POOR LITTLE BIRDS!
Dear Miss Morton,— Isn't winter awful. I suppose city people do not feel the weather as badly as wo do —at least, they aren't swamped in thick, sticky mud and their gardens aren't trampled underfoot by hungry cows seeking sustenance! The weather is terribly hard for my feathered friends. A group of shivering, bedraggled sparrows met me at the back door this morning. They were absolutely wet through. I could see their little grey skins. They were all huddled up on the branches of a small apple tree. Probably their short bird-memories told them that there, a short time ago, they had found abundant shelter, which is now. alas, lamentably lacking. I always give the poor little things crumbs, for I hate to see them wretched and hungry. Vour sincere pen-friend, Gwen Graham, Silverdale.
