With reveral inches of snow on the ground from the storms of the previous week, the temperature suddenly went up many degrees, leaving the freezing point behind. Then it commenced to rain and rain it has since, converting the snow into a most disagreeable elush and practically all of the city streets into slippery tralls, banked with slush and filled with water.

The gutters are full of water, even over the tops of the little ‘T'rotzky boots the girls are wearing these days. ‘The air is full of rain, falling with depressing consistancy and the fields are covered with slush.
