Another season of social gayeties is at hand
With few exceptions most of the gay world
is home again and in happy anticipation Of
bright, prosperous and, it might be added,
successful winter. The young business
men seem pleased with the world In gen.
eral, ard although there are some who al
ways say they are mot going outthis year."
it can be safely asserted that they will all
be on hand 'for the first german" which is
the signal in Savannah that the ball is
open.
The young ladies have returned from
their summer outings looking unusually
well. The Savannah girl will be noticed
anywhere as true type OF sweet woman
hood. They are in their finest feather this
year. The season has started trifle earlier
than usual. There are some elegant gowns
to be seen on the streets and rumors of more
to come. Many of our bellies have been in
Europe and in the large cities Of the United
States for the summer, where they have
had the opportunity Of procuring elaborate
toilettes, which, no doubt, will be displayed
at the soirees, assembly and germans within
the next few months
The Soiree Club held It's meeting to re-
ure is anticipated from this club, as its
enterta inments were as handsome as any
given last winter, and added very much to
! the gayety Of the society world OF our city.
The officers and board OF management are
such that its continued success is assured.
Gen. Henry r. jackson is president, Col.
George A. Mercer, vice president.
The meeting of the German Club took
place on Tuesday evening, Nov. 10. The
following gentlemen were appointed as
leaders: Messrs. F. A Habersham, r. E.
L. Daniel, j. B. Anderson, G. NJ Gadsden,
7. M. Cunningham, Jr. 1t was with much
regret that this club heard the positive re-
fusal of Mr. w. W. Williamson to accept
the position of one of the leaders, or to be
on the committee. He has for several years
done much for the pleasure of all by his
dignifled and systematic manner OF con-
Quoting the german he has led. Messrs.
Habersham, Daniel and Anderson have
been on the committee for more than one
season. Messrs. Gadsden and Cunningham
are new leaders, but, without doubt will
prove themselves as efficient as the other
gentlemen, and more than satisfaction is
guaranteed.
The Oglethorpe Club has been unusually
popular this season, several handsome din
ners and suppers having been given there
already, and other entertainments are
spoken Of that will probably require the use
of the club restaurant. The annual supper
was celebrated on Nov. 4 with more than
usual interest. The president Mr.. George
s. Owens, was present, and lent dignity TO
the occasion, and gave great pleasure to all
present The beautiful voice of Mr. r.
Cuyler Gordon charmed the members until
late hour, and all decided it had been a
most enjoyable affair.
The prediction is that this will be par
ticularly brilliant season in the society
world. About eight charming young ladies'
are to make their debut, and there will be
the usual number of receptions, teas, din
ners and theater parties given in their
honor. Several private parties are being
spoken of, and these are the entertainments
that give Savannah 70 noted and we'll
deserved a reputation for being in tie front
rank of all the cities of the south for lavish
hospitality.
Many weddings are looked forward to
with much interest on account of the pop
ularity OF the parties most conspicuous in
them. Rumors of a wedding come to us of a
young lumber merchant of one of our neigh
boring towns and one of Savannah's fair
daughters. This is to occur some time in
December.
The brilliant event of the past week took
place at ST. Johns church on Wednesday
afternoon at o'clock. 1t was the marriage
of Miss Addie Stone and Mr.. Charles
Saussy, both parties being such we'll known
and popular young society people that it
has been the topic of conversation since
The feature of the wedding was the unique
style of the bridesmaids gowns. They
wore yellow chiffon. Each bridesmaid car
ried an immense bouquet Of chrysanthe-
NUNS. 1t was chrysanthemum wedding.
The elegant and spacious parlors were
thrown open to the numerous guests The
piazzas were enclosed, fairy lamps cast
becoming light over the beautiful scene.
The music was unusually good and added
to the enjoyment of all present. The gifts
were displayed and elected much admira-
tion. No young couple have ever started
in life with more earnest wishes for their
future happiness land all went as merry as
a marriage bell"
The society ladies of Atlanta are very
much interested in new charity. Mrs DIR.
Barrett Is forming class to be trained as
nurses to administer to the sick poor 1t is
a noble work, and with person of such
ability at the head its success is assured.
Mrs. Barrett has many friends here. For

Our Savannah young ladies are making
most enviable regulations for themselves in
the artistic world. Miss Celia Elliott,
daughter of DR.. W. H. Elliott, is perfectine

to learn that this will occasion her remain

as looking very handsome on that occa-
