The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1895-08-18

This is the dullest period Of the year in
Savannah-so many people are away and
so many houses are closed. The days APP
pear to be long and the weather is rather
warm. One hasn't sufficient energy to
dude up-in street dress and see what is
going on. or to go to see the few of one s
circle of friends left in the city. The
evening is the time that liv-
ing is really pleasure, for,
plenty in one way or another. The out
of-town resorts are much frequented. and
there breeze refreshes. while the marsh
and water are a welcomed sight after the
locked and barred appearance of the unin-
habited esidenees with their inhospitable
barbados built over doors that in the
''season" are open TO guests innumerable.
One wonders why the women. old and
young. married and unmarried, should
shake off the dust of Savannah for so
many Weeks, and leave their male friends
and relatives TO get on the best they
can. For without the girls the hours pass
slowly One does not wonder that the
men, being deserted so long, fall into the
habit of being Independent of the girls,
and are satisfied with their club life, and
that they flock together, leaving the girls
to do the same. The girls, of course, enjoy
seeing new faces and making new friends,
but they could not meet a nicer set of
men that they leave right here at home.
The Cotton States and Intern ational Ex-
position, to open in Atlanta next month,
will be the stopping place for homecoming
summer travellers. Savannah has Just re-
oil na baf ba mini no
really worth seeing. The woman's build
ing will be the gem of the exposition The
Atlanta women have remained at home
and have worked with an object in view,
and already the results are being seen as
the building nears completion. Only few
real workers are left in Savannah. unfor-
tunately, who take an interest in the Sa-
vannah exhibit and so many are out Of
town who would be able workers that
Savannah will have TO hustle TO make "a
creditable exhibit. Exposition reports
say that Mrs. W. D. Grant has secured
from the commissioner of patents an ex-
hibit of inventions of women. This in
cludes a large number of inventions with
125 models. Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood has
consented to deliver a lecture on the In
ventions of Women" on Oct p. The ex-
hfbit viii be one of the most interesting
in the women's department. 1t will be
the first exhibit of women's inventions
ever made at an American exposition, and
was only secured after untiring efforts
by Mrs. Grant. 1t will be separate and
distinct from the general exhibit of pat
ents, which Mr. Seygnore will make in
the United States government building.
This will be an interesting exhibit and an
inspiration to women in general. who
have heretofore been satisfied to be con-
sumers. and not bread-winners.
The department of colonial relics will
of the Cotton States and international
Exposition The most interesting part of

relics. Among other things in this collec-
ton are pictures of Gen. Oglethorpe and
Gen. fabersham, colonial governors, and
also the colonial drum which was used in
battles at Savannah, Cowpens and else
where.
Qybee is Savannah's summer annex,
