ALLEGHENY SPRINGS, Aug. 81, 1889.
III "hlessings brighten as they take
their fight" then should these past days
indeed be golden-hued in the memory OF
the young, who have had as much plea.
sure as could we'll have been crowded
into n six weeks season. There is no
Paradise for the very young like the old
Allegheny, for here are the formahties
incident to n larger place unnecessary
and unknown. Friendships are formed
in one week which ii would require
season a. a larger place or q year In q
city 10 accomplish.
FRIENDSHIPS MADE.
Not tho ephomeral acquaintanceship
which one expects at waterIng-place,
hut q sincere affinity which is the out
come OF homelike and unpretentious
surroundings, where nature, not art, has
generously bestowed her adornmen's.
1nsensibly one is affected by these
things, and the mask of conventonallty
suited to other places where the num-
bers make It necessary gradually dis
solves before the genial cordiallty which
pervades the company. To those of
0uiet tastes September promises plea
SAINT, calm enjoyment in the society OF q
congenial circle OF charming people
from New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola
and other distant southern cities.

IN the mountains. rides on horseback,
drives, and bowling, finished 10y nights
OF ten hours sleep, so greatly needed
after the unprecedented season OF gay
ety. The maple trees already warn us
hy their crimson and gold foliage that
Indian summer has set in, and the temp
tation is great TO waste the days IN SIT
ting on the lovely lawn under the trees
and dream idle visions under tho IN
flnence of the soft, hazy atmosphere, IN
which we are prone to feel We might hive
forever.
THE SOCIAL WHEEL

vet there have been pleasant evenings
and the dancing is continued with spirit.
