| way to school this morning was another in
dication that there are plenty OF fashionable
| folks in town, because ii is September
and in spite of the fact that the weather is
| as uno omfortably warm the torrid days
Of June. Summer gowns and ways are still

are quite as important as the recounting of
| the. pleasures of the past summer. The
real leisure class has not many representa-
| tives IN town, nor will they come-very
sensibly-until another month or SO can be
mentioned in the past tense. With the gen.
! erai discomfort felt in the heat. there is a
CLEAN of consolation in the fact that. ex-
cept at the northerly points. it is quite as
| bad everywhere else as within these ten
miles square.
