''Ah, world of ours. are you so gray,
And weary, world, Of spinning,
That you repeat the tales to-day
You told a the beginning?
For 10! the same Old myths that made
The early stage successes
Still hold the boards and stl are played
with new effects and dresses.
Austin DObsOn.
Only one is doubtful about the new
dresses or even the new effects at this
time of year. 1t IS so hopelessly between
seasons. The Tybee ranks are thinning
somewhat, as more and more Savannah
fans take their way northward for a
breath of mountain air-or for their fall
shopping. Speaking of shopping, what,
alas! has become of the long -talked-of in
huence of women? Is it possible that the
wise legislators Of the country do not
realize that a law limiting the cost of the
personal outfit of travellers will make more
converts to the woman suffrage question
than any other argument could do? If
home influence cannot check these same
Legislators in matters of such vital inn
portance, then feminine law-making must
come. Ask the women about it. At Ty-
bee there is no shopping. Even soda wa
ter fountains do not seem a necessity in
that breezy place. The New York Herald
says that on a hot day the population of
Manhattan Island consumes $4,000 quarts
of ice cream and carbonated waters; and
some mathematical genius states that If
this be true the ice cream that is CON
stunned there daily could be made into an
obelisk almost as large as Cleopatras
needle. Savannah people don't know how
much soda water they drink per diem, but
the supply must be large one Fortu-
nately, we see physicians countenancing
Ats consumption.
