And he was frisking along in the sun- shine with a stylish young nurse in tow. As they reached a corner o the Library of Congress they came across two larger boys sledding up and down a biggish bump of dis- colored snow that had iced over. And the snow baby wanted the sled. The boys laughed at him, but paid no attention.

There was work piled on | her desk and more coming in—snow | falling and more on the way—wind blowing—time and tokens wasted— and a really good disposition mussed up—all because Nature wseems to prefer humans in glasses and we have to stand for it because we can't help ourselves. And, as if that wasn't bad enough, the time she had skated it, hy form she had to wait fully a minut before a car came along—and even theéh she had to put up with a halt seat Instead of being next the win- dow—not to mention other thought- up ills too numerous to mention The window passenger was an oldish, small woman who somehow suggested a dried apple—the old- tashioned dried apples that were wrinkledly but sweet under the skin. Her coat was a long-worn tragedy and she held a cord bag choked to the brim with frizzled celery tips, a ba'd-headed cabbage and the hock end of a ham. And qne big sweet | potato. Also she made such carnest | effort to take up less space that the | woman who had glasses on her mind had to tell her she had plenty of room. The statement emboldened the passenger into a shy excuse for being all over snow: “It was so dark when I started to ing until I got outside, and I didn't! go in_ for an umbrella, because it| might ‘wake up some of the others; ind, besides, T have to be at the stali | by 5:30, 8o I didn’t really have time. | Even now I'm afrald I'll be late for! my washing.
