In the former times, when a major- ity of the people of the land were coun- .try-born and country=bred, practically ev- erybody . knew what “Indian . Summer” meant when it was spoken of. = But.cer- tain things which I have lately seen in print lead me to suspect that there are some in_the younger generation who do not know that simpic ®ict. Within a week I've ween two mentions in print which were = phrased in such words as to make it clear that the Wwrit- ers did not know the truth about “In- dian Summer.” - Once, in a story, a character of the story was quoted as planning to do_something “during Indian Summer.” Quite as he might have plan- ned t0 go to the mountains “during Sep- tember”” In the other case a newspa- per item coolly announced that “Indiani Summer” began on a certain saint's day| and lasted ten days. In the interests of popular informa- tion and reasomable accuracy in the use of language, somebody ought to teach these unfortunates who don't know any better what “Indian” Summer” really is —and what it also isn't. To begin with, it sn’'t a season at all in the sense in which summer.and au- tumn are seasons. It has no fixed date for beginning and no fixed period of du- ration. 1t is not even: like'a “moyable feast,” uncertain of date bu' certain of appearance, some = time. F@ I 'have known years which had no “indian Sum- mer,” not anything faintly “suggesting| one. In_ New England’s early days, when the English settlers were wholly ignor- ant of the country's peculiarities, . they noticed that frequently in the late fall, after a period of cold days and ice-mak- ing nights, there came a brief interlude| of warmer, almost summery weather, The Indians, from whom the whites had learned to raise corn, called this inter- val, when it appeared, “SQUAW 'S mmgoT" because it enabled the squaws wno nad| neglected to garner their maize duringj the regular-harvest season a chance to; make up for their- failure. But the whites preferred;” to call it ‘Indian Summer,” becauke of its appearing to| them to be a peculiariy Indian institu- tion. We must remember that maize or In- dian corn was a new plant to the Pil- grims.. When They spoke of “‘corn” thay had always meant wheat rye, barley, oats and similar .cereals, which they had been accustomed to seeing.grown in Eu- ropean cougeries. But maize was a new thing to them. Their inability either to obtain_supplies of ‘other cereals from the old home or t~ make them lroduce fully! under new w 4 | conditions, forced them to acgept for .uod the Indian’s grain. To distinguish it from their pre-existent idea of corn, they called' it “Indian” corn; a name which has clung to it eten to this day, when its production in this country is greater than that of any two other forms: of grain combined. Tt was from the Indians that. they' learned how to save the seed; how to plant it “when the oali-leaf is the size of a mouse’s ear”; how to fertilize it by dropping a her- ring or alewife in the hill before planting the seed; how to “stook” it, husk it, crush it into ‘“samp,” etc. Sometimes, when' the fall snows came: on unusually eariy, .the squaws, who did most of the Indians' agricultural work, hadn’t got the ears all gathered, and then they had to take ‘their chance of a ‘“squaw summer” coming along to save it. So much for the history of the phrase, as it comes down in unbroken tradition through nine gen- erations of the John Farmer family from -the first immigrants back before 1630. But that doesn’t tell what “Indian Summer” actually is. Well, as has al- ready been said, it isn't 2 fixed season nor even a moveable feast. Our fall season includes the three months of Sep- tember, October and November. The true fall starts with September 21st and holds till . winter succeeds, December 21st. Thus it will be seen that the month of November is wholly within the “fall” no matter how that season is reckoned. But, during the latter part of Novem- ber, it not infrequently happens that there is a sudden reversal in the steady advance of winter. The wind breathes balmily up from the south, the clouds take on'a warmer tone, the frozen crust of the top =oil thaws out, a few belated birds cheer up and begin to hunt for v s over the brown fields, hu- manity S its . sweaters and mit- tens and even takes off its coat, if it tackles anything like real work. Most characteristic of all signs a thin haze creeps over the horizon, daily thickening till it lies, like a protecting and warm- ing blanket, over the entire country. That is “Indian Summer.” It may come any time between 'lection day and Christmas—I have known a Christmas day which was not only green” but as comfortably warm as any day in September—And it may not come at all. I have knewn years when there was no semblance of “Indian Summer.” Snows began to come in October and re- mained till April. Once, on this very farm, we lost our entire turnip crop. A deep snow came the first week in' Octo- ber and never In-lted off enough to sNbw ever the turniy #ps till the succeeding April. It is needless to say that there was no “Indian Summer” that fall. 1 have never kept, nor do I know any- one who ‘has kept any worth-while rec- ord of the comings and goings and stay- ngs of “Indian Summer.” All T can say —and all, T think that anyone can say with assurance, is that it comes when it comes and goes When it goés. no certainty when it will come, or how long it will last, or that it will gome at all. n is, from unconfirined memories of seventy yea that it comes much oftener than it misses.

