handkerchief trimming.
The handkerchief is usurping the
function of lace and embroideries and
this useful little article has become a
trimming for fashionable bodices and
lingerie.
The Mexican kerchiefs embellished
with embroidery and drawn work with
tiny squares of linen in the center are
used for this purpose. Three are used
for the front of a bodice if a yoke ef
fect is desired, three for the back, one
for the sleeve-caps—that is one for
each sleeve —and one for each cuff, re
quiring ten handkerchiefs to a bodice.
Instead of the yoke a fashionable ar
rangement consists of placing the
handkerchiefs, diamond-shape down
the front of the bodice, with one on
each shoulder at the back placed in the
same design. Instead of having caps
for the sleeves, the upper portion is
tucked or shirred to the elbow and the
kerchiefs are inserted in the volumi
nous puff between elbow and wrist.
Still another pretty way of finishing
the sleeve is having it extend only to
the elbow and draping the kerchief
around the edge in points so that the
longest one extends almost to the
wrists.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. JULY 4. 1903.
PALM PIAZZA OF THE DE SOTO
One of the Many Now Features to Bo Added to
the Hotel.
In presenting this morning a picture
of the palm piazza at the De Soto Ho
tel, an innovation that is perhaps not
yet fully recognized and appreciated
by the traveling public, is shown. True,
the palm piazza has only been used as
an out-of-doors cafe for a few weeks,
and not a great deal has been said of
it, but it has at once become popular,
much to the gratification of the pro
prietors, Messrs. Watson & Powers.
The idea of serving meals in the open
during the summer is, of course, not
new, but it remained for the
De Soto’s proprietors to intro
duce it in Savannah, and they have
gone to considerable expense and shown
great taste in preparing for this fea
ture of the hotel as a summer resort.
As will be seen from the picture the
palm piazza is of considerable propor
tions and is pleasantly arranged. The
piazza is over 150 feet long, faces the
south and opens directly upon the
court, and the court opens to the south
on Harris street, with only an orna

mental privet hedge to mark the street
line.
The court is green carpeted—a
perfect lawn covering the entire space,
the driveways formerly used having
been grassed over. In the center a
willow copse serves to lend variety to
the scene, and at the base of these
graceful, pretty trees, are masses of
summer flowers, their brilliant colors
edding to the picture.
At the east of the court,
over against the east wing of
the hotel, a Spanish pergola, de
signed by William G. Preston, of Bos
ton, the architect of the De Soto,
stands to complete the ornamentation,
and incidentally covers the windows
of the lower floors. The pergola, artis
tic in construction, is a copy of some
of the celebrated work of the kind in
Spain and its beauties are accentuated
at night by scores of incandescent
lights Vines are being trained upon it
and these will add to its beauty.
A llrllltant Place.
At night the palm piazza is lighted
by numbers of electric lamps, those
upon the white clad tables having silk
en shades and the globes above being
softened and mellowed to correspond.
Out in the willow copse are dozens of

“ Took an hour to make, and a week to bake, did it?”
“ Folks had to dig the fruit out of it with a pickaxe
I’m told, and, —sent the shell to the Blacksmith for hinges! ”
“But, —never again will they need to do that, since
now they use “ magical ” PRESTO.”
“It makes the quickest, surest, lightest, whitest, and
cheapest, of cakes and pastry.”
“Just compare the costs for Pie-crust, (beneath) and
observe that it needs less “shortening.”

green lights, and at the top a minia

red spray far over the willows and
flower beds.
Tropical and hardy evergreens and
trees are planted in the arches of the
pergola and placed in tubs In the hall
ways, on the stairs and in the arches
on the piazza. Ferns and palms occupy
each available nook and the whole ef
fect is cool, Inviting and attractive.
Since the idea was first exploited, and
a few' tables were set on the palm piaz
za, the guests of the De Soto have de
clined to eat indoors, and as a result
the great dining hall is closed for the
summer. In the evenings a select or
chestra discourses popular and classic
music for the diners, and people from
the city regularly drop in, and enjoy
an Ice or other light refreshments,
even if not wishing a meal. No more
charming place could be im
agined in which to pass an
hour than in this cool, flower
scented retreat, removed from conven
tionality and the necessary discomfort
that foilcwi' it, and surrounded by
only the most pleasant environment,

