Market, brilliant
white,
Of snow, has lightly unfurled.
See the heaven's earthly blessing,
Dropping from the sky so mild,
On a coverlet of jewels,
Which through it, the earth has
smiled.

“Christn.as and home—the two
B. ^ Lifsey, of | wopds j ust n;t tui-ally go together do
they not? The value of our homes to
us personally and the power they are
in our national life have been much
ji mind lately, for the government
has asked us to piay an active part
in publicizing its home adjustment
program ru our clubs—I opened the
coast to coast broadcast on Nov. ,
| for I believe firmly that the failure
to maintain well kept, normal homes
in this country could easily end our
democratic life."
“At the present there is very ap
parent a drift back to the home We
may say it is caused by necessity if
we please, that having no money we
have no place to go, but whatever
the cause, if we are wise, we will see
the habit of staying home Becomes
stronger and stronger as our pocket-
boolts become heavier and heavier.
And I m glad also that not only are
we staying more a: d more at home,
but we are working more and mure
ir. the home. I wish we might strike
a happy medium on this work prob
lem. 1 know we overdid it in the
past, but we are certainly underdoing
it—if there is such a word—now.
And in planning our leisure pro
grams, let s teach people to work as
well as play, for take work out of
the world ar.d it would be a sorry J
place in which to live.”
In closing her message in the De- 1
cember issue of the Clubwoman, of- j
ficial orgat. of the General Federa
tion of Women’s Clubs, Mrs. Poole ’
cays:
“I shall be thinking of you on De- ’

of you in- relation to children. To
make everv child happy on that day
is the desire of every human being ,
but why do we stop with that day j
