The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-09-20


e.,ide6 irnrnutable in an unknown land,
Those fair arcades in rainbow wise did
stand,
Whose halls Win SUNSET clouoS were
rooted above;
.D,,+ was II shut in an enchanted grove,
Vim traekless labyrinths on either hand
IA wilderness deep in desert sand,
And no man finds the way to the doors
thereof.
Then let me slumber well, and wake me
That in dreams again may find the clue
And pass upon the road none ever knew,
Or having haply known, straightway dor
got;
And enter in upon a rose.hid floor
And dwell dreamer of dreams for ever
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Iaughable story, says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat, is told Of the pre-
dicament in which a party of young
ladies and gentlemen, duly chaperoned,
found themselves when they wanted to
,ol,a q surf bath on the beach of Ship
leland and the manner in which they
extricated themselves therefrom. The
.+orv is told by a member of the party,
ubo has since returned to New Orleans.
Il seems that a number of young people,
tired of the smooth waters of the sound,
made up their minds to make trip to
shin Island for the express purpose of
+akinr a surf bath. party was duly
organ.zed. sailing vessel of small size
was chartered for the occasion, chape-
rons were secured, and one morning
bright and early start was made. Every
member of the party had his or her bath
ing suit when they boarded the boat.
The trip to Ship Island was made with
onr incident. and the eager young people
rushed to the beach to find a strong wind
blowing in shore and genuine combers
rolling in. 1t was right at this stage OF
the game that a predicament that had
ambushed itself in the sands of Ship Is
land became manifest. There was no
hath houses on the beach, and there was
no cabin on the boat. How were the
bathing suits to be donned? For awhile
thew all scratched their heads in bewilder-
ment and all idea of a surf bath was
about abandoned, when a bright idea
struck one of the chaperons.
How many umbrellas are there in the
crowd?' demanded She
About ten were instantly in evidence.
The ladies took half of them, the gen.
tlemen the other half at her direction,
and, in less than it takes to tell it, feml-
ninity was a couple of hundred yards
down the beach from masculinity, and
two charming girls, screened from the
4 view of the men by the nterposition of
the umbrellas, were investing themselves
IN their bathing suits. When they had
finished and it didn't take them long,
they held the umbrellas while the other
ladies did likewise The gentlemen, at
the same time, performed a similar feat,
and soon the entire party, merry as
school children, were disporting them
selves in the waves
The bright wits of the chaperon had
headed off disappointment very neatly.
When the bath was over the same pro-
gramme was carried out, and all went
merry as wedding bells.
Rose after rose says Mehan's Monthly
for September, is introduced, and rose
after rose disappears in the course of a
few years Only a very few seem to sur
vive in popular estimation for any great
number of years. One beautiful tea rose,
Niphetos Is one of those rare survivals.
Although 1t is some fifty years since it
was first introduced, 1t is Just as popular
To-day In some quarters as ever it was.
II may be that this is because IL was one
Of the first of this class to have a fine
oval shape, which is the form generally
preferred by those who love cut flowers.
This is certainly so in America. 1t made
us hrst appearance in France in 1913, hav-
ing been raised by a celebrated raiser of
new roses by the name of Bougore. The
origin OF the name is now attracting at
tention in the Old World. Some say It
was given by Mr.. Bougere, who was
something of a classical scholar, after

companions of Diana, and that the name
should therefore be spelled Nyphetos and
not Nlphetos. But, like many other ex>
plantations of this kind, it IS proba bly,
nothing more than a shrewd guess.
