heads muffled like be-turbanned shieks and aproned

cleaning that quickly rids the house of male members
of the family sneang furtively out of every possible
exit. :. For man in house cleaning garb. he
feels, is as out of place smoking in church.
Trees half green, half a conglommerate Of shades

rid garden plots Of the last of the potatoes and SUCH
truck lest La Frost the sprite catch them mapping
And storm windows and doors must be turning

And how to dress? try to gauge the weather
from the warmth of my comforters with the one eye

Fall gives the girls things to do all again.
New clothes and new hats to talk. Bridge TO pay.
And dresses to be shortened-or lengthened-as the
whims of fashion dictate. There are theories that
