The midsummer season IS at its hight
Of quiet. informal, negligee entertaining.
Small parties Of four or more are al
most daily features Of Tybee's programme,
and afternoon and evening games OF whist
are popular warm-weather recreations.
Last Monday afternoon the Cadets Skin
mish drill brought out the summer girls
in surprising numbers The park and
extension and even Bull street presented
a May-week appearance. While the stay
at-homes are enjoying the novelty Of a
quiet time a breeze and the luxury Of their
own homes, the Savannah travellers write
of mountains poisoning with rhododen-
drens, Of lakes bright with the yellow bios
SONS of the water chinkapin and pink To-
tus. Others of crowded hotels. icy cold
water for swimming and of being out Of
the world, because of not getting their
Morning News as fresh and as prompt
as their breakfast.
The Savannah summer travellers are
scattered far and wide from their native
city. They penetrate the heart Of foreign
forests and mountains, hunting attractive
country spots and finding ideal villages.
A popular Savannah belle writes as fol-
lows: 1--WE are now in very attractive
part Of France, Touraine. the garden spot
as it has been very appro-
priately called. Within few
miles of here are some of the
most beautiful chateaus of this coun-
try. and in going to them one passes
through fields of wheat and oats. inter
woven with poppies and bluets. A curious
feature of the country is the houses Of
the peasant built in the rocks. You will
see a hillside cut off perpendicularly and
1t will have windows and doors, then at
the top a chimney coming through, so
these people actually live underground; Of
course these are only the poorer classes.
There are many who have comfortable
homes, surrounded by acres of grape
vines"
1t IS stated that a very interesting part
of the exhibit to be made by the depart
ment Of household economies of the wo-
mans board, at the Cotton States and IN
ternational Exposition, will be cooking by
electricity. Electric stoves will be shown
in operation, and the process fully ex-
planned.
1t is rumored that a very charming and
popular belle of Savannah will be in
charge Of one of the cooking departments;
if so, it will doubtless prove the most at
tractive part of the exposition to innum-
cradle hungry visitors from neighboring
cities, as we'll as from Savannah.
