for this is the month when the travellers
from Europe and other distant lands come
home with their wide blue scarfs on their
white straw hats proclaiming loudly

strange adventures IN foreign countries
where they have initiated royalty by driv-
ing around in a chariot and six! It does
ones heart good to see a smile light up
the wan face Of the poor lone grass Wild
overs who have been in the steaming
city all summer as they listen to the
yarns and travels of the more fortunate

September is the one month In the year
when there is literally nothing going on
So the society world in Savannah; no
cards; no yachting, no dances; not even
a morning TO vary the monotony of the
scene.
The Northern papers say that this has