means the end of the improvements
and novelties that are being planned
by Watson & Powers. During the sea
son just passed it has been always in
the mind of the proprietors to make
certain changes and,t>> add in a number
of ways to the comfort, convenience
and pleasure of their guests. The own
ers of the hotel were taken into confi
dence, and after a full exposition of
the proposed move the latter gave their
full and substantial Indorsement to the
plans. Believing that it is the best pol
icy to keep up with the times, the di
rectors have authorized the expenditure
of a large a7nount in improvements and
new furniture and carpets, and the
work is already under way.
During the first months of the sum
mer the entire exterior of the De Soto
has received attention and paint, and
the Interior redecorated. On the orna
mental piazzas over the Liberty street
entrance, which by the way, is one of
the handsomest approaches to a hotel
that can be found anywhere, potted
plants and fancifully designed electric
fixtures are placed. A heavy brass
railing of artistic design has been add-,
ed to trim the white marble stairway.
Growing plants and flowers mark each
of the rises in this ascent and relieve
the cold lines in metal and stone.
New Wine llonni.
Below the sun parlor, and approach
able from Liberty street or from two
stairways from the oflice, is now be
ing arranged a wine room. This is
being finished in splendid style and
is of ample proportions. Removed a
short distance from the bar it is yet
within easy call, and here will be
placed tables and comfortable chairs,
In order that guilts may sit and talk
and smoke while enjoying their ale
and other beverages. It is delight
fully cool in the wine room and the
lighting and furnishings will be elab
orate and satisfactory.
The drinking fountain in the main
oflice is anew feature that is very
useful as well as ornamental. 'lt is
made of marble and has a silver
faucet, and supplies an unlimited
amount of water, cooled by the plac
ing of ice upon coils of pipe through
which the splendid water from the
artesian wells of the hotel is drawn.
New Furniture.
While to the average guest the fur
nishings of the rooms in the De Soto
have left little to be desired, the man
agers knew' that there were some new
things that could be well added, and
•
with the view to keeping right up with
the times a large amount of furniture
: and carpets will be added this fall.
! The • sun narlor now has its summer
I dress of polished, bare floor and light
curtains and wicker furniture, making
a delightfully cool summer resort.
Next season the sun parlor will be
converted Into a tea room where tea
and coffee will be daintily served be
tween the hours of 5 and 10 p. m.
Everywhere ip the hotel the electric
fixtures are being improved, the Elec
tric Supply Company having been giv
en a big contract and told to make
things shine.
The Great Dining Hall.
The grand dining hall will be newly
frescoed and decorated when opened
again in the fall, and the newest ideas
in seating the guests will be carried
out. This means that the military
row's of tables, each seating six people,
will be changed, and there will be little
tables and big tables—so that a man
and his wife may dine together, or
papa may bring mamma and the four
children, and the good-natured, good
looking drummers needn’t be getting
friendly with Susan by passing the
salt.
Many families already appreciating
the improvements under way and con
templated have engaged board for the
coming season. The proprietors ap
preciating the desirability of this class
of guest will do ail in their power to
make this a successful feature of the
house, feeling that by so doing they
will make the hotel still more attrac
tive to transient guests.
The foregoing are only a few of the
Improvements planned by Watson &
Powers, and when the fall comes they
will be able to say to their guests in
truth that the De Soto is one of the
best appointed and handsomest hos
telries in the whole South, and it will
be one of the best kept, too. The as
surance of this is found in the as
sistance which the hotel company is
giving the proprietors in the way of
improvements. The activity of the ho
tel company means that there Is to be
no more satisfactory or popular hotel
in the country from every point of
view than the De Soto.
—Shortly after the death of Capt.
Gridiey, who commanded the flag
ship in the battle of Manila bay, there
was an enthusiastic movement among
the people of Erie—the late captain's
city—to raise a fund for a suitable
monument. Apparently the project has
been lost to view, for nothing more is
being heard of it.
