The First of September
another New Year's Day because of so many
new beginnings these days bring along.
The public schools open.
The college and university terms are on
again.
The town houses must open and be prepared
for their masters and the family. y
There are peculiar charms in the new tints
of nature that September brings when she
ushers in the Autumn.
In the next few weeks the fields let go their
lovely green.
The corn aisles are broken up and the
"golden corridors" disappear, leaving only
6tubble and sheaves for the red harvest moon to
look down upon.
September later sunrises and earlier
sunsets crowd us all togreater diligence to get
Anna filings defending on us.

High-grade crystal, masterly cut, in designs of genuine, definite
good taste that is a treasure for generations.
