Sunday evening with stories drawn
from southern life.
The beauties of the sunsets as
viewed from the piazza of the Merri-
coneag are commented upon by
quests from far; and near. So attrac-
tive are they that the dining room
is often deserted during the supper
time while the guests gaze with ad
miration in the west.
A daily record is being kept of the
temperature as shown on the piazza
at noon. Only three times this sea-
son has the thermometer reached 80
degrees and fires in the fire CRATES
are frequently welcomed in the eve
ming.
