The gates oT child liood '—do yon remember? have clanged behind ns; how much they have set apart we but dimly realize. Four milestones mark the years, fruitful years, years in which joy and sorrow have been mingled, years in which success and defeat have found an equal place, years in which, as we have sown the seed of sincere and patient effort, there is a prediction of a golden harvest. That this may be even better than your dearest fancies picture is the wish of y0ur 0ld friend, The Mirror. That all your ambitions may be realized: that your castles in Spain may have a firm, rock-bottom foundation; that all your lives may be crowned with success and happiness- these things “The Mirror wishes for you.
