Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Kisser
During my tour of Natchez,
Miss., we visited three large
mansions. Natchez was settled in
1716 by the French.
Our first stop was “Linden”
whose doorway is famous as it was
filmed in “Gone with the Wind.”
The earliest part of this house was
built in 1792 and the west wing was
used as a schoolroom for the 13
children in the family. Now the
sixth generation lives here. There
is a drawing room and a banquet
room with a magnificent cypress
“punkah” hanging over the table.
The “punkah” was used to create a
breeze and to chase flies from the
food.
Next we stopped at “Melrose”
with its elaborately carved
original rococo revival furniture
and separate building with a kit
chen. Our last stop was at “Twin
Oaks” where they also had
“puddle” curtains. They were so
named as the excess material lay
on the floor thus showing that the
owners could afford to buy more
fabric than necessary.
We had free time for lunch and I
ate in a Health Food store with
three other people. Then I walked
several blocks and went through
some antique shops. That af
ternoon we drove along the Gulf
Coast to Biloxi, Miss. We crossed
the Pearl River and saw the 26-
mile long man-made beach. I
walked alone there one cold and
windy afternoon.
That night I ate at a cafeteria in
a large shopping mall with a
couple from Missouri and
discovered that we had a mutual
friend, a professor at Penn State

University. The next morning I
took another of my 110 pictures.
This one of the Gulf Coast
Lighthouse, an 1848 landmark. It
was painted black when Lincoln
was assassinated and was draped
when John Kennedy was shot.
Our last stop was at Bellingrath
Gardens, Theodore, Ala. Here we
saw 65 acres of manicured lawns
and 250,000 azalea plants in full
bloom. Their many varieties of
roses bloom from April to
December. They had to spend four
million dollars to repair the 1979
hurricane damage.
We had our farewell meal at

Cock O’The Walk where we were
served hot corn bread in iron
skillets, slaw in stoneware crocks
and catfish and hush puppies on a
tin plate. For dessert we had
Mississippi Mud Cake. The tour
guide gave small “fun” gifts to
different members and I was given
pens and stationary from all of the
hotels because I was continually
taking notes.
Our last morning in Biloxi the
temperature was 32°F. as we
walked to a nearby Waffle Shop.
Then we drove to New Orleans
Airport and I flew into Atlanta,
Ga., where I changed planes for
Philadelphia. As I ate a delicious
meal on the airplane, I was treated
to a beautiful view of Washington,
D.C. at night with thousands of
glistening lights.
