However, as the girls of the Fair :f House were the first to send for them, f their application was the successful one. The girls have promised to chip in one penny apiece 4ach month to keep the fish fat and healthy. Roxana Claii of Weath "Shucks! it ain't noways like hard a o fo'tell de weather! Dese here r leather prophets which makes like a ley knows so much, don't do nothing ut the same thing whut I kin do!" 1 This oration was delivered emphati- t ally by Roxana, the maid at the 1 Voman's Gymnasium. Her mother, irho was taught by her grandmother, \ aught her how to forecast the weather c or the coming year. Indeed, if we arc a o take it from this lady of color, the s ntire race of weather prophets are [uacks, cheats, charlatans, impostors, t lumbugs?in short, in plain and sim- t ilc American, "they just fools people." s "Now all you gotta do is watch de i irst twelve days of de first month, 1 md each one of those days gibs you t ,n idea whut de weather for each t nonth of de next year is gonna be ike. And den, you kin git hints from ? ill kinds o' signs and omens. Dat is," ? imended Roxana with a vigorous, j earning nod, "if you toiows their ? iecret meanings." , Judging by the past New Year's lay, the herald month of the year 1932 will bring us bright and sunny . veather, but get out your furs and accoon coats?for it bids fair to be a period of colo.

"June sholy is de month of brides! tfy cousin, she done got married on he 6th. She sholy did look purty in ler white dress. It's a good omen, too, cause the day started wid a brisk vind?which means new love?and :nded clear and calm?which fo'tells i happy marriage," the prophetess itated with a satisfied air. "July can't seem to make up its nind. It gonna start off coolish like, >ut it'll hit us wid de real heart ob de iummer before it close. An' it ain't lone your quiet months, neider. there's gonna be plenty breezes right oward de end, an' we sho' gonna be hankful for 'em, too." August comes in with all the iplendor and pomp of a conquering ?torm,( but it is softened by time and jatience, and gives way to a fair and ?unny September?truly an Indian summer. Oh, October, the month of mellow :orn and pumpkins, dark blue skies, ind frosty weather, is undoubtedly the irime of life for the year. "November?it'll start off right bright, but it git kinda downhearted seein' as the end is in sight, and it go aut weepin'," and Roxana shook her head sadly. December, too, seems downcast at the thought of the fast approaching curtain which will send out forever the year of 1932, and it dawns with flowing eyes. But? "Shucks 1 she realize she ain't got no need to worry?'cause ain't Christmas the most frolicking time of all the year hers? When Santa Claus come to . de chillun and everybody's happy?" And December dries her eyes and dies a smiling death.