If anybody had only written records ex- tending over fifty vears or so their tes- timony would 'ba worth more than any man’s unsupported recollections, But, whatever be the exact facts about its vagaries, there is nothing about them to give any one the right to speak of it as of a regular season, or to fix before- hand any date for its coming. It comés when it comes. We wake up some morning to find it here. If we have just ordinary good sense, we humbly thank the Lord for it; gather up' (n¢ odds and ends which a busy work-sea- son has left lying loosely around ; take a last ramble over the pasture hills and through the rustling leaves of the woods’; perhaps mark the tract where we shall, later; cut our year's stove-wood; and, most essential of all, see that the house is “banked up,” the barns put in shape. to profect the animals during win- ter's cold and snow, and their forage se- cured under cover or. in ‘weather-defying stacks. It comes when it comes. Then, usual- 1y before we have fully accomplished all these tasks I have mentioned—it goes. As we waked one morning to find it here in grateful relief, so we wake sofne other morning, three or, four days or a week later to find it gone, the ground again frozen, the clouds again lowering and cold, the brooding haze swept away as if it had never been, and desolate win- ter once more master of a congealed world. _ Indeed, some of us older fellows view its coming with a certain dread.. For, as any particularly clear and deep-skied summer’s day is known to Old Experi- ence as a “‘weather-breeder,” and is emp- tied of the enjoyment it ought to carry by reason of the coming storm it fore- bodes, so many of us shiver a little in anticipation of the wintry blasts which “Indian Summer” alm invariably pre- We are usually whoped over, end - by, the sudden- ness of the change. It's a usefal and seemly thing, when “Indian Summer” establishes its brief and undeserved reign, to lay off some of the top-hamper with which you haye clothed yourselves against usual Novem- ber weather. You do not need it; it is even uncomfortable in the abundant warmth of the whole outside universe. But, when you lay it aside, don't cover It up too deeply. The medium-weight un- “Indian Summer” holds wiil clammy insufficiency against chill which will follow that brief inter- regnum—which will follow it in a' night or in an hour, without warning and with- out regard for human comfort or wel- fare. You'll want those flannels again, and want ’em mighty bad. Keep . 'em handy for immediate assumption at a minute’s notice. It isn't alone city people who make mistakes in talking about “Indian Sum- mer.” Within the last week I've three different callers ask: “Is this our Indian Summer?” just because the clouds had broken away for an hour or two and the sun had come out. Which _gimply shows that observation, even'of infimate surroundings, is not so tniversal nor so close as it should be, even in the coun-"| try. There's no mistaking the real “Indian Summer,” when it comes and if it comes at.all. I don't know whether it is a pure- ly North American occurrence, or Wheth- er it is shared by other continents. Some- where insthe back of my head, amongst much other unarranged and unclassified matter, there is floating a dim idea that 1 have somewhere and sometime read-of a similar spell of weather, known in cer- tain parts of rural England as “St. Mar- tin's summer.” But I can’t trace it nor, indeed, am I sure of anything about it. be of a Anyway, it Is ours when we have it; ours to enjoy and to make the most of. “Carpe diem ™ said the Lati “Go it while the going is good,” says Young America; both meaning about the same thing.
