Heat Of Everlasting Summer.
Il~ NE of these hot nights' Everybody has
] groaned early and late and finally retired to
his room after soaking awhile in the
coolest water the bathtub can afford The bed
hot to the touch and the idea of having sheet
you reminds you Of the furnace in hot wavc.
Thoughts of taking rubber blanket and hunting up
the ice house are finally laid aside and with ali the
crickets and katydds just yelling for joy at
the top of their shr voices you drift away into the

covering if it was ever on you and lie there nearly
windows and soft breeze ripples the sill like
of invisible ocean. You feel it swell over you
and die away again. There is questioning twitter of
birds, but the shril cricket chorus has modified it's
insistent note.
The thought of moving of morning is not to DO
considered for a moment Hypnotized by the peace
and quiet of the hour, everything floats away from
you again and conscious Of your Inconsistencies you
drift into the blessed Nirvana of the morning Sleep

Of fire. The breeze dies down to nothing The leaves
wilt under the great blaze Of heat The curtains are
all down and the day indoors passes as quietly as
religious observance. You feel like the fly that has
fallen into the honey It is oppressive but glorious
Bring your heat, double it up and spread it thick
everywhere It is summer, everlasting summer, and we
