These Autumn Davs.

The farmer may be clamoring for rain
and even the street-cleaner, bereft Of
water for sprinkling. may wish for q
good downpour. but from the point of
view of the mere looker-on at nature
these sunny autumn days, with just a
hint of GOODNESS in the air and with the
wealth of gorgeous bloom in the mead
ows and gardens still untouched with
frost. are halcyonic indeed. And as to
the gardens. while there are many which
are making brave showing with the
ever-blooming roses. the dahlfa Is now
enjoying an unopposed reign in the in
terval before the dollhouse glories Of the
chrysanthemums burst on the chillier
air of early November. And yet while
the dahlias are supreme. with their ex-
traordinary development Of the free
forms that simulate the blooms Of the
cactus on the one hand and the ragged
japanese chrysanthemums on the other.

Of May, the autumn garden would not
be j real garden If 1t did not depend for
much of its color and cheer on the zin-
MAS and the marigolds. They are in
deed the simpler background against
which the gorgeous Haunting dahlias
display their opulence. and the fine
thing of 1t all is that these blooms may
be possessed by the humble in their
small gardens as we'll as by the owner
of the big estate, and they may even
give a special blessing to the backyard.

THE OLD SCHOOL SLATE,

The story that in the shortage Of "a

seems too good to be true. Yet it is
perhaps true that the Board Of Super
intendents has discussed this possible
ity, and it certainly is true that supply
ing the schools with paper is exceeding
ly difficult. G
Middle-aged men who never thought
of school without slate for doing sums

the slate. Paper is used up fast. fast

sidered. They have been hard hit in
