THIS MONTH'S COVER: Artist Sheilah Beckett, whose work has appeared in Coronet many times, used imagination as her model in painting the traditional January snowman which decorates this rnonth's cover. A native of Vancouver, British Columbia, Miss Beckett has also lived in Oregon and in Ireland. Now, with her artist husband, J. Frederick Smith, and their year-and-a-half-old son, Ian, she lives in Rockland County, New York. Young Ian, incidentally, was a most enthusiastic observer while his mother painted the snowman. And his grin of delight furnished a model for the frolicsome, impish expressions worn by the family of snowball-throwers.
