The following letter from Mrs. W. >R. Rowe, (nee Miss E. A. CVourtice) will be read with interest and pleasure bv STATESMAN readers wlio remnember many of ber former letters from Devon- sbire: 30 Bay Yiew Terrace, Swansea, Southi Wales, England. DEAR STATESMAN :-At these festive seasons one's mind naturally turns tc the old home and dear friends there, wondering how Xmas Day is being spent and if it is the good old fashioned cold bracing air with the merrv, merry sleigii belis, etc. Heoteiii this corner of the worid we have ne sigus of fros' or snow o r cold. Beautiful warm autumu-like air with of course fthe usual ail day rains occasionally. To day tbe wcathcr is ail that could Le desircd. The sun is shining se brightly-sucli a delightffui beginning of the new year and new century. May if be an embleir of ail the aff airs of thec wor!d f0 follow. Xmas here iu Swansea is looked for- ward te quite as machi as et home. Indeed quite 6 weks ago wc ovetheard the conversation that it was high time te be laying up moneY ta be spent in Xmas treats, etc. Just liere, I might say, thore are many peculiaritioýs about this town different from what I have been uscd te. If is a tewnnotcd for grent mamtfacturing w o r k s - t i n, cepper, steel, spelter, etc. This noces sifates large num-bers ef working people who arc paid weeklv and who seem to let it go as rcguinrly. So 1 fhink you catch the idea that there must lie a special effort in saving in ordertospend the jolly Xmas they look forward to and which beaves them a w'cek lafer liol quite rostorod in body or pockef. Weei. s belortei sie shows, swings mnerry go- rounids, w ith hir charîning music, etc., ivere or. the scene rçoady foi al the stray pennies, while the litfle oneswerc up and down the streefs with tlîelr inîiteboxes for sometlîing' Vo spend. ln those di tricts ftic town lias ifs se- calied public ovens ivhere all h baie- ing is donc and at ail tirnes duringfthe ycar %ou înay sec the people carryinz their bread, meat. pies, cake, etc, f0 ho baked.
