October.

The first month Of the last quarter
Of the year, in the Judgment Of many,
is the best Of all. It's name betrays its
position in the primitive calendar at
ributed to Romulus. When Numas
revision went into effect 1t ceased to
be the eighth and became the tenth
of the twelve almanac divisions, but its
title was not changed. It did not have
thirty-one days until the reign Of
Augustus. The Saxons knew it as
Winterfylleth, the time Of Winters ap-
proach
But few, il any. Of its historians have
doubted its genial qualities. Certainly,
1t moves toward the melancholy season
which the festivities Of Christmas and
New Year were invented to brighten,
but the pace Of It's progress Is gentle
and moderate. It's first weeks Gus
tomarily are happy under . kindly sun:
its second fortnight may be less engas-
ing. but 1t rarely is an aggravation.
Old Sol retreats slowly, reluctantly,
and mankind has opportunity to make
gradual adjustment to the falling
thermometer and the threat of Boreas'
icy wrath.
Artistic souls, in any case, should ap-
prectate the October landscape. The
frost is painting the trees Of the forests
and staining the meadows. The wood
lands blaze with yellow and scarlet, and
the fields mellow into velvet brown.

Poets have sung the praises q the
month with generous enthusiasm. The
Americans in the choir especially have
been appreciative. Perhaps that Is .
reflection Of the fact that nowhere else
in the whole wide earth Is October
lovelier than in the United States. But
it is the Canadian bard, Bliss Carman,
who best has caught the spirit of the
theme:
There is something in October sets the
gypsy blood asttr:
We must rise and follow her,
When from every hill Of flame
She calls, and calls each vagabond by
name.
