plying their paIatial cottages at the s"ag'
| ger summer re orts, and will not thro"
open their town houses until October.
There is something pathetic IN the way
summer closes in this Eastern country.
Il comes with dull, sickening thud-tne
bottom falls out, as it were-ahd you ieel
way down in your heart as though you
have lost something you can never replace

from a dream, you realize that roses ana
