"There probably won't be any party," Ruth's mother consoled her. "They'll have it some other time." "Imagine a New Year's party at any other time!" Ruth laughed bitterly. "I never get any fun. Cooped up here on the farm all winter, and now when there's something doing, father backs down on his promise. Scared of the storm! Why, I wouldn't be afraid to drive over •lone." - "Well, you aren't going to! All right, I guess we can make it. Go get your things." Ruth jumped up and kissed him.

The car swung around, the brakes jammed. The soft snow settled down under the two front wheels which hung over the edge of the road. "We're stuck, Ruth," her father said.

They stumbled on together, feeling their way, and at last the welcome lights of home showed them the right direction.
