aud some entertaining completes the pro-
gramrne. Black shadows have fallen across
the path OF some, who have the heartfelt

weddings this month win be the aIl-absorb-
ing topic for some; while anticipations of
cool destinations for the summer flight will

Ths german Tuesday evening was danced
at the Catholic Library hall and a full at
tendance of society devotees were out.
There we're several visiting young ladies,
and as Savannah can boast q goOdly num-
Der of the youthful fair sex, there was quite
al array Of beauty and grace. The dress
ing was different from the last german,
owing to changes in the weather, TO say
nothing Of changes in the fashion. Wide
skirts, immense sleeves, deep ruffles and
narrow frilIs uredominated over the narrow
skirts end narrow sleeves. Dancing is be-
coming to the new style skirt, and very
graceful was the effect Of fresh dotted
muslin, wide skirt, four frills, large, soft,
flutfy-looktug sleeves and deeD fall of lace
around the fair neck, ns the dignided and
gentle little woman did her dancing. a pink
tsh looking muslin with three frills of pink
ribbon, and a wide pink belt and soft, con
Portable looking sleeves and frills on the
waist, was another pretty gown on pretty
woman. The wearer of a heavy white
satin is a remarkably good dancer, and her
partners were conscious OF this, as they
gave her small Opportunity of resting
Another strikingly becoming costume was
of heavy white silk with a suggestion Of
green somewhere about it, red
rose IN the dark hair, aud bunch OF beau
tiful red and white roses. Two yellow
gowns were particularly becoming, aud the
effect of bunch of pink roses against a
gown OF palo green satin and lace was nat
urally artistic. The german was led by
Mr.. George Gadsden; the chaperons were
Mrs. J. j. Wilder, Mrs j, ii. Cunning
ham and Mrs. Arnold. Several familiar
faces were missed among the dancers and
their unavoidable absence regretted. Some
new faces were seen, which were enthusi-
Asticslly welcomed. Among the visitors
were Miss Pierce a stylish ana handsome
debutAnte who has pleasing manners aud
has already many fTlen0S In OaVannGn-
and Miss Williams, who is visiting her sis
ter. Mrs. Gillian, and her fair face and
dainty muslin gown was one Of the most
attractive sights at the german. Miss Dear
ing, in a strikingly becoming pink gown
combined with black, was in harmony with
