That Big Rain

sades section. There was about an
inch and half of the adored water
fall, so the New York weather man
said, and 1t seemed bit odd to see
rain at all, 1t had held of so long. The
wind was from the east and was
rather nifty in speed, being about
forty miles an hour. During the morn

were three or four heavy squalls when
before a driving wind one could

temperature was up to 81 degrees, but
fell to 46 about nightfall. AS every
thing was completely parched, this
particular downpour was welcomed by
