IIIs 8 THE LAKE SHORE ITS COLD, EH? WHY, IN 1816- \Vell, We'll Just Pass on the Kenilworth Happenings You think this is an unbearably bold Spring? „„'.,• i .i. Huh, President Wheelock of the Wilmette State Bank claims that rec- ords will show that we are having balmy mid-summer weather compared with the spring and summer season of the year 1816. . . And, just by way of substantiating his assertion, Mr. Wheelock hands us a copy of a New England paper established in 1834 and which is authority for the following informa- tion. , - The year 1816 was known through- out the United States and Europe an the coldest ever experienced by any person then living. There are persons in the habit of keeping diar- ies for years and it is from the pages of an old diary begun in 1810 and kept unbroken until 1840, that the information concerning that cold sea - on had been taken. January was so mild that most per- sons allowed their fires to go out and did not burn wood except for cooking. February was not .cold. March came in like a lion and went out "like a very innocent sheep." April came in warm but, as the days became longer, the air became colder and by the first of May there was a temperature like that of win- ter, with plenty of snow and ice. In May the young buds were frozen dead, ice formed half an inch thick on ponds and rivers. By the last of May all vegetation has been "killed" by the cold. June was the coldest "month of *£££JL-- eyer--expe«anc*«S-"'i'; "Ttu3eT" Frost and ice were common as buttercups usually are." All fruit was destroyed. There was ten inches of show in Vermont, seven inches in Maine, three inches in the interior -of- New York. In Vermont the morn- ing of June 17 dawned with the ther- mometer below the freezing point. July came in with ice andjnoKi On -July 4 ice wasTas ~Tflfiick_a.s .._wm- dow glass. Indian corn that had struggled through May and June, gave up, froze and died. August proved the worst month of all. Snow fell near London, England on August 30 ... . . . And that will do» thank you. Home to Be Memorial to u Mrs. Thos. E. D.

As Snugly as a Bandage The flexible Cantilever Shoe, with its skillfully designed instep, fits and supports the foot arch without stiffness or restraint. The fit is so close and true, and so gentle and free, that it has been likened to the effect of a doc- tor's bandage wound lightly but snugly round the instep. If you are on your feet a large part of the day, either standing or walking, you can realize how delightfully com- -fortafelc^and* Tcstfui* such natura^^Qp- port to the arch is going to be when you wear Cantilever Shoes. Should your arches be weak, or on the verge of breaking down, this sup- port of the Cantilever Shoes will give you splendid relief while the free mus- cle action permitted by the flexible shank is gradually strengthening your muscles through exercise. Assuming that your arches are normal, and that you are one of the lucky few to have feet that are in good condition, the Cantilever Shoe will protect your good fortune. No doubt you know that the small bones of the foot are held* in position by muscles and tendons and they will always stay in place if the strength and health of these ligaments is main- tained by exercise and free circulation. So comfortable and so healthful are Cantilever Shoes that good looks would seem to be precluded. But they are as stylish as any other walking oxfords and boots. Come and see how modish they are, and how very comfortable they feel. We are the sole agents in Wil- mette and invite your inspection. We know how delighted are the many women who try their first pair of Cantilever Shoes. Wilmette Shoe Store Z.
