The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-04-29

Sunday resort, and many devout church
goers stop to rest IN its breezy shade on
their way to church. 1t is frequented by
young and old alike; the solicitious
nlammas are as much at home there as
the embryo debutante; and the passe
young man is there; the girl of the period
of course, she belongs everywhere; and
yet there are not seats enough for all.
The round benches are apparently the
most popular, and on warm days walking
is not as desirable as a bench. There is
room for more benches, and the powers
that be should provide more. Savannah
is growing and the seating capacity needs
-''- to be increased accordingly The extern
sion also has plenty of room for rustic
seats.
Miss Pasco, of Florida, is the guest Of
Mr. and Mrs. o. E. Cohen, and will this

favorite wherever she goes.
MIR Martin Levisson left last Sunday
for his home in Gothenburg, Sweden,
and his many friends here hope that he
will return TO Savannah.
Miss Lucy Huger, of Charleston, will
be the guest of Miss Elizabeth Haskell

The Hermitage last Tuesday after
noon, from till o'clock was an ami
mated scene of society Out-of-town. The
picturesque grounds, with the avenue Of
ancient oaks, are a fitting surrounding for
the ancestral mansion; and a glimpse Of
the river near bv is delightfully."- sugges-
tive of boating. The many carriages that
stood about the grounds prepared one for
the Comminglng of voices that be-
spoke the rooms filled with guests,
almost to overtowing. The handsome
rooms lighted with soft colOred
lamps were irresistibly attractive.
The many Dresden china lamps, the ele-
giant center pieces, embroidered in pink
chrysanthemums, the dainty china and
heavy silver, all contribute to the com
fort and elegance of this lovely home.
