Alter an exceptionally lovely summer we are now threatened with a water ahortagell The lino weather has persisted until now. and I noticed today that in a neighbour's garden sweet peae are still blooming. We still have some roses, snap-dragons, and dehliss, and chrysanthemuma, but today we have felt the first cold wind, and I thought I smelled snow, so the bioasoms will soon be gone. and all the leaves from the trees. which have turned such rlchglow- lng browns. golds. and yellows. As usual. I am caught by the autumn. still wearim summer clothes. and have been having a hurried search for warmer things. You feel like mother and dad, about the snow.

We had one of the nicest lari- tern lectures at the W. l. a few weeks ago. It was called “The Charm of Cheshire", and all the photos had been taken by the lecturer.

What beautiful scenery you have in California-and evidently cli- mate to match. We have heard that some people in Loe Angeles live pretty gay lives. Is it due to too much money. and not enough

who get divorced easily are better apart. The marriage vows evident- ly mean nothing to them.
