WINTER

a CHILL was in the air when I
4 \ woke this morning. A sharp wind
was blowing in at my window, and
outside l could see the bare branches
of the elm tree outlined against the
sky. | drew the blankets over my
shoulders and Struggled down into the
warm bed. Winter was coming on.
AS 1 went to my Office after break
fast the air was full of blackbirds
flying hither and thither, chattering
and excited as a group of women Cos
siping about their neighbors. They
were organizing their forces for flight,
apparently; they were going South,
for they, too, realized that winter was
coming on,
My neighbOr across the street was
getting in belated supply of fuel and
l could hear the coal rafting down
the chute into his cellar. Up in the
walnut tree the squirrels were busy.
They had gnawed a hole through one
of the columns in my pergola, and
they were using the hollow space as
a stOrehouse for their winter supplies.
l know very well that was where my
crocus bulbs would find lodging If I
did not give them protection. Tho
squirrels, too, were getting ready for
winter.
1t Is strange how few of us make
preparation for the winter of old age.
We play good deal through the
springtime Of youth; we take lif3
lightly during the summer, and even
when aus1mn comes with it's quiet
lazy days, we deceive ourselves with
Celusion that winter is still far away.
We make little preparation for the
migration.
