With the holidays trifie over q
month away and New Englands rep
utation at stake as a frozen climate II
seems as if the weather mans machine
was out of order. The weather is sim
NV n dream. The last of the fall
month is fulfilling her promise and
giving us good measure. One can hard
ly realize judging by the beauty spots
that still retain their summer garb in
and around Boston that this is Novem-
her. But the calendar reminds us that
there is but one more leaf to tear off
and a limited time to frame good res
oIntions before 1907 comes stalking in.

rolling as yet. Many of Boston's elite
are still at their mountain or seaside
bungalows making the most of this
autumn weather, but the fall and Win
ter social campaign will be in fun

US that Thanksgiving comes little
later this year than usual and the poor
tired and Overworked turkey Is re-
prievcd until the very last OF tn"
month, possibly owing to the chicken

ceivab!e tint are the proper thing and
uill have their run like the measles.

With hot air, Roman candles and dis

is over and with Moran it is case of
