The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-05-02

-- EGGY, love--You can't know wha
 Wf% good times are way off there 1T ct Portland. And I didn't know Fall went to Pensacola witi inclue bankers But with Pensacola city;s host, I felt that the world wal Uuaiulne and that it wasn't world at all ,is;nslt a cloud of unreality that circlet ->>Aautifully around me- I all started or
 e way down when I travelled with one Be the incest of them all and he, generous depaoul, introduced me to half dozer @thers who were surrounded by natural sweaamour because they were from New .uork, and other such far-off places whose cry distances make them enchanting
 However, afterward I found that they
 were quite human after all and that New
 York is quite as nice a place to come | from as Birmingham.
 I I was enthralled from the instant 1 saw 1.-the bay till it faded away in the dark Yress Sunday night when we went to the ytrain, and during all of that time from wThursday till Sunday, there was not one smoment when I wished myself anywhere Fselse. And now I am dreaming and wish ing myself back again, just for a while.
 Almost the first person I saw Thurs
 day morning after had breakfasted with
 an Atlanta man, Chicago man and Ianother from Nashville, Jo Evins, all Yo frocked out in a sport suit of stripes and ~I green jersey and looking exceedingly al-
 turing in a big sport hat. Then Beth SD Wyman appeared on the scene, just as SC charmingly attired for the morning, and J found that they, with Mr. and Mrs. 7' Thomas Hopkins and Mir. and Mrs. Oscar us Wells, all of whom you remember meet
 ing during your happy Birmingham visit, X were already established in the hotel. p The San Carlos was convention head
 quarters, and you can imagine the at
 tractive aspect it took with several hundred perfectly good men strolling
 about the lobby.
 Mir. and Mrs. McI4ane Hilton, Jr., of Pell i City were official chaperons for me,
 and later for the other girls, and they l were perfectly wonderful to us Then l /, know we could not have been happy at
 all if it had not been for Mr. Hervey,
 who just naturally appointed himself host i and saw that everyone was delightfully."- entertained every minute of the day and l night Sunday he arranged the most beauteous picnic at Fort Barrancas for
 us, with just the right people invited, and
 we motored out for bath in the bay
 and roll in the sand before lunch.
 Every one was starving, and we did not
 have a bit of trouble disposing of the tempting luncheon he had brought from } 1.-the hotel. Beside there was Mrs. Til- ,,l ton and Mrs. Reaching. very lovely lit w tie Pensacola girl, Nellie Tyler Sara lot Keith and Augusta Cobbs of Anniston,
 all of whom am sure you remember, ga because they have frequently visited here Ia, That was one time that we could wear sport clothes to our hearts content, and TIC am sure you never saw the like of
 strires in clothes and stockings.
 Sunday with such hap
 py thrill that just naturally skipped
 over the other days in my hurry, but
 that doesn't mean that nothing hap
 pened. There was the banquet Thurs day night when everyone, wondrously and marvelously attired, gathered in the dining room about tabes that were
 loaded with good things to eat and
 decked high with exquisite sweet peas
 and snap dragons. It just seems that
 flowers grow wild down there, for
 there is smash of color all around
 the hotel that proves to be a pansy bed
 when one looks close, and then there
 are sweet peas everywhere. There was
 corsage for the girls each morning that
