Maybe she had neighbors who · mowed their own lawns at 6 a. m. or who entertained noisily ·until early morning. Doubtless she was not a very sociable individual and hated children. No wonder she doesn't want to go back. We love the suburbs. We can easily name objections to hoth city and country. But the suburbs for us every time.

In comparison with our tiny two-flat structure east of the alley our new plant is a giant. Our equipment, though greatly increased, is n.ot crowded and there ts plenty of room to ~eet de. mands of several years to come. Next, \ve trust that you will notice how much of health-giving sunlight · and air can find entrance into our various rooms and offices. Metal casement windows furnished wtth copper screens and venetian blinds not only make our work more enjoyable and efficient but add to the good looks of our surroundings. Our house will be on our reception dav as neat as a new pin, and as you know nothing can be neater than a nice new pin, Our walls and even our floors will be itnmaculate. Our machines will be so free from outward ink and grease that not the slightest smudge can attach itself to the , early spri1~g gowns of our lady visitors. \Ve sincerely hope that you will like our housewarming. The other day we read in a well-known weekly magazine an article which maintained that of all places in which one might 1i v e t h e suburbs were the Why Lit~e worst. Live in the In the Suburbs? city or live in the country, advised the writer, but don't live in the suburbs. The suburbs of a city are a sort of halfway place, not a pla'ce where, as in the city, one can conveniently get to theaters, lecture halls, and museums ; nor are they like the country, right next to nature'~ ~ear~, amongst fields and woods. So \vhy hve tn the suburbs? · The author of the article went on to point out other unpleasant features of suburban life. To get to the city and back to the suburbs one must make a long disagreeable railroad journey twice every daJ.. And even when one got back to his nice 'little suburban home he found himself in tbe midst of neighbors whom he dicla't like but with whom he was obli,ed to be Dn decent terms.

It is becoming that all his fellow-citizens should recognize the devotion of such a life as this, spent so completely f,or the good of the community. One of our northern acquaintances who wrote to us recently from Florida said that she found Florida cold and expensive. This doesn't make us feel the least little bit sad, because we always like to believe that where we happen to be at any given time is the best place to be. If \Ve had been told that Florida was balmy and economical we should now be envying somewhat those northerners who had been fortunate enough to be visiting there at present. A dweller in Glencoe has trained a canary, an ordinary yellow canary, to sing tunes. Just how she did it we don't know, but she did it, and now that small bundle of golden feathers can warble a human tune or two. Isn't it wonderful?
