THE LEGENDARY
 BORROWING DAYS
According to Old Verse They Were Tough on
 the Birds
FEET STUCK TO TREES

Tho unreasonable weather for most of the month of April has been suggestive of legendary "Bor- rowing Days" so called. Not so long ago New England was in tho grip of heavy rains, sleet and snow. Hailstones hit the window panes, and snow piled up to several inches; rain fed the rivers, small and large; likewise the smaller streams and brooks, which sped along with a rush and animation not seen in years. The stormy time continues; skies are heavy and rain falls almost daily.
 The variety of stormy weather experienced for most of the month to date makes 1t hard to pin the borrowing days" on any particu- lar day or days. According to au- thority the days" should come about the middle of April. their idiosyncrasies best described in the following lines:
 "March borrowed frae Aprllle Three days and they were i'll; The first O them was wind and
 weet,
 The second O them was wind and
 sleet ...
 The third O them was sic freeze That the birds legs stack to the
 trees."
