About the only pleasure. it seems. ac-
cOrding to one who has been there, that
is Afforded by the interior Georgia sum
mer resorts. is that Of colOniNng a large
number Of people in a small hotel, where
for week or two they can have the en-
joyment Of seeing one another early and
often. They come and 60. and, as a rule
at the end Of their two or three weeks
stay they can always tell YOU who they
saw there, that they had a good time. and
that they feel much better than when
they left the city, but when you ask them
what they did, or had To do. the reply is
almost Invariably nothing TO speak Of"
AT the seashOre resorts they can enjoy
surf bathing, fishing, sailing, or other
sports incident TO life at the seaside, but
at an interior resort, Savannahian, who
has Just returned from his vacation, says
there seems little to do but sit around and
wait for the time to pass. About the
only advantage seems to be in getting
change Of climate, and whether the
change IS always beneficial one is hard
matter to say. One gets a change OF eli
mate, fresh air, pure spring water, and
generally little else of anything al least
that is substantial TO the palate, accord
ing to the stories of a good many who
have been there. 1t seems strange that
when II ey can all be obtained in and
around Savannah.
one summer bOarder tells Of the resort
he visited, that the climate was so change
able that IL was calculated to give one
pneumonia. One day it was hot as blazes
ana the next 1t was comfortable by a fire
In the hotel Office.
A Savannahian, who has just returned
from one of Georgia s favorite resorts, said
N Of no
crowded condition of the hotel and the
vice versa condition of the table. The
resort had been so much advertised that
people were flocking there from all sec
'tions. The hotel rapidly filed up, cots
were placed on the back veranda, in the
halls, over the kitchen, and he thinks the
roof and back yard were called into requi-
sltlon. But this was not all The night
before he left he wanted boiled egg for
supper.
1--WE can't give it to you, boss, " said the
waiter.
And why not?" asked the guest.
Cause we scrambles all de eggs, was
the reply.
We'll, can't you have me one boiled?"
Nav sir" said the waiter, 1--WE
scrambled 'em all this afternoon. We
scrambled a bushel of 'em at 5 O'Clock,
and we's warmin' of 'em over fer sup
per-"
This was too much for the guest, and
when he found that the chicken he was
eating for breakfast had been fried the
night before and a suspicious look about
the coffee that led him TO believe it had
been treated in the same manner, he
made arrangements to leave at once.
A story is told of another Georgia re-
sort; this time it was near the mountains,
where there were two rival hotels. Oneof
them put on great deal of style and
offered its guests French bill of fare, or
rather bill with the absence of the fare.
The guests of the other hotel found this
out In some way or other, and complained,
some of them jokingly remarking they
would leave unless they, too, were
given an up to date menu.
Finally one of the bills-of-fare of the
rival hotel was obtained and the guests
came to the conclusion they could get
along without it. Among other things
were Potatoes a la pommes de terre.
The French menu was the effort of the
African cook. who was strikinglv lacking
in the language of France
