There have been no signs of a frost
since the beginning of July, n the
chronic fear Of catching cold is for the
time being in allegiance. Nobody tries
to dodge a draft or wants to stop up the
holes in a Comeback rocker TO exclude
the chilling currents OF air that might
pass through them. Rather are the
stiffest breezes courted, and when the
refrigerator threatens to become a hot
box from the tardy arrival OF the lceman,
the butter is in a melting mood, and the
milk in none of the sweetest, the mind
not unpleasantly dwell on the
zephyrs that whistled around the corners
in February, on the long tapering ieicle
that decorated the caves ana
only dripped for a minute or two IN the
middle of the day during January, ana
the huge drifts which are someway not
especially admired IN the long winter
season. With the thermometer register
ing 81 degrees in the shade the most
hustling individual becomes quite de-
Hberate i'm his movements, while the
naturally incident looks as energetic as
a protoplasm. Horses are out in some
fetching hats with a wet sponge arrange
ment in the crown that mighe be pronta-
bly incorporated in human mllilnery'
The equine ears are situated just right
to hold the bonnet on without hatplns
or a cord under the chin, and a little
chiffon and lace, a few aigrettes ana
nowers might be employed with good
effect and give the animals an extra eA-
euse for tossing their heads proudly
when they pass each other, and cause
them to linger at che drinking troughs
lost in wonder at the charming reflections
IN the watery mirrors.
