The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-10-14

glowing compliment 10 the musical people
OF tho city, who thus allow themselves TO
rest under the imputauon OF being cap
tious jealous class of people. There is
some foundation for the charge, but il is
not too broad and deep to be removed.
| Memphis should have society equal in
membership and enterprise to those any
where in the South. How much real and
enjoyable entertainment it would afford
those OF our citizens who almost worship
at the shrine OF music, yet have not been
blessed with the highest order OF talent or
the opportunity TO cultivate what little
nature has given them. BY judcous and
intelligent management an organization
might easily be built up TO be national in
its influence. Oh, these jealousies!"
The broad-brimmed soft hats, once the
style for men, and now fast creeping into
fashion for ladies' wear, are amazingly be-
coming, and add new grace and charm
TO every pretty head they cover. Some OF
them look fairly bewitching under the
broad brim Of their hcad-gear. The
L0ungcr iavors the passage of n law pro-
hibiting ladies from wearing hats that
make even a plain face look cute
at is a mystery to me how little men
know Of even their own politics until they
become candidates for office" remarked
Mr.. w. A. Collier TO The Loungcr, after
reading the classlications Oi those on the
reform" ticket published yesterday.
