The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-06-28

We hear Of character in hand-writlngs,
character in watches, character in hats.
What may not be learned from a TRUNK
An all-important consideration just now.
Probably Sherlock Holmes, before ne
Joined the House Boat on the Styx,
scorned to take into consideration any
thing so easily read as a Box" (Out
of Difference to the Anglo-maniac). But
we, who are not so astute as to learn
a mans whereabouts from the way in
which he thrusts his hand into the left
pocket of his trousers, are not averse
10 scanning tho luggage of our fellow
travellers. Occasionally one sees strange
things. A modest sea trunk might not
attract attention if It did not bear on
one side in large letters, Town Top
les" Now what has that trunk to do
with Town Topics? Is one of the editors
on the road with his property thus label
led? Are there reams upon reams OF gos-
sipy MSS. resting in that box, or is the
lettering merely a device to rouse the Gu
Tiosity OF the public? We turn to a queer
ly-shaped affair and finally decide that il
is a bicycle trunk. No name on It. What
an excellent thing it would be to have
one like it for our beloved Columbia or
Rambler, or Cleveland or Liberty. (This
is not an advertising column, so the
Josephine need not feel hurD. Then We
wonder to which of the young men thar
plece of baggage marked with labels un-
I'll It looks as If It had been used fos
dozens Of advertisements belongs. 1t is
a mans Of course, for there is a hat box
with II. and women do not seem to care
for hat boxes. Why not it would be hard
10 explain. AS for our own trunks, we
can pick them Oat with a glance from
hundreds Of Others. That speaks for
their marked individuality. There is the
great square, wooden one, that we used
when we went to boarding school, and
that any one can see has a splendid tray
Tor packing preserves in" And there Is
the long, low basket "box," that We
bought for our skirts when we first grew
up and went TO SUMMER resorts. Ana
there is the two-story arrangements that
we had made to order with trays upon
trays In II 10 keep our gowns uncrusned,
and that Is so cumbersome that three
porters are needed to handle it, so that
now when we visit our friends we leave
4 at home for very shame.
And last OF all there is up in the attic
what one could not use for travelling
the dear old thing known TO the children
as the give-away trunk. Yet there are
Things, too in that old trunk that are
too precious ever 10 be given away, even
though the uninitiated might think them
not worth the keeping. Do many people
have g1ve-away trunks? They are an ex-
cellent institution.
