LONGING FOR SUMNER.
Which Suggests an Old but Hardly
Complimentary Aphorism.

When the frost Is on the window
and the kitchen pail is froze, when the
little icy needles come from every
breath that blows, when chilblains
make us faint and cold feet give us
pain, it's safe to bet that we all wish
for summer days again. For while we
sweat and fume around in gauzy sum
mer clothes, it's easy enough to get
cooled off. as everybody knows; but
it's different in the winter, when the
world is full of ice, and the weather
is as hard as pair of loaded dice.
We may talk about our climate, and
about our springs and falls. but the
balmy days of summer are the days
that suit us all.
