THE BEAUTIES OF NATURE Last year we had a wonderful sum¬ mer, heat and rain causing beautiful flowers to bloom in the smallest gar¬ dens. Nasturtiums and hollyhocks, intermingled with sweet peas and dahlias, made a riot of color. The grass was green and the sun warm; you thought then that never was there a time more lovely. Autumn came: Gradually the leaves became a rich yellow and the berrie: ripened into deep red. A long walk in the woods portrayed tall tree: massed with yellow and a thick car pet of leaves underfoot. Fresh snappj mornings greeted you on your way to school. But after a few days of rather de pressing rain, the work-a-day worlo left its gray, drab surroundings, tc become a veritable fairyland. Crysta trees lined the boulevards and tin grass had little diamonds twinkling rainbow colors in the sun. But that did not last; one morning soft snow had covered the world like a white velvet cloak. Everything was quiet and wonderful. Then came Christmas; lights twin¬ kled from Christmas trees, both with¬ in and without. Rose Fyleman ex- MOORE ' S TAXI LTD. Cor.

D.M.C. I. BREEZES 67 Messieurs Dupont were incorrigible —I mean incomparable. You are to enjoy these few mo¬ ments of delightful “blah” through the courtesy of The Breezes staff. FEEDING OUR STATUES In writing this article, I should like to explain to the reader that for some time, after the lunch hour, there have been “sacrifices,” such as old shoes and waste paper, placed in the hands of our statues. The Winnipeg Central High School, now rebuilt and named the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate, collected in va¬ rious ways a number of beautiful statues and pictures. One day, while walking down the hall, I chanced to perceive a young lady, clad in marble, about to devour an old shoe. I appeal to your finer senses: Is this the way to nourish a thing so lovely ? How many vitamins are contained in a dry orange-peel, rather the worse for exposure? Our modem age may care little for such artistic things, it is admit¬ ted, but surely we can appreciate that which is passed down to us by art-loving people. MARGARET PATERSON.

D. M.C. I. BREEZES 69 es pressed very aptly last year’s dis- e.s play: lk “Christmas trees lit up at night e: With little balls of colored light, r As pretty as you please.” 1 ’ After Christmas we expected the to usual Prairie winter, but it did not come. Mild weather has prevailed most of the year 1931. Already the days are lengthening, and buds are ‘ unable to keep their emerald bril¬ liance hidden any longer. Lilacs will put forth conicals of mauve and white, scenting the fresh Spring air. - Even now bulbs are blooming in win¬ dows, for the Canadian winter will not allow early spring blossoms to cover the ground. ! “Winter, summer, spring or fall, Which is fairest of them all?” MARGARET PATERSON.
