The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1900-03-11

small entertainments are now in vogue,
ana while not so formal as those of the
regular winter season, they are perhaps
even more enjoyed by the favored few
present. Parties on the water VIII be
come more and more popular as the
weather improves, and the woods AMI
country roads are a constant attraction
now that the yellow jessamine is IN bloom
and the peach blossoms are giving
touch OF pink to the dun gray landscape.
With such fine roads for bicycling, 1t Is
rather strange that the craze for the
wheel should have temporarily at least
died out in this community. In town there
are especial advantages in having one
personal conveyance, particularly now
that every one is so busy lodging mi
crobes, and if one cannot own carriage
or a cabriolet wheel is far ahead OF
either street car or the ubiquitous Night
Hawk!
