Could anyone please tell me just
where we are att and whether it
would be wise to put our furs back into
moth powder and bring out our or
CANDIES again, or whether We had just
better keep everything out-in case?
] don't know whether time is out
of joint" or not but the weather GER
tainly is. What is the matter with old
Father Time, anyway! Is he in his
dotage? To be sure he is old enough,
but We expect different things of him.
viii he never get tired of playing
'it' in this game of hide-and seek with
the seasons? Has he lost them COM
pletely, or are they only mixed up? /
do hope he'll catch summer pretty soon
and put her where she belongs. Per-
haps then the others will fall in line.
l am so disturbed-I find myself Won
dering what to get for fall and winter
wear. Come, now, summer, be a little
lady; let yourself be caught, or We'll
never have an excuse to visit the do
minions Of the trident-sceptered king
You have been touched, 1 see, by the
tears Of Jupiter Pluvius, but he's only
''fooling thee and later on will burst
into gales of laughter and weep eopious
y
He'll not give you any of his time when
it comes. Assert your rights now. while
you have them, and grant US the warm
and cordial welcome we expect.

On Memorial Day Dewey Lodge went
on an expedition up the river. Quite
appropriate that Dewey Lodge should
do it. Quite war-like sounds that
which Dewey Lodge did do. We sailed
in no sullen-robed craft, we carried no
guns, no ammunition, but battle we
did-deep-dyed bloody battle
The day was calm, the elements pro-
pitious. We stole along noisily, in the
dread of day, until, attracted by lone
ly sequestered spot, we proceeded
quickly to disembark, to plant our f1ag
and take possession in the name of all
our heroes. But we counted without
our host-that is, the hosts We're there
all right. only they weren't on our side,
and it was only after fierce and bloody
onslaught that we took the place by
storm and routed the enemy.
1t has been decided that Dewey Lodge
shall never again undertake such an
expedition unless armed to the teeth
with quantities of good, strong double
woven mosquito netting or gallons OF
pennyroyal.
In spite of the unexpected opposition
of unknown forces, we had an elegant
time and have no regrets for the
wounds received in the good cause
that of celebrating Memorial Day. The
invading army was composed of the
Misses Blanche Billion, Monte de Has
lea, Hattie Jenkins. Flo Robinette, Lille
Lindley. Edna Coppersmith, Ethyl
Martin, Elsye Martin, Miss Woolston,
Mrs. Fisher. and Messrs. Fred Johns,
Walter L. Williams. Stephen Fitzgerald,
Fred c. p. Huntington, Gus Flanagan,
Jack Gerber, Jack Willie Gee, Lou
Dieterich and Clinton Fisher. The OPP
posing ranks the countless hordes of
mosquitoes which at this season of the
year have taken possession of our river
shores.
