FOLIAGE OF THE SEASONS
Magnificent Color Maturity That
Comes With the Advance of
. the Months.
The foliage of summer is generally
mature, green, sober. There is a
certain warmth and gayety about the
leaf progress of June and early July,
and a vast variety in shades, as well,
so that any body of trees and shrubs
of varying kinds will display any
thing from the youngest light yellow
leaves of the Norway maples to the
deep, even green of the horse chest
nut. Toward the first of August the
leaves are quite or nearly full grown,
and they have settled down to their
real work of elaborating food for the
trees that bear them.
My water color friend, Little, has
discovered in this color maturity an
other confirmation of his theory that
there is a sort of color compensation,
a chromatic balance of the seasons,
J. Horace McFarland writes in the
Countryside Magazine. In spring
the air and the ground are cool,
though slowly absorbing heat, and
the leaves and flowers are warm in
hue—-*there are the really hot colors
of the tulips, the yellows of some tree
blossoms, and so on. As the season
warms, the foliage and flower hues
become in general cooler, until in
summer we have the deep green of
mature leaves, the deep blue of the
white dotted sky and the blues and
whites of the garden. When cooler
nights begin to come the summer fo
liage is likely to assume hints of
brown, the corn takes on the colors
of maturity, and we have the deci
dedly warm-hued chrysanthemums,
purple asters, and the like, to com
pensate. The sharp weather of win
ter demands all possible heat from
nature’s color scheme, and we have
it in the browned leaf, following the
brilliant and not cool hues of au
tumn, in the corn shock and the bare
tree stem, and even in the shadows
on the snow.

A DISADVANTAGE.
“Truth,” said the readymade phil
osopher, “is stranger than fiction.”
“Yes,” replied the cynic; “but it
suffers under the disadvantage of
! seldom being so well expressed.”

“Here's a scientist says he has
found radium in ordinary dew.”
“Yes, and already automatically
stored up in grassy banks.”

He—That young widow has very

She—Yes, I heard she was some
thing of a kleptomaniac.
SO HE COULD.
She—Don’t you think there is a
change in the weather?
He—Yes; I can even feel the
change in my pocket.
QUITE OBVIOUS.
