Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-04-29

In the fact that ii is to be superseded by the
| pumpkin blossom. A new flower now added
| TO the list of what are known as artistic
| flowers" is the marsh-mallow. The broad,
| open, single leaves give the embroiderer an
! opportunity for the finest work and the most
delicate coloring. The blossoms are pink,
shading into deeper reds, and are so blended
| that the tints melt into one another in
sensibly.
Costume parties, illustrative Of certain
eras in history or of well-known poems or
romAnces, have been very fashionable in
London during the past winter. Mrs. Haweis,
of Regents Park, gave Chaucer party not
| long ago, at which the Canterbury pilgrims
were represented in every variety of costume
that was suitable and appropriate. The walls
CT the dancing-room were hung with tapestry
of the period, the supper table was supported
on trestles, and an effort was even made to
reproduce for the refreshment of the nine
tenth century representatives the viands and
wines that the pilgrims NEST affected. When
will such party be given in Memphis?
The present management of theCity rail-
way are considerably disconnected about the
movement toward combining them to single
track on Beale street, and are considering
the propriety of moving the "Red" line from
that street altogether-that is, turning north
on fernando street to either Gayoso or
Union, thence to Main. They contend that
they cannot operate the business of the
"Red" line on Beale with a single track. 1t
might be suggested to the management that
belt line might be successfully operated with
single tracks on Bealei and other streets they
may adopt-coming together at some point
on Beale or Lauderdale-by which all in
terests will be subserved.
The street railway company experience
considerable trouble from patrons complain
ing about the irregularity in the drivers
answering the bell to stop the cars-some
demanding that the car stop Immediately at
the tap of the bell, while others complain
that the drivers do not pull on to the first
crossing after the signal has been given. OF
course, the drivers cannot be blamed where
there is such variety of opinions TO be
humored. There is a way, however, in which
all can be accommodated, which is for the
company to instruct the drivers to stop in
stantly at the sound of the bell at any inter-
mediate point between streets, and only at
crossings on the opposite sides OF streets. |
When the public once becomes educated to |
these regulations the cause OF complaint will |
be efectually removed
