The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1895-06-30

Society has settled into quiet, in
formal summer-weather pleasures. and
nothing can induce people to do anything
than make the best of the hot weather
The going-away people have not all gone
yet. but they are going, and going fast
and the girls will tell you that they are
saving their stiff. freshly laundried duck
suits for next week. because I'm going
away. you know" 1t is no unusual sight to
see last summers garments doing duty
prior to departure for the springs or else
where. Folks are conscious Of an economi-
cal vein about this season of the year. The
men wish they had more money for their
vacation. The girls wish they had even
more duck skirts and dimitie waists for
their summer campaign.
1t is hoped that the woman's exhibit from
Savannah to appeor in the woman's build
ing at the exposition in Atlanta will COM
pare most favorably with other exhibits
Some interest has been aroused in Savan-
nah on the subject. Some Of the most per-
feet embroidery is done by Savannah la
dies, as. the Kings Daughters fancy work
exhibit last year testified. Savannah
man remarked on his return from the
worlds fair at Chicago that the embroid-
cry was beautiful, but that he had seen
just as beautiful in Savannah worked by
Savannah ladies. The embroidery of the
present day is an art of modern develop
ment, and a tremendous Improvement on
the erstwhile clumsy cabbage, roses and
Il fcfo
ly embroidered in worsteds of brilliant
hue and on velvet that made one long for
an electric fan. Simply to look at it made
one warm. The present art is more like
refreshing French water-colors. Savannah
could make fine exhibit in this line. The
womans building will be the center of at
traction at the exposition 1t will be a gem
and filled with interesting exhibits.
The demand for space in the womans
building at the Cotton States and Interna-
tional Exposition has been so great that
the womans board has been compelled to
ask for an appropriation for an annex. The
matter has received the favorable con-
sideration of the finance committee and
will probably be approved by the executive
board The activity and the amount of la
Dor performed by the women of this de-
partment is phenomenal, considering the
means at their disposal and the results
attained so far are more than astonishing
They have stirred so much interest in most
of the states that an overwhelming de-
mand for space has been made upon the
management.

out of the ranks of the Savannahians

afternoons. Most of the public school
teachers are leaving this week to seek
recuperation in change of climate and
scenery, and by the end of another week

vantages of their homes and the suburban
resorts.

The yachting girl in her sailor costume
Is no unusual sight, and no more becoming
or sensible costume has yet been de-
signed for the fair yachtswoman. Almost

right sort of way. Cheap finery cannot
make any woman look well dressed The
Savannah woman knows this fun well
and acts accordingly.
