The autumn wanes, soon will the wintry
SHOWS
Descend in neocy flakes from overhead.
And frost.embroidered winds will paint tho
nose
luminous non-prohibition red.
Then will tho young mans fancy lightly turn
To warm topcoat and rubber overshoes;
And maids who now for ice cream fondly
yearn
will bathe their pouting lips in oyster stews;
And long neglected parlor sofas well
Their sphere in life again be called to I'LL.
