"What," trills the hard, "is so
riii'o as a day in June?" Frankly,
we say: Lot of things. Take a
hit of lilting Indian summer, for
Instance an afternoon of October
sunshine. For a eoupla those, the
gooey rhymer of old can have his
whole month of June.
October is a transition month.
It's ideal for those who don't like
it hot, or don't like it cold, or do
like it both. It's superfine for the
esthetes who arc offended alike
by the gaudy lustiness of summer
time and the bleak barrenness of
winter. It's splendid for those who
broil on the beach, freeze on a
slcighridc, but like steak fries.
Ah, but it's hell on us guvs what
ain't n no ; pcoats.
Anyone of a somber mood can
find much to reflect his disposition
in an October landscape. Mother
Nature sort of tones down, come
each tenth month, preparatory to
her long winter's nap. The grass
turns gray-tan. the brush, gray
olive. The fields, unplowed and
out of harness, go gray-brown.
Wild flowers tuck in their gay
lined little pusses to wait for bet
ter times. The birds pull up stakes
for a season on the C.nriboan.
Rvcn the improvident butterflies
find another world to owe them a
living.
Goodman Stuff.
Into the fast encompassing ;
briety. however, come a few clar
inet jam sessions, as it were, to
liven up the more serious score.
The countrysides bear unexpected
smears of sumac. The leaves go
to early graves in varicolored glad
rags. Pit tors wect oranges seques
tered groves, wild grapes pin pit
secluded brambles. Hardbound
walnuts inherit the earth on which
they fall.
The sky is a believable, sympa
thetic blue, not summers over
blight, or winter's beyond pale. It
smiles, ju.-t perceptibly. Mona .
Lisa-wise. It is most beautifully
sweetly sad. set off behind pale
golden cornstalks, whispering: in
the tempei amental breeze.
Have you ever heard a field of
autumn-dry corn whi.-por? Like
swishing waves, the murmuring
pines, the rustling gr.irs. its enn- ;
fidenecs can only be surmised.
Perhaps there's gossip of the fall- I
en brothers and sisters, wise nods
over the younger generation, self .
pity for the leanness of the years. I
Or per. '.aps. like those of "a mil
lion naughty little girls in church."
the wliirpers are self eon.-cious
impieties in the face of a too great '
Presence.
.So this, folks, is October, of la
c!i la-ing. of easy caught colds, of
migrating, hiberr.a'ing nature. Of ,
this, over all other months, we say .
"Gimme it."
