'social life" In Savannah for the past
week has seemed to have no life at all,
save, only. in confusion of packing up and
moving away for the summer. When that
time arrives, there is, indeed, plenty of life,
but can scarcely be called of social nature.
There can't be much socisbilIty midst heaps
of clothes, open trunks and trays, hot
weather and seamstresses; and those friends
and relatives who are not able to lend
really helping hand keep at a safe distance
from the packer. Somehow, the glorious
month of June has not gloried much in
sunshine recently. She and April have been
playing PUSSY Wants Corner" and April,
though the older of the two, got the corner,
leaving June TO catch it next time, II she
can. This rainy season has given, to
the men, more time for serious
political thoughts and arguments
aud to the women less time for walking and
driving, and more time for mending and
finishing up the spring sewing. So, after
all the majority of people have no cause to
grumble about the weather. Still, human
nature is hard to satisfy. when you
have winter you want summer" ETC., seems
ever to hold her own. The coming week
promises to be more cheerful In appearance,
and the city with its beautiful park, streets
and'squares, will be ovelier to look at and
more appreciated than before. 1t is like
tie separation by necessity from those we
love best on earth, and the misunderstood
ings and the applying of wrong motives of
actions, all tend, when properly adjusted
and made right, to strengthen the faith and
friendship and to insure deeper trust and
confidence and higher appreciation of the
loved ones.
