The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-06-18


With the choicest OF sweets was filled,
Which she daintlly nibbled while writing
The words that her lover thrilled;
80, long for you now, my darlingl
Without you my life seems drear,
There is never a bit of comfort
For me unless you are nearl"
II
And her lover read the letter,
As he sat in his bachelors den,
With his feet cooked up on the mantel
In the usual way Of men,
With box of cigars at his elbow.
And pipe ana glass near by,
And the smoke clouds wreathed above him
AS he echoed her lonely cry:
80. long for you now, my darlingi
Without you my life seems drear,
There is not bit of comfort
For me unless you are nearl"
-Somerville Journal.
You see, it was sentiment and not the
actual missing, for if the man had come
in the girl would have necessarily un-
curled from her big rocker and enter
tanned the man, and if the girl had come
in the man would necessarily have had to
give her his comfortab chair and thrown
away his cigar, and all those things go
against the grain. The imagina-
ton has a great deal TO do
with it all. If one can only imagine that
they do not miss the absent sweetheart
and enjoy the easy chair and the contents
of the bonbOn box, or cigar box, as the
case may be, why, then, it will be much
easier than signing for what one has not,
and can't possibly have for the signing
The Veeder-Green wedding last
Wednesday being the only society event
of the week, and on account of the popu-
larity of the bride and the
novelty of full dress naval
wedding, was particularly interest
ing, and it was one of the most impress
sive weddings that has taken place in
Savannah this winter. The guests as
sembled in the church as if expectant of
witnessing the marriage service, and not
as is the general custom Of church we'd
dings where an uninterested rabble push
in and create confusion and disorder. The
Savannah girls who acted as bridesmaids
gratifed their friends by looking their
best, and Miss Sadie Anderson and Miss
Sallie McAlpin never appeared to
better advantage than in the becoming
white gowns and carrying pink roses.
The bride wore her handsome wedding
dress of satin with queenly grace and was
an ideal bride as she walked erectly, but
with modestly submissive downcast
eyes from the altar. The reception after
the wedding was attended by many
guests, among them were Gen. and Mrs.
A r. LawtOn, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Cum
ningham, Mr.. and Mrs. Rauers, Gen. and
Mrs. jackson, Mr.. and Mrs. J. J. Wilder
Mt. and Mrs. Gilbert Green, Mrs Lamar.
Mrs. T. NJ. Cunningham, Mrs. Edward
Anderson, MIR. and Mrs. w w. Gordon,
Miss Page Wilder, Miss Meta Anderson,
Mrs Huger. Miss Louise Arnold, Mrs.
Fleming duBignon, Miss jamie Cunning
ham, Mr.. T. Lloyd Owens, Mr.. Crisfeld,
MIR Walter Hartridge, Miss Guile Law
ton, Miss Florence McAlpin, Mr.. w. r.
Leaken, Mrs Paul Haskell Mrs Arnold,
Mrs Appleton, Mrs. Alfred Hartridge,
Mrs Stephen Elliott and others
The season has come for hammocks, and
the graceful, lazy girls will monopolize
all they can. This Is one time when it is
scarcely expected of any one TO be I'M
selfish. First come, first get. Northern
papers say: Hammocks are more luXuri-
Gus than ever before. In their latest form
they include a canopy for keeping off the
sun and net for protection against flies,
mosquitoes and gnats. 1t would seem in
face of these inventions that life out of
doors should take on an added charm, but
somehow the figure of the wax woman re-
Ginning at her ease is not so seductive as
it is meant to be. The space is confined,
and there seems great danger of too sud
den exodus, so that, all things considered,
the hammock in it's familiar state has adj
vantages that these Others lack.
Mrs W. S. Chisholm, who has been
visiting Mr.. and Mrs. T. H. Miller in Au-
gusta, returned to Savannah last Monday.
Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Habersham left
yesterday for Lisburn, Md, to spend a
month.
Mrs. James Hunter and children went
to Tybee last Thursday to spend week.
Mr. H. NJ Conner and family went to
Tybee last Thursday to spend few weeks
at the Cottage Club.
Mrs William Garrard and children
went to Tybee last Thursday and will
spend few weeksat the Cottage Club be-
fore going to North Carolina for the sum
mer.
Mrs. Lester chaperoned Miss Laura
Lester, Miss Nellie Baldwin and Miss An
ME Conner to Tybee last Monday evening
Mrs. Charlie Ellis, Jr., and daughter
went over to BlUffton last Friday.
The unkindly old custom, says the New
York Tribune, which ordered that the
elder sister should dance ''in green stock
ings'' at the wedding of her younger sis
ter may now be revived if one feels heart
less enough to do so, for there are green
stockings in the market, and to what
other use they may be put no one can tell.
The proposed monument to Mrs Wash
ington, to be put up at Mount Vernon by
the Daughters of the Revolution, is meet
ing with substantial encouragement from
the Augusta ladies' Those particularly
interested are Mrs Morgan, Mrs. Charles
H Phinizy Mrs William K. Miller and
Mrs George MacWhOrter.
Miss Page Wilder entertained last Mon
day evening at Tybee. The guests were
Miss Florence McAlpin, Miss Lima Wood
bridge. Miss Cunningham, Mr. ]. Ran
dolph Anderson, Mr.. Leopold Alexander,
MIR. Jack Nisbet and Mr.. Arthur Beverly
Elliott.
1t was remarked once recently by a
Bostonian that were so few modern houses
in Savannah, but if many more go up Like
Mr.. George j, Baldwin's, or MIR. Kehoe's,
or Mr. Kayton's, even the inlmlta Bile
Peachtree street will be rivaled. MIR.
Kehoe's house on Habersham street IS
entirely completed and is an ornament
not only to the street it is on, but the city
can boast another handsome modern home.
It's style is in thorough good taste and the
proportions of the house are as correct as
they are pleasing and attractive. The
house contains many rooms and a
delicious supply of windows. With two
such buildings completed this season as
Mr. Kehoe's house and the Guards ar
mory, Savannah will soon be beyond the
pale of adverse criticism for its uninv1t-
ing houses. Mr.. Kayton's house, on Dray-
ton street, is another acquisition TO the
architectural Improvement of the city.
