THE VIRGIN

Come maidens all, for grace or beauty known, Behold your queen in virgin majesty— The Summer Girl, who sits on August’s throne And holds her court beside the laughing sea.

CUPID’S FORECAST AUGUST

Cupid’s Shooting Season is at its height. Steady weather. Bright skies and continued prevalence of Hot Air. A few storms, violent, but of short duration, and ending in still warmer conditions. Towards the end of the month a slightly depressed atmosphere, but the month will end with a sunlit sea and warm waves. The barometer will register very warm, close weather, and many hearts hitherto unaffected will melt. Look out for Moonstroke and Heartburn.
