them, to sense trends and draw
deductions as to what the future
promises to bring.
Usually, / have rather en-

Indeed at no time since pre-

what lay ahead.
/ confess, however, that for
some little time I've found i'm
possible to draw definite conclu-

pare for in the second half Of

That we will enjoy-or, at

stages of 1928 appears certain.
