  14.  Wednesday.   Day like unto life, opening sunny
exhilarating and hopeful, to close dismally.   How
I detest and fear wet weather.  The rainy circle of Dante�s
Inferno would be an awful fate for me.   I can�t
be happy in wet weather .   Perchance however it
might be endurable � home, fireside and loving faces.
