THE SCORPION
’Tis said the Scorpion, when hemmed in by Fire,
Mocking the flames, will do herself to death.
So Summer dying smiles upon her pyre
Of maples fanned to flame by Autumn’s breath.
CUPID’S FORECAST
OCTOBER
Slight return of warmer conditions but varying and unreliable. End of the month chilly. The first frost. The leaves of the Time Table begin to turn rapidly. This may be taken as a sign of a change and is followed by a return to a dense, high pressure atmosphere.
