"A Delightful / ettei'
From The South

I have been asked to write a
little about the Sunny South,
to the kind friends who wished
us a pleasant journey and who
are still in the embrace Of win
ter, and to whom green tree
would be an unexpected sight as
it was to us on our arrival in the
town OF Bay st. Louis. And
such green trees; live oaks hang
ing with grey moss like Druids
of old they stand; then magno.
,lias dark green and SO glossy
that almost closing your eyes
you get little darts Of white on
the dark the high lights that
are the contrast of the dark sha-
dows; camelias-n now in bloom;
cedars, pines, and speaking Of
pines, we saw an interesting
sight the other day, an immense
and wildly green pine forest
tapped for turpentine. Every
tree with the bark sliced off for
two or three feet and the white
gum had poured over this space
so everyone of the thousands of
trees showed this white space
as far as the eye could see.
A mile or. so beyond this right
among the pines. we saw boats.
They were on a narrow bayon
that wound in and out among the
woods. The unexpected sight of
trees and boats was a reminder
of Holland with it's canals. An
old trapper was living there and
taking care Of the boats. His
house was like our cook shacks
and we felt quite at home at
sight Of it; but a wharf was at
one end and water under it. We
took a boat and roWed and fshed
for hours. H w many fish did we
catch. We are not telling fish
stories, so will pass on to the
oyster man. We get our oysters
for Is cents a hundred and you
do not have to sit more than an
hour or two for him to open
them-not that it is such a long
process, but by the time his
knife hits the oyster, he thinks
of a wonderful story to tell. My
husband claims he has cured
