lEAR READERS:


This is Wednesday
that / write you and
a beautiful day is al
ready in the max
ing. The fogs each morning
give us the impression that
that much needed rain might
not be too far off, but Old Sol
comes forth in a little while
and there is another perfect
day. How many of them have
we had? More than we have
any right to expect just now
with October beginning to
wane. That movable season
Indian Summer-must surely
be now, but we think Of it
later in the autumn or early
winter. At any rate the days
are just right for seeing the
fall coloring and it must be at
its very height at the present
moment.
