WINTER COMES
CALL OF THE HEARTH HOME LITE HOLDS SWAY Winter has descended on Wanganui. 1 he heat of the Avenue has gone, and the laughter which floated up from the pleasure craft on the river is but a ghost of the past. Chill winds sweep the city, and at night westerly squalls glisten blackly on the pavement, while up the turgid waterway gaunt willow trees fringe the banks and in the lonely bush the wood owls call in sombre unison. But while the out-of-doors is uninviting the homely hearth has come into its own.. The man-of-the-houso has sat uneasily in the sitting-room until denly he has stumbled upon the bright idea of a fire. A fire!. Yes, that’s it! The flames leap cheerfully, and the family gathers. So it was that in Wanganui during the last two evenings —the coldest yet experienced this year—there were many happy fireside gatherings and home life, which is said to have passed, was enjoyed under hundreidjs of roofs.
