WEEKDAYS.
[To THE EDITOR OF l'HE " SPE-CV-TOR."] S111,-1 have just read your article on "Weekdays" and your correspondent's singular conception of the same with great interest. Personally I have no clear conception of the week; it seems to form a flight of steps beginning with Monday and ending at the top with Sunday. I always think of Wednesday as a kind of platform—a breathing-space. Of the days individually I have no impression; my sister sees each as a square, Wednesday and Saturday having "lines" drawn through the middle and Sunday white, "not filled in." I think both ideas are a great deal influenced by school routine. What first moved me to write was "B. V. H. B.'s" allusion to colour. I have the same experience, only in regard to numerals. One SLY, and
nine are some indefinite dull colour—grey I think; nought white, two very pale green, three dark blue, four red, five yellow, seven brown, and eight dark green.—I am, Sir, die.,
