sward around gayly decorated Mnypoes the people did
not dance to keep warm Notwithstanding the frequent
days OF cioadiness and chilling wind during this MONTH

the air 10 see and 10 be seen The Park is looking very
beautiful although the trees not all III fun leaf

the place look of freshness that loses later IN the sea
