No. Frni17 and FIower Mission

One of the most Christianlike and char
liable organizations in the city is the
Fruit and Flower Mission, recently organ
lied among a number Ofbenevolent ladies,
having as its purpose the distribution of
fruit and flowers among the sick in the
HOSPITALS and in the homes of the poor
throughout the city. A more worthy mis-
sion, save, perhaps, that of relieving the
destitute, can hardly be named. The at
tention of the ladies comprising 1t to the
suffering in the hospital wards and the
placing of bouquet or bunch of flowers
or basket of fruit at their bedside is an
act worthy of great reward. The hospital
sick will not alone be the subject Of the
MISSIONS charity, but the poor in the out
skirts of the city will receive their kind at
tentiOn. The mission is one that appeals to
the liberality of the citizens for support.
The ladies will be in the basement OF
Christ Church every Tuesday morning
from 8 until 10 O'Clock, where plants and
flowers will be received, and it is hoped
that the call for these slight offerings Will
meet with a generous response.

Fashion Notes,

Condor brown is a very fashionable
color.
Among the new spring bonnets no pokes
are seen.
Immense and diminutive collars are
alike fashionable.
The Jersey bodice and the Jersey coat
will be as popular as ever this season and
the next.
Almost the only trimming employed on
the handsome silk and velvet dresses of
little children IS the large full sash.
Plastrons will be much used on suits
this spring. Those that are gathered and
laid into plaits are very becoming to
slender figures.
The high Greek couture, with several
f1llets encircling the head, takes the place
with Parisians in the small coil in the
nape of the neck.
Evening dresses of great taste and ele-
gance are made OF the new ecru batistes
nearly covered by gold or silver figures
that make them look like cloths of gold
or silver.
Long butt0ned gloves are no longer long
buttOned. They come up as high as be-
fore to the elbow or above it, but the per-
feet style is to have no more than three
buttons near the wrist.
Wooden ornaments for dresses and
cloaks are made of white holly, that
initiates old ivory, and carved or painted.
A set consists of buckles, large pin for
the drapery, and buttons of two sizes for
the basque and coat.
For entirely black dresses for the early
spring the handsOmest satins are being
provided for the greater part of the dress,
to be enriched by a vest and shirt front of
elaborate embroidery done on satin, or
else on net that is laid upon satin.
Vigognes and cashmere cloths are to be
much used next season for stylish travel
ing circulars, pelisses and other wraps,
as they last longer, look richer and serve
much better purpose than shaWls, linen
garments, or those Of poplin or china silk
The cOffee-cOlored Venetian laces used
the past season as a garniture for rich
brown fabrics will be employed the COM
ing summer to decorate the pleatings,
tunics, and bOdices of pale-colored silks
and muslins. Some Of the most elaborate
patterns have the designs outlined with
heavy gold threads.
AS a flounce trimming lace will be liz
special favor during the coming season.
Silks of both light and dark shades will
be trimmed with it. Guipure, hand en-
broidered Spanish and Escurial laces will
all be much used. Square panels of
drapery are frequently covered with lace,
and present a very elaborate effect, ne
cessitating very little trimming upon the
skirt.
Some of the spring bOnnets are trimmed
with ottoman or plush ribbons with a
bright contrasting color on the reverse
side. Besides their use as strings they
are found very useful for the rose tuffets
employed on many bonnets for general
wear in the place of flowers and feathers.
/ The colOrs of the two sides Of the ribbon
must harmonic well, however, or the ef-
! feet is far from agreeable. Cloud blue
and sapphire blue, wine and pale pink,
/ dove and rose color, or pale blue. russell
green, and myrtle green, deep violet and
| lined with coral or crimson, is much ia
vored. Dark green plush ribbons, faced
with Van Dyke red and made into loose
/ tuffets, are charming, giving the effect OF
! a nest of moss.

An Enterprise that Deserves Support

An Enterprise that Deserves support.
Editor Morning NeteS: A modest ''No-
tice' in this mornings paper brings be.
fore the public an enterprise inaugurated
bv q few ladies'. which is worthy the at
tention of all. 1t is a "Fruit and Flower
Mission" formed after the model Of sOcie-
ties which, in larger cities, have proved
valuable aids to the nurse, the physician
aud the almsgiver. Coming before the kind
hearted community of Savannah, this lit
tie mission asks no money. 1t is to be
carried on almost without price" 1t
only asks gifts of flowers from those who
have them to bestOw. The ladies will
meet once a week to receive and distribute
these flowers for the benefit of the sick
and the poor, and they hope, in this min
istry of love, to bring refreshment and
cheer to lonely sufferers and to beds of
WEAKNESS and pain.
VIII not those who have even few
flowers to spare send them on next Tues
day morning to the appointed place-a
room in the basement of Christ Church
The room will be opened to received them
between and II O'Clock.

savannah Preparing for the Macon
Tournament.
The Savannah companies who will at
tend the Macon tournament next month
are preparing for the event. The Fire
Department will be represented by the
Werner Hook and Ladner and
the Washington Hose Company
Both companies are popular
and both have good records. The Wash
ingtOns have taken the front in local con-
tests and the department will expect
them to do their best at Macon. 1t would
be impossible to send other companies,
as the strength of the department would
be impaired during their absence and
the fire protection would be removed from
the city. The Ocmulgees were invited by
the Waiver Steam Fire Engine and Hose
Company to be their guests
on the occasion of the de-
partments annual parade last June,
but owing to some reason they were I'M
able to attend, and were represented by
one of their members. The Ocmulgees
have many friends in Savannah, and the
companies from here who are their guests
next month will go, assured Of a hand
some entertainment.

slosson, the expert billiard player of
America, has addressed a double chal-
lenge to William Sexton and Jacob
Schaefer, the champion player who was
recently defeated by Vignaux in Paris,
the subject Of which is that Slosson will
play Sexton three games-cushion caroms,

800 points, and champions game, 20x40
lines, 800 points-for $500 a side each
game, on a Collender table, in Chicago,
April 20, April 80 and May 10.
The proposition to Schaefer is for three
games, $500 side each game, namely 8
or Pinch balk line, 500 points; cham
pion's game, 20X4O, 500 points. Style of
third game to be decided by toss. Schaefer

son the second, and the third to be tossed
for; the winner to take and pay all in
each game. Games to be played in Chi
cago, May y, June l and June 10. The
