pany. 1891.
This story gives a natural ana charming
picture of southern hospitality and life In
a southern city on the Gulf coast during
the FIRST reunion of the Blue and the
Gray-the first Experimental Interstate
Fncampmentn "The scents Of southern
summer hung heavy in the air: pine fresh
ness. gum odors, and breath OF shrubs
all overcome, as the soft Gulf breeze stole
on toward the night"
The heroine, daughter of visiting
northern general "a Puritan). meets the
hero. a southerner, fresh from service in
Egypt, and thoroughbred from the crown
of his head to the sole of his foot-a veri-
table tiger" which no costume can dis
guise.
Dslia is q strong-minded young maiden
Of a pure northern type, with genius for
music. The two fall in love. The moon,
soft airs, General Latour's fire and musi-
cal sympathy and Creole stubbornness all
combine against the young girls heart,
and the General, the tiger" wins the
day.
