Even the thought of after-breakfast pipes in front of the fire left me cold.
But now, suddenly, I am reconciled to autumn.
I see quite clearly that all good things must come to an end.
The summer has been splendid, but it has lasted long enough.
This morning I welcomed the chill in the air;
this morning I viewed the falling leaves with cheerfulness;
and this morning I said to myself, Why, of course, Ill have celery for lunch.
There is a crispness about celery that is of the essence of October.
It is as fresh and clean as a rainy day after a spell of heat.
It crackles pleasantly in the mouth.
Moreover it is excellent, I am told, for the complexion.
One is always hearing of things which are good for the complexion,
but there is no doubt that celery stands high on the list.
After the burns and freckles of summer one is in need of something.
How good that celery should be there at ones elbow.
