TIIAT LITLE LIST There was an editorial in The Statesman at the year's end on the value of cleaning up ail those tbings we had intended cloing. The making of a "littie list" as in the "Mikado" was highly recommended, and striking the items off as com- pleted. Most of us need that littie list. And oh, the flourish with which we stroke through a completed item. If we ever get ta the bottam of our list, the feeling, we think, will be like coming out of the dentist's of- fice with ail the cavities drill- ed and filled, and no more visits for six months! Oh bliss, oh freedom. But the list is ac- tually harder to deal with, be- cause time and events are al- ways adding something to ft. Stili, they say that the strugglic- is good for the character, and we're ail for character. The enjcyment to be found in Sam- uel Pepy's Diary calîs us, but we must sternly turn away and address ourseives te the taskc of catcbing up with our cor- respondence.
