nox came punctually some twelve
days ago, and we are now spinning
swiftly on toward the summer
solstice, there is not the faintest
hint of spring. No buds are swell
ling; the trees are dry as sticks.
The daffodils, anemones and vio-
lets, that sometimes mingle with
the SHOWS of February, are still
hiding under the frosty ground.
Not swallow is yet to be seen
skimming over the meadows. A
Canadian winter has gotten loose
somehow and wandered down to
the Chesapeake and up the Poto-
mac. A cold, raw, windy, snowy,
tooth-chattering, chappy-lipped,
blue-nosey spring now broods over
us, like that of Labrador, where it
is winter for nine months in the
year, and for the rest late in the
fall.'"
