You all know it, but it may relieve
your feelings to see it in print. Cor
dova has come into its own again; it
has the reputation of always being
dripping wet, and so it has ceased to
strive to evaporate a convicton as
deep-rooted as this. In short, the
rainy days have set in. Some poet
has said, “It isn’t raining rain to me,
it's raining roses down,” but said poet
has never tried to calculate the shal
low parts of Cordova mud puddles.

The after-Lenten season was auspi

Trio orchestra.

Wednesday night at the Red Dragon
Club House the children of St.

cake were served. It is planned to
make these weekly entertainments
part of the regular program.
