A Tempornmunul Juno

(From the New York Times) June has been this year the des- pair ot' poets and the distress of brides. May robed herself in tbs hlua skies and flowery meads of June, was fair at ‘lllflfll, radiant at noon. sereneabeve. and seductive under [d8 stars. Usually, May is temperamental. with more tearb than smiles, cold '11,! heart and some- times sullen. Butthls year when June came trom the wings her part

had already been played. She was not herself. Se has behaved’ like a woman scorned. She sulked, paroxysius iollowed tantrums. and then she cried hei- eyes out. lit her swollen features nobody could recognise the June 0t‘ honeymoons and the trultbadours. “June may be nail by the poorest comer," wrote tile poeL-who added:

Then llcavell tries earth it‘ it be ill tulle,

And liver it softly her warm ear

lays.

Earth has been too sodden this June for that sort oi‘ tiling. Even the Wetltller Bureau can say no- thing syllltiailletic about the angry beauty, it atllllits a precipitation of 6.1L‘ tilt-hes in twenty tluys and ruin on thirteen. 'l‘lle other seven days .lilne was torrid. 'l‘.le "poorest comer" has had enough of such un- tlcs.

She has spoilt-ll one college Commencement litter another, interfered with the gums-sot‘ the undergraduates and ruined Hi8 flneries oi‘ sisters and lovers, Nothing would grow accord- ing to the calendar.
