Candlemas Day was warm and cloudy
which was gratifying to many. The
adage, If Candlemas Day Ia warm and
bright winter will take another flight"
and as "tar as the sun shine In the snow
will blow in,' is still believed by many
good people. 1t was remarked, Satur-
day, by men on the street that one year
ago II was clear candiemas, and all
remember that the cold, severe part of
the winter came after the second day of
February. Those who have observed
the weather from year to year have
great faith in the condition of the wea-
Their on that day. The belief has come
down in families for generations such
belief may be true, at least there is some
satisfaction in thinking so.
