Then, if ever come perfect days.” But to mi there is no time so beautiful a Autumn when the sky is a misty hazy blue and all the world is garb ed in such gorgeous array. The forests which in spring arj stately and grand, all in green, ar' far more beautiful in Autumn, whe the maple is brilliant in red an| gold, the willow in yellow and th' oak in russet brown. The orchards although beautiful in spring whej all in white and delicate pink, ar lovelier when the ground is coverej with Autumn leaves and the treej are laden with golden peaches, ye( low pears and red, russet and vello^y- apples. The corn fields too are good t| K see when, the ripe, yellow ears ari E just ready to gather and the con ■ stalks give promise of well fille/ S silos for the winter. The farmers are glad for the cleai M Autumn days in which to gather il for winter, thejr supplies of vege tables and fruits, grain, hay ant meats. It is in Autumn too, when th« short day is over, that we love tc gather at some large farm house tc spend the long evening, roasting apples, popping corn and making candy. Two of our most enjoyable holi days are in Autumn. Hallowe’en, when we make hidious Jack-o-lant- erns, and in dimly lighted rooms tell wierd ghost stories and have our fortunes told by witches and Thanks giving, when all the aunts, uncles and cousins go to Grandmas for the turkey dinner. In the spring we feel strong stout hearted, ready for the lonj summer of work but in Autumn w feel that we have done our task an< are waiting for the reward—th long winter of rest. High School.
