The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-07-04

A Savannah man who has now made his
home in the vicinity of the Great Lakes
said on a recent southern visit, that we
do not live down here, we simply exist.
The joy of merely being alive, with every
nerve tingling. and body and mind ready
for action is the state in which the west
efners can rejoice, while here on the con-
tTary we have only few months of vital
itv, the rest of the year we put up with
circumstances-that is the weather-and
make the best of things. We should be
judged then very ieniently for lack of
such energy as the northerners and west
erners have, and our sins of omission
should be readily forgiven.
June has been almost tropical, and the
minds of most of us have not scared above
perpetual craving for pineapple ices
and lemon phos9hates, combined with a
& constant worry over the long and short of
our duck and linen garments. 1t is very
irritating, by the way. to have to remem-
Der which skirt has TO be heightened and
which skirt shortened when the laundry
comes in. A sad story is be-
ing told of the dusky swell
who ordered his washerwoman to
tie two bricks to the extremities of his
linen crash trousers. thinking they would,
like those Of duck, crawl upward. He
had, that greatest of anomalies, an ODE
dent washeIwoman. When the trousers
came home they were fully five inches
longer than the wearer and-"Johnny
turned his trousers up Speak
ing of clothes, there is one thing
that has added to the irritation of the
public lately and that is the inundation
of fiery red in dresses, hats and ribbons
of the followers Of fashion. 1t is too try
ing in this climate both to wearer and
observer With the thermometer at 1O2
degrees and ice going up, It Is the last
straw to see a girl charging down Bull
street on bicycle with a flaming red
shirt on. One feels positively grateful,
TO the man who follows in white linen
with japanese shado hat, or to the wise
woman who eschews all colors save. per-
haps, pale green, and cools one off TO
even look at her.
This Of all months is the time for house
parties along the southern coast. and A. is
days. Broad piazzas hammocks. and the
sea to look out upon seems all that could
be desired, but when added to this is a
congenial party OF friends. then the sum-
init OF pleasure has been reached. Such a
party, with such surroundings. Is now
going on at St. GATHERINGS Island al Mr..
