The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1895-08-04

The term Summer toggary' could not
se applied to the street costumes OF the
Bull street summer girls Savannah
streets present the appearance of sum
mer resort. judging from the strictly COM
nonsense costumes one sees when the
promenaders come out in the evenings
They are immaculate white duck or pique
skirts with any variety of pink blue or
white shirt-waists and white sailor hats.
That is the usual combination Of the
times. Occasionally one meets pale green
and white combination that is fresh and
cooling in its appearance. But the very
sweetest summer gown worn this season
by a Savannah girl is at present being
worn by its owner al Chautauqua, y. Y.
This gown was worthy the original con-
ception of Worth and would have pleased
the artistic taste of the picturesque Gains
borough. In reality the gown was com.
structed of pale apple green dimity, but
st was suggestive Of early spring butter
cup leaves.
To all appearances the city is dull,
judging from the small crowds seen on the
streets, and yet there are innumerable
surprise parties going on in the late even
ings and now and then summer time
bachelor halls are the scene Of hospitality,
with the requisite chaperon and occa-
sionaly an iced melon toftener not even
that for refreshment. The yacht club
is the favorite resort and especially ON
moonlight evenings. However warm it
may be. run to the yacht club has the
desired cooling effect
On the return of the summer travellers
they viii find several improvements in
the city and many residences completed
The October grand change will see the
moving of some prominent families into
new quarters. Some original mind has
suggested that a social directory be made
out each October TO be kept with the
visiting list, but If one keeps up with
the Morning News the social directory
would be useless.
Piazza parties" have been spoken of
as popular summer evening amusements.
but with the small "stoops" of the older
homes the parties are necessarily Qrom
want of room) limited to two for COM
pany. With Savannah's innate love Of
hospitality it is queer that the modern
homes are not bdilt with Spanish-lSe
piazzas, broad enough to contain wicker
divans, potted plants, tall palms and as
many friends as one wishes.

The Music Culture Club is developins
into a reality. If it succeeds in its plan
Savannah will be up to date next sea
son with amusements of a high grade.
The Lyceum was such a popular inno-
