The other day a. girl of twenty-twoâ€"â€"she was quite old enough to know better~wns wearing a sheer muslin blouse that showed bare skin more than half way down her back, bare arms except for the shoulder- straps‘sof her undervest, which had l slipped down nearly to the elbow. bare shoulders and bare chest. The blouse was high necked, but none the more modest for that. The question of its modesty however would scarcely be i thought of on a hot summer day, but l this was cold December. The girl stood about with folded arms, half shivering. and it struck me as inaps proprinte. lacking in common sense disgusting. Had anything been saidi about it, I have no doubt the girl would have reumrked with an air of being just 3. little ahead of the times. "011.

On Sunday, Dec. 3lst. there was daylight for only eight hours and 58 minutes. So that in nine days’ time daylight increased over three minutes. or about one-third of a minute each day. After New Year’s, however. the days lengthen much .faster. The question may sometimes ‘xx-ise as to Whv the weather is not coldest on the shortest day, when the sun’s rays are striking the earth slant- . wise. or hottest about the 21st of June. I when the sun’s rays are most direct. i Everyone knows we often have our hottest weather in July and August. and conesponliugly our coldest in; January and February. Theoretically I the coldest day ought to come on the I shortest, but. owing to the ability of; the atmosphere. to retain the heat? from summer, it takes some time for; it to become cooled off.
