The forecast OF the weather for today is

The prediction is that the maximum tem-

There will be shifting of the wind from
the west and northwest to the south west,
but the most desirable wind at this time
is expected, longed for, pray yed for, from

any exercise other than slow march to
the parks, 4 ride into the country, an ex
cursion down the river, or an all-day loll
