robins make the air resonant with

bad it is horrid. Just now we are
getting little of the good part. May
the rule of the balmy winds last long
and prosper and may they prove able
to resist the onslaughts of any further
cold waves from the north, such as
made us think that spring is delu-
sion and snare few short days ago.
