Autumnal Tints Have Lost Their Brightness
Many maples have lost all their leaves and are shrunk all at once to handsome clean gray wisps on the edge of the meadows, where, crowded together, at a distance they look like smoke. This is a sudden and important change, produced mainly, I suppose, by the rain of Sunday, l0th. The autumnal tints have commonly already lost their brightness. It lasts but a day or two.
