The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-03-29

That a man should admire women and
express his admiration in terms of high
est praise seems natural, but when a wo-
man pays tribute to her sex in such a way
as does Mrs. Craigie John Oliver Hobbes).
It is indeed worthy of appreciation. Mrs.
Craigie who was herself born in America,
has recently made visit TO this country
and on her return to England, states that
the American women never talk scandal,
or say an unkind thing about one an
other; that having made a study of them,
she finds that they are utterly devoid of
ungenerous feeling toward each other,
with ever the k,ndliest thought and word
for the members of their sex. I'm
doubtedly there are women who are al
ways chariuably disposed toward their
fellow creatures, but it is hard to imagine
society in which there IS no hard feeling
or back-biting. and Mrs. Craigie was for
tunate in meeting only this highest type
of American womanhood. Would that her
opinion could be justly applied to every
woman IN the United States.
The musicale given by Capt and Mrs
J. c. Postell on Tuesday evening was a
delightful affair. Mrs. Agnes Postell- Ever
est was warmly greeted by the guests
perfection in several beautiful selections,
among them Haydn's MY Mother Bids
Ne Bind My Hair" "Asthore," by Tro-
teri and Reinicke's Spring Song" Per-
haps the Ave Maria" in which she was
accompanied by Mr.. James Douglas on the
violin, was most enjoyed by the hearers.
Mrs. Everests voice is of exquisite quality
and has been thoroughly cultivated both
in this country and abroad. The pro-
gramme was a very interesting one. Mrs.
Finnie and Mr.. Julian Walker both sang
delightfully."-, and Mr.. Douglas gave sew
