A LONE in the forest where the wind is whispering through the
~ trees and the rays Of the early morning sun are stringing
necklaces Of sparkling dewdrops, g beauteous maiden is stir
ring as the currents Of life move about her. The maiden is Sum
mer and she is awaking to another glorious Summer day.
What a never-ending wonder it is this procession of the sea-
sons that is ever new and mysterious II It's one of the few things
which man cannot influence or change. He can master the
elements, can harness the rushing tide SO that il will furnish power
for him to work with and see by. He can send sound and printed
matter through space. But he cannot speed the arrival or de-
parture Of the seasons. And il is we'll SO. The tingling cold Of
Winter. the limpid warmth OF Summer, these can never be Of
mans making. And the magic Of the seasons Is something. too,
that man cannot duplicate.
And so Summer awake. and threading flowers through her
hair and donning her garments Of green and gold. And the
world takes on the aspect of a carnival.
Laughter and JOY are everywhere, gleeful anticipation OF the
Joyous season. And love is glad. for July is the month of roses
and Of happiness, and il is also the time when affection and friend
ship ripen into love. For the care-free, play-filled days Of Sum
mer from the perfect background for romance, and for the whole
hearted gaiety Of youth. And so Summer bids you make the
most Of is opportunities for your happiness that you may know
how beautiful and perfect the world may really be, despite all the
carpng critics who refuse to find JOY in anything and look upon
Summer as merely a season. unseasoned by love. life or LAUGHTER.
