We bask in the winter sunlight and enjoy it, and we write prose and pie) iv about our sun-kissed land. But when the great Monarch of Day throws his beams upon us in mid August we begin to complain and the only thing we hear is "Oh, how hot it is." Hut why? Do we remember how much we are indebted to the genial rays Of the sun? To the sun we owe our light and heat; it is,not only the center of our planetary system'; it is the source and ruler of our lives-. It draws up water l'rom the ocean and pours it down in rain to fill the rivei's and refresh the plants, it raises the winds which purify the air and waft our ships over the seas; it draws our carriages and <1 rives our steam engines for coal ? but the heat of former ages stored up for our use. Animals live and move by the sun's warmth; it in s piles the song ftf birds, paints the t!?,uvrs and ripens the fruit. Through i' the trees grow. For the beauties . ?f nature, for our food and drink, for our clothing, for our light and life, ioi the very possibility of our exist ence we are indebted to the sun. Them let us accept the heat uncomplain inglv, look at the discomforts through rose- tinted glasses as the society editor does when she is writing up certain social functions and sees only what is fair and lovely in the Garden of Kden ? a fulfillment of dreams with everything as it should be. The rose-. tinted glasses have effectively blinded her to the trail of the serpent that has marred the beauty of surround ings that hold happy memories of the beauty and chivalry of the past and should have an answeripg echo in the present. Sometimes one pos sesses the happy faculty of seeing things as they should be and not as they really are.
