Harvest Moon,

harvest in the north temperate zone.
the sun in its usual course Is ap-
nroachinS the celestial equator, which
it crosses from north to south on Sep
tember 80. On that date it sets close
TO the western point Of the horizon.
II it happens to be then also full
moon. the moon rises that evening

opposite the sun. or close TO the exact
eastern point OF the horizon. Thus II
begins 10 give light ut sunset and con-
tinucS 70 do 50 until sunrise. wien II
sets opposite the sun. just as the lat
ter rises. This arrangement holds
good without any great change for

cally no darkness, especially II the
weather is iinr. The full moon which

called the harvest moon.

Notes From
Wildwood City Hall
BY A. F. LEIBY


For the third time in the present
month the Wildwood City Commits
sioners assembled in weekly meeting,
last Tuesday afternoon, the 18th. The
day was tranquil-full of sunshine
and the temperature of the atmos-
phere was moderate. A distinct trace
of lingering summer was seen on all
sides, suggesting to our minds that
possibly this was an Indian summer
day.
What is the origin of the term
Indian Summer and when does this
%by-season actually occur? These are
questions frequently asked, but no
definite information on the subject
is available. Webster's New Inter-
national Dictionary defines Indian
Summer as "a period of warm or mild
weather, late in. autumn or in early
winter, usually characterized by a
clear or cloudless sky and by a hazy
or smoky appearance of the atmos-
phere, especially near the horizon.
The term is commonly applied to such
a period occurring in October or more
commonly in November. The name is
of American origin-the reason for it
being unknown" The Century Die
tionary states that "the origin and
the original meaning of the name are
unknown, Notwithstanding many n.y.
potheses and much research. 1t ap-
pears first in the annals of 1884, as in
general use, from Maine to Virginia,
and describing a period of unusually
quiet, dry and hazy weather." The
poet Lowell, in writing about Indian
Summer, said:

When Judge Black, of the New Jersey

asked for by 25 taxpayers of Cape May
County for an investigation of the af-
fairs of said county, he pointed to the
fact, then existent, that the Board of
Chosen F~reeholders had managed the
peoples business so badly that the
borrowing capacity of the county had
been reduced to $4,000. What would
he say or think if informed that Wild

white but looks well In any color, and
especially so in the popular shades, as
peach, jade, orchid, pale pink, blue or
canary. Although many organdle and
swiss dresses combine two colors, or
a color and white, this dress uses only
one. 1t has straight skirt with
wide tucks, plain waist with tucked
vestee, and an ample fichu-collar. The
sleeves are elbow length and the
girdle is made of organdie.
Many kinds of flowers are made of
organdie and used for trimmings on
frocks of this material. Peach-colored
organdie, in a tucked frock with bod
ice cut in kimono style, has fiat roses
in different colors set about its round
neck, and makes q wonderful back
ground for them.
Snowy white dots on blue ground,
In the swiss dress at the right, make
one think of snowflakes against dark

possible. 1t has a white organdie
collar and vestee, short sleeves with
double cuffs of organdie bound with
dotted swiss and blue ribbon sash. A
few sprays of foliage embroidered in
the tunic in white wool finish off
little dress that is equal to almost any

2 UMMERTIME sets many lovely

summer girl, or anyone else who takes
these backgrounds into consideration
when choosing her frocks. For most
Of us, practical clothes for this work
1day world in which we find ourselves
are as important at least as those that
are decorative, and 1t happens that
the ginghams, chambrays, percales and
other dependable cottons that make
our frocks for work have attractions
equal to those that make the dresses of
our leisure hours. Special designers
plan these dresses on lines that prove
DIS charming as any others.
But the business of living requires
US TO have frocks for play and leisure,
and summer brings with it the crisp,
dlaphanous stuffs that belong to 1t
alone. Organdie and dotted swiss have
their day under the skies of summer,
and she is wise who makes ,the most
Of 1t. These materials come in the
most exquisite and flower-like color

as snow; they are within the means
Of everyone and the easiest to make
