presenting III. numerous and varied -
fractions and the noted mountain resorts
Offering m invitation to every pleasure
seeker, one continues to visit st. Terssa,
. p ace without scenery and many o,heri
attractions? This was the query OF
person on the wharf the other day. !
can only reply little doggedly, perhaps
that at least our little summer resort, iike
the beautiful rainbow with it, delicate
hues, reaching across the heavens after .
rainy evening, and like the beautiful pic
lures Of art, admit Of no analysis OF their
colors that blend so beautifully and COM
bine 60 perfectly in forming sight that
awskens to activity our higher and nobler
thoughts.
In attempting to present to one unac-
quainted with Teresa's charms, true
picture Of the place, / find that my vo-
cabulary pleads its inadequacy OF ex-
preston, and offers only a few words and
signs, poverty-stricken in meaning, de-
void of force and mere empty sounding
cymbals.
Referring to its scenery, one cannot
help but say it is grand and sublime
intermingling of natu raj beauties. Poised
on high bluff, with the waters of the
Gulf in front, every wave of which pos
sesses the diamonds brilliancy, with the
ever beautiful soft sky not far above
and with gentle decline towards both the
eastern and western horizon, Teresa
furnishes picture rarely equaled. While it
IS true that the houses are of rural design
and display no attempt OF architectural
beauty, ii is also true, undeniably. that
congeniali'y, hospitality and hee-ty
welcome is extended to all corners by every
one.
The first visit of a person to this
place causes him 10 feel a twinge OF
regret that he bad not sooner bec' me
acquainted with it's sweets and enjoyed
the quiet and ease of this beautiful,
bountiful, restful paradise, SO especia ly
characteriz, d by its breezes and sweet
to-do-nothing charms.
In leaving off describing place SO
sweet, so beautiful, SO sublime, I enter
upon task still sweeter, still more beau
tiful and still more sublime-the descrip-
ion of the ladies, who deserve volumes
of praise and that insufficient. Like
Co'ericge, before the rosy lips of day
were visible, who stood before Mount
Blanc and felt his inability in expressing
this mountains beauties, l recognize the
stupendous task before me. I hardly
know how to begin without offense; nev-
ertheless l will venture the suggestion
that each one is as beautiful as beauty
can make; as sweetly disposed as could
be wished, and each one appears to be
he pink Of perfection in the eyes of the
opposite sex. AS al evidence of their
populari y note in my observations
that there have been some young men
who have theorized, seriously, toe, and
have concluded that life can be sus-
tanned by breathing salt air and feasting
on some hing which most people have
experienced, and something | know not
what to t. I'M. The only way to derive
a reasonable conclusion as to how life is
maintained among them, must be the
exceeding great pleasure that the young
ladies' presence affords them. OF course
must not be III derslood to mean that
any one young lady thinks more of one
young man than another.
On Wednesday evening an excursion, in
honor OF Misses Evelyn Winthrop and
Ida Meginniss' birthdays, was given Oh
Alligator point. After the arrival at our
destination the amusement began. The
couples reminded one folcibly of two
magnets attracting one another. Every
one understands the meaaing of this.
The party strolled over to the lone pine
but were prevented from proceeding further
on account of threatening squall. Af;er
the varied sports, the crowd re-
turned and had magnificent lunch en-
the wharf.
will make mention of the iced tea
which was of an excellent quality. The
superior flavor that it possessed was due to
the new process used in sweetening. InfoI-
nation as to the preparation may be OBJ
tanned from Mr.. L. D. B. jr. as he seems
thoroughly posted.
Another excursion which has gained
prominence was the scolloping party of
this evening. The entire trip from be-
ginning to end will always be remember
ed by the islande S. especially the part in
which four popular married ladies had to
be extricated from mud waist deep by
means of block and tackle. The pariici-.
pants are inclined to deny it, but prob
ably there is some little verify in the
rumor, as Mr. L. S. P. youches for ii.
