She might greet ;YOU with the warm, seductive scents of June and, just as you are about to seize her, retreat into a frame of mind so chilly that you're rliving for your recently dis, carded woollies. In July, she turns on the charm full blast, clutching you in a sizzling embrace that makep your head reel and your feet falter, But when you throw caution to the winds and submit yourself entirely to the affair in Short, when you go on yOUr holidays -- she has a change of mood and weeps for two weeks without pause.

On Labor Pay, leaving you fru st rate d, exasperated, ex, haunted .and broke, she smiles once, enigmatically, and heads south to look for fresher lovers and bigger bankrolls. Ah, she's a bad elle, old Mes- merancla Summer, She delights in Making kids whiny pr sick, giving them sunburn, and di- recting them into patches of poison ivy. This for the sake of tormenting their mothers. She doesn't like women, you see, That is, young women. And her malice towards them is easily grasped by looking at the costumes she persuades them to wear at the beaches and in town. I wouldn't be surprised to hear her chortling merrily about the topless swim suit silliness, which she doubtless started. Teenagers she likes to tease. She fills them with mysterious urges and yearnings which make them drive like retarded orang- outangs, dance intheirbarefeet amid broken bottles and rattle, snakes, and fall in love with people who should be put away in institutions. She's not pure evil, though. She has a rather soft spot for the older folk. She warms their arthritic joints with her hot, tender hands. She fills their lonely hearts with pleasure in her loveliness. And she reminds them, in subtle fashion, of the days when they knew her long ago, when they were young and passionate themselves. Every time I feel the cool, smooth hands of children after swimming, every time I walk a lonely beach and see lights across the bay, every time I hear the silken rustling of her garments in the evening trees, I know I am once again inthrall to that wonderful witch — the Canadian summer.
