New York. June 30.-There are times of
.ha wear when a combina tion of the
-raatber and the poetry written about it
could make a saint lose her temper. The
newspapers get up and quote about the
rareness of a day il June as If 1t were
boiled leg of mutton, and to save my life
cant see that it is any rarer than a day
IN September or any month without the
odd number. There are thirty June day.,
and thew are calculated to make people
cross. ouarrelsome, and get them in
such conditions that they lose their
chances for a cool hereafter. The lst of
lime is usually wet, miserable and gray;
then everyb body regrets the open fires,
bnt because it is June, sleep without
blankets and become victims to influenza.

SETS. like bright red ball some evening,
and the next morning humidity and heat
combined own the town. Ones con-
science and ones linen alike are limp; no.
body is quite ready to go to the country
and the getting ready is something too
dreadful to think about.

ton rather than wear, for who could en-
dure new shoes in June? People talk
about June brides-I should think the
GIRL who got married in June would be
divorced before December. The last of
