The morning's light must find us moving, Ready our daily tasks to do; This is the way we have of proving We can do our part at working too. Visiting for the older folk and sleigh-riding for the younger were the principal amusements of the winter. The life then led was very plain and uneventful. There was no ostentatious display, or assumption of superiority by the "first families."
"That looks well, and it reads well. It looks very natural, and it reads like poetry, blank verse; there's no rhyme for it that I can remember. Dear Marcia: Will you go sleigh-riding with me to-morrow afternoon, at two o'clock sharp? Yours yours? sincerely, or cordially, or affectionately, or what?

One afternoon, not long after Christmas, when Maria returned from school, almost the first words which her aunt said to her were, "I do hate to see a young man made a fool of." Maria turned pale, and looked at her aunt. "George Ramsey went past here sleigh-riding with Lily Merrill a little while ago," said Aunt Maria. "That girl's making a fool of him!"
The hills about town were just right for coasting and the broad Champlain Valley stretched north and south to be explored on snowshoes, skis, and with sleigh-riding parties, but the scouts could not find time to enjoy these opportunities.

And you are quite at home in Salem, I suppose? You had a long journey. Did you like India?" "Father was there;" with a sweet, attractive simplicity. "And some of it was very beautiful. Oh, I almost froze the first winter here, but last winter I didn't mind. And the sleigh-riding was splendid." "Are there many little girls to be friends with?" "Oh, I go to a nice school.
I want you to go sleigh-riding with me in the afternoon." "I don't know about that," Marcia began. "But I do," said the young man. "Hold on: I'll put my request in writing." He opened her portfolio, which lay on the table. "What elegant stationery! May I use some of this elegant stationery? The letter is to a lady, to open a correspondence. May I?"

"And worst of all," snapped Mrs. Broughton, "he really seemed to enjoy it.
The little girl had gone to bed some time before, though she declared she wasn't a bit tired, and her eyes shone like stars. The very next day it snowed, so the ladies could have no day at all. There was sleigh-riding and merry-making of all sorts. One day Dr. Hoffman came and took Margaret and her little sister out in a dainty cutter. Then he used to drop in St.
