ELI PERKINS ON THE SOUTH
ERN'S PALM TENTED.

We'll. Ethel" she gasped. brushing
the snow from her gray-squirreI er-
mine-lined cloak perhaps I'm not to
glad to rest in this dear old southern's
Palm Limited again! And. think of it,
tomorrow we'll be sitting in lace and
muslin under the orange groves Of
Florida:"
And sybil, what recoLections it
must bring back to you!" said Ethel,
with her rosy cheeks and dreamy eyes
u should say so. Ethel. Why. on
this very train last winter l first met
/ Tony and that jolly crowd of Newport
ers with their golf sticks"
And that Irritation with Tony COM
menced them"
Yes. and that Irritation extended all
the way through Aiken, in The Land
of the Sky Savannah, with its moss
grown Buena Ventura, old San Angus
tine. to Palm Beach.
And you were married there.
Sybil?"
No but I surrend red there! But
! how could I help it?-sitting there in
the orange groves. breathing the balmy
/ air from the violet fields OF Bermuda
and Tony all deyotion-and throwing
roses and orange blossoms at me"'
And just to think, Ethel" said
Sybil, as the pink came back to her
cheeks, this is our bridal tour back to
the orange groves again."
What shall we see, Sybil, sid
Ethel. who was taking her first trip.
why we Newporters call this the
bridal train, Ethel, and when you get
tired seeing the flirting beauX and
bellies you'll see everything from th"se
snow banks in Jersey to the sleepy al
ligators in the St. John. You'll see the
gilded dome Of the Capitol and Tedly's
new White House, that old solemn
Washington monument, and beyond it
the white pillars Of Lees old mansion
on Arlington Heights. You'll see the
battle fields Of Manassas and Bull Run.
You'll see Lynchburg and be within an
hours drive of Appomatox, where Lee
gave up his sword to Grant. In the
Carolinas you'll see the picturesque
darkeys picking out the last cotton, and
then pass by Aiken in the Land of the
Sky, down through Savannah into
Brunswick where you can ferry across
to Jekyl Island and then to old San
Augustine with its new Ponce de Leon,
and them"
And then, Sybil," broke in Ethel,
lifting up her hands in delight, land
then into the Royal Poinciana' at
Palm Beach, with it's tennis grounds
and golf links among the mornig glories
and violets and under the orange bios
sons"
And then the yachting trip to be
taken there Ethel. Aiken and Jekyl
Island are lovely, but a yachting trip
on the St. John, with its Spanish moss
and alligators. o, MY"
AM then the hundreds Of gallant
yachtsmen" continued Sybil. en-
Enthusiastically, who tease you to run
over to the old Colonial at Nassau in
the Bahamas, or over to Moro Castle in
Havana where a dashing Spanish cav
alier will fall in love with you, if you
let him. and then play fandansos and
sing love. songs under your window.

When Ethel got back to New York

little sister went to the door.

colonel. Dang me if they haven't
all got it!'
The next morning he was headed for
