The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-08-08

Into a land of shadows dim;
Each friend of hoyhood now appears
And smiles, as in those by-soue years
The misty dawn,
The sunbright noon,
The emerald lawn
Lit by the moon,
Are by remembrance glorded,
with not a shade nor tint denied.
Thus calmly sleeping let me die
Yea. thus breathe out my last, deep sigh,
AT some bright midnight, when the vale
Low echoes to the nightingale.
The prison bars
Thus drawn away,
Above the stars
Ny childhood's May
Shall come again to bide with me,
In Gods own garden sorrow-free.
Certain peoples bureau drawers, for in
stance, diffuse an atmosphere Of refine
ment that is partly exquisite neatness
and order, partly the faint perfume Of
rose or violet, and very largely a natural
gift A layer of thin sheet-wadding COW
cred above and below with cheap silkolne
or silesa, caught through the center with
small bow of ribbon to match, and fin
nished at each corner with the same,
makes an attractive lining for drawers
and is an encourag cement to keep ones be-
longings in order.
Boxes of various sizes and shapes are
also a valuable aid to this end, and IL is
not difficult to accumulate stock Of
quite pretty ones. A lack Of outside
charms can be yelled by def fingers with
coverings Of plush or velvet or old bro
cade, and the hnishing-touch of mono

be desired. The wandering propensities
of gloves and handkerchiefs can thus be
held In check, and ones sweetness and
light not too heavily taxed by having TO
seek them In haste.
The bureau itself, If low and broad, can
be made attractive with very little ex-
penditure. A sheer organdie muslin. with
a pattern of roses and leaves, makes
beautiful cover for it, lined with pink
silesia, and trimmed at the corners with
rosettes of the narrowest ribbon in pink,
green, and brown. The round pin-cushion
TO match has an air of elegance quite in
dependent of a money basis.
On this foundation prettily wrought
metal boxes that are quite inexpensive
show TO great advantage; and a pair of
china candlesticks, with painted roses.
holding pale pink candles, make the pref
test of finishing touches.
Some peoples smallest properties seem
TO express an individuality of their own
their very bags, papeT-kniVes, and PEN
handles characterize them in some way.
In nothing, perhaps, is this so strongly
accumulated as in the matter of perfume.

We really need systematic training for
our girls in the art of street life. If your
small sons jump on to moving cars you are
gratifed at their boyish pluck but if your
small daughters try any such thing, you
are Mortified; so the girls grow up unable
TO step on or off any moving vehicle what
ever, and yet the need may come to do this
very thing
In Paris, for instance, no bus conductor
expects to bring his horse to a dead halt
TO let a young, healthy-looking woman on
or off. They stop for age and they slow
up for the rest of the world as may be nee
essary in each case. The Frenchwomen
are graceful and expert in getting on and
of their moving busses; it is the active

conductor realizes that she cannot jump

Now that thousands of us must march
on every morning a la monsieur, we are
beginning to observe; but the splendid or
derry bearing Of some of our women only
brings into sharper contrast the Ignorance
or Indifference displayed by others in these
matters, and many Of us must suffer FOR
