AUTUMN
BY d. C. PEATTIE.
Indian Summer.

IT OFTEN wonder whence comes that
fine, poetic expression, Indian
Summer" Did the Indians call 1t
i Summer? I don't think so, yet
something must have connected
them with the tranquil, golden days Of
Autumn that often follow after the
first storms and cold, for the original
ready had quite another name for the
similar season in England.
They call.d 1t there, and still do, st.
Martins Summer, Just as they called
asters "Michaelmas daisies" But the
New World had an odd effect on all
comers; established traditions began to
| disestablish themselves; the English
language began to change into what Is
often called the American language.
I thus Autumn became Fall" Apples
produced new strains: humans pro-
duced new PHILOSOPHERS and political
doctrines-and Indian Summer was
born and christened.
There Is certainly something very
reminiscent about the Indians in our Au-
tumn. It was the Red Mans continent,
and red, flaming red, russet red. scarlet,
orange, yellow and all the colors in the
Indians war paint box are in our Au-
tumns. There is nothing in the world
to touch our Autumn coloration. It is
an autumnal continent, q land of the
extreme West, Of the sunset and the
sunset colors, sunset glory and sunset
tragedy for the Red Man, Is events
turned out.
Practically all the favorite garden
flowers Of Autumn were grown by the
Indians, at least the Indians OF Mexico,
who cultivated and perfected the
dahlia, the cosmos, the zinnia, "Airi.
can" marigold and sunflower. The corn
