when the weather made actually un-

the day. Oicourse there were a good

some time during the dav. Even more
than Egypt. anywhere north of Luxor,
Arizona is the land OF the sunshine.
"'The nights throughout the winter arc
apt to be cool enough for wood iires
and blankets. Halt the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but it
is never prudent for stranger to be
without one at hand.
