September ia a red hot month without any figures. Aa to auoahine she is tbe peor of any. Sunahine is her native element There are limitless oceans of it bstbiog earth and sky. It scorchea your cheek io the mornine. It smites ycu at midday with a torrid fierce ness that makes yon long for a shade. It is aa if the king of day had caught a glimpse of his vanishing empire and were fretting himself furious at the proa- pect At ci'herend of the day, however, the heat ia mercifully tempered. As the ev- enieg drops into night there ia a ehill in the air that sniffs of the coming frosts. At midday torrid, at evenins; lime a bright glow on the hearthstone that is September.
