WHAT sAVANNAH's SOCIAL,
WORLD Is DOING IN LENT.

ters of General Interest
A hostess when directing invitations TO a
dinner always feels the necessity Of choos-
ing agreeable Il mean universally arres-
able guests. OF course it's awfuIly hard to
be always agreeable, always polite and en-.
tertainIng, unless one Is naturally so. and
thatis the exception. Few women realizs
that fascination Of manner is not born
but cultivated, and I have 1t said that it can
be cultivated with success. The pouular
dinner guest, according to the New York
idea, is as follows: She must not be too old
she must not be too young, she must not be
unpleasant to look upon, neither must ne
be beautiful automaton; she must be
quick, responsive, interesting and vivacious
but she must not monopolize the converss>
sion and cause others to fight for their
right; she must have IN her the spirit of the
bohomienne, vet she must be the epitone of
good breeding and refinement-in fine. she
must be the most fascinating flower of a
complex civilization.

Paderewski is denying his engagement to
Miss Denham of New York It seems she
is an ardent admirer of the musician, and
follows him from city to city, and it may
be that the young lady loves music, and not
Paderewski.

With SO many in Savannah interested in
the cause Of the memorial baZar at Rich
mond, the Georgia table will no doubt be
one OF the most attractive aud show the
substantial interest that is taken in the pro-
jected confederate monument and museum.
The public is invited TO send any articles
small or large. for use or beauty to Ne
mortal Bazaar, Richmond, Va.
At a sewing class in New York, the ladies
were entertained by f. Marion Crawford
who gave a reading from his own works.
Those ladies could not be accused of gossip
ing that time, as they SO often are
The ladies of Savannah are as we'll "upn
on subjects Of form and etiquette as ladies
anywhere, and they are also ready to be
msGnanimOus 60 the opinions of others.
This is what northern woman says of WIS.,
iting cards.
Those used by matTons are always slightly
larger and thicker than the ones affected by
maids, but all alike are written in decidedly
heavier lines than of old. Script Of every
description is bad form, and only the deli
cate copper plate can be tolerated by smart
people. The old-fashioned habit of bend,
ing card through the center or creastng
its corners to signify for whom and how
many call was intended, is wretchedly bad
style to>day. 1t is supposed that visitors
are superior to such small economies and
are willing to honor each individual sepa-
rately.
Men who observe the graceful ceremonies
OF society are as fastidious as women con-
corning correct use Of the card. Bachelors
very frequently have their favorite club
address 10 the lower left hand corner as a
residence, or preferring 1t as a mail center
After receiving any special courtesies from
members OF their own sex in a strange city
men always post a card upon leaving the

in his card In advance of his entrance. II it
happens to be her day at home or a recep-
tion he is simply announced, and on leaving
the house deposits cards for the entire fam
lily with the butler.

One of the prettiest and most tasteful
contributions to the memorial bazaar" is
being made by Miss Vallie Chisholm 1t is
piece of satin, on which she is painting
the South Carolina arms for a portiere.
With Miss Chisholm's taste and talent, this
will certainly do credit to the table on
which it is displayed. Another valuable
Contribution Will De the plates panied Dl
Mrs. &. A. Wilkins. The arms of Georgia,
South Carolina and Florida will make a
very unique and effectual design.
