after to-day until the opening Of the so
cial season in October. In the meantime
the coming and going of well-known peo-
pie will be noted in the personal column. ]
The whole city appears to be taking a
rest. There are houses that have a re-
poseful air, with the big front doors bar
ricaded against intrusion and in some in
stances vines have grown over these false
doors, so il looks as il it had been stand
ing so for months instead of only a few
weeks. And, speaking Of vines, the
growth in Savannah is marvellous. You
far-away Savannah people, you would
love 70 see your city now, wouldn't you
1t never looked prettier than in this July.
Heavy rains have brought out rapid and
luxurlant foliage and grass. The squares
are like emerald carpeted haunts, in the
MIDST Of the Druids' groves. The stone
houses, vine-covered and shady looking
are a rest to the eye from the
light shining on the asphalt. The small
boy has vanished from the streets, leaving
the squares unmolested and beautiful.
Such thing is possible as walking up
Bull street and meeting half a dozen per
sons. Those few left at home have the
good sense TO stay in from the heat of day,
and take their outing either in the cool of
the day, or with runs out of town.
And these runs out of town and the hos
pitahty of the suburban resorts, makes
summer life a good thing. What better
could one want than to realize that before
them was q day OF absolute idleness,
safely housed in a spacious home overlook
ing the river, surrounded by a garden
filed with hydringias, lilies and a sage
palm of over fifty years Of age AS the
tide comes in visions of the path fill ones
mind with a pleasant anticipation. a lunch
of fresh, country fare; warm rolls, snowy
white curds, and then the cantaloupes that
have not been toasted on the street.
Then the swimming and such splashing
and adventures; IS only gay crowd of
young people know how 10 enjoy it. The
exhilaration Of the swim; afterward a
siesta in the hammock and sweet girl TO
play one of LISTS rhapsodies
or Chopins waltzes. This is
living and breathing, and not even
the springs, the mountains or the coast
can hold anything better.
But you summer travellers. you are
making new conquests, new friends and
chance acquaintance, and will come back
home refreshed. You who are at home,
with time on your hands, there's some
thing for you TO think about, and that is :
The w0man's department of the cotton
states exposition to take place in our
capital city in 1895, OF course there are
public spirited women who will take
eagerly to this, but there are others who
will say, What good will it do me person
allyl" and the only answer will be, that it
can do lots Of good individually. At the
woman's building in Chicago last year. in
the sales room, S42, 600 were cleared from
the sale of woman's work aud the most
popular articles We're small hand-painted
glasses. picture frames, and INSIGNIFICANT
things, considered casually, but eagerly
bought as souvenirs. Now in Savannah,
where there are many artistic women
and women with taste, where the en-
broidery is beautiful, the hand-paintine
the same, and even practical substantials
preserves, etc, could all have Il place in
the department. The only expense would
be the transportation, and the bene
ut might be great, getting orders or sell
ing the articles placed there With q
long summer and a spirit of excelling, Sa
vannah women's work could take prom.
inent place in the exhibits. The commit
tee appointed for Chatham county consists
of Mrs. Charles H. OlmsIead. Mrs w. w
