sweating through q dull, hot time.
Everybody complains OF the heat, and
everybody swests accordingly. Busi-
ness lie on the decline. Nobody wsDts
to be busy when it is 80 warm. The
sun shines down with blisterirg beat,
il rains and afterwards grows hotter.
Men parade about the streets with coats
of, collars thrown open, putting and
tanning, and swearing they never fel;
such oppressive weather. All the
women during the daytime are COM
pletely housed. Long after the sun
goes down and the stars come out and
the moon gets high, then they appear
on the streets, dressed in light flimsy
evening attire, fitting about under the
gas lighte, in the ssloons, in the psrks,
and wherever q breath OF air will fan
their downy cheeks.
