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

What a treat a letter is, especially IN
Savannah at this season, when the mo-
notony of things around us makes one
''look before and after and pine for what
is not" For this 1 have reason
to give others the benefit of
some particularly interesting ones
that have read lately. One postmarked
Baden-Baden says: 1--WE came here two
weeks ago, and / hate to have my visit
drawing TO a close for a lovelier place
than Baden-Baden I can't imagine. 1t is
like a huge garden set in. these wonder
full Black-Forest hills, and the walks and
drives are perfect. This being race week
and the hight of the season, the whole
place is en- fete. The Prince of Wales be-
ing here, all the Americans in Europe
apparently have gathered also. There are
all sorts of festivities. Yesterday 'BlH-
men Corso, which was simply lovely;
some of the carriages were dreams of
beauty; such a profusion of exquisite
flowers, roses lilies and even orchids, and
such blending and contrast of color. One
of the most effective was done entirely
with pale blue hydrangeas. The beautiful
pair of bays which drew the Victoria
wearing wide wreaths of the flowers
around their necks, while the pretty wo
man TO whom it belonged was in the dain-
test fiower-like costume of pale blue. The
first prize, however, was awarded to
Tyrolese wagon piled with straw and
garlands of peoples and corn flowers. six
girls in pretty Tyrolean costumes with
rakes on their shoulders sitting on top"
Then she goes on with other descriptions
just as interesting. on putting such
letter down one feels as though a re-
freshing breeze had reached you and
brushed aside some of the cobwebs that
collect in ones brain on these quiet sum-
mer days. A few days later this came
to me, written after a day spent at Wa
terloo, the description Of which, like the
writer, was truly original and ended with
this rather pithy saying: Poor old Nap
/ guess he didn't have his rabbits foot
with him that day"
