TELEGRAPH GIRL READS SIGNS.
And Says There's Winter Weather
Coming -- How She Knows.
"I predict a long and severe winter," remarked the telegraph girl at the Savoy Hotel yesterday. "How do I know? Oh, by reading the weather signs.
"When I was a wee little girl and lived out on a farm I always could tell what the winter would be like by noting how thick the bark was on the new twigs and observing how large were the supplies of nuts the squirrels stowed away It took me a long while to find out the meaning of the signs in the city where there are no trees or squirrels. But I'm on now. What's the secret?
"Why, there have been three policemen standing in here for two days bundled up in their overcoats and leaning against the radiators."
