by theSewllling reapers. The audience was
very appreciative one. and furnished
amusement that was very distracting and
almost rivaled the opera. Some of those

who were well pleased with their sue
cess, for the "MikadO' was well nut
on, well acted and rather well sung. 1t

are acting for charity and who do the
best they can.

One of the prettiest and most becoming
hats seen lately in Savannah was worn
by visitor from Atlanta who is tall,
graceful, and can wear with good effect a
picturesque leghOrn of white surmounted
by bunch of pink roses, at just the right
place.
Miss Buthie Stewart, who has been
slightly i'll, has entirely recovered her
usual good health, much TO the pleasure
of her very many friends
A delightful luncheon was given by the
Misses Johnston last Friday to their
guest, Miss Lily Hill The artistic rooms
were especially attractive, and ferns and
peoples were in the vases. An entertain
ing piece of originality was introduced by
Miss Jennie Johnston, who had selected
several quotations which she placed upon
a blackboard, giving only a few words
and supplying the deficiency with a blank.
The quotations were supposed to be
familiar and proved so to a few well-rcad
guests. Miss Bessie Beckwith made
the highest score, and was the
fortunate recipient of pair
of silver scissors. Next highest
was made by Mrs Huger. Luncheon was
served informally, after. which Miss
Jennie Johnston sang in her well-trained
and unusually sweet voice, and Miss

Miss Harrydel Hallmark, the society
editor of the Augusta Chronicle, passed
through Savannah last week on her way
from New York home. She is a thoroughly
capable woman and writes with an ease
and fuency that makes her column a very
readable and popular one. She is ener-
getic and enterprising and has shown so
much tact and good taste in her work
that she has won many friends in pro-
fessional way. For, strange to say, there
are some people who object to the newt
able and would like to reform the world,
and think it very poor taste to put in the
newspapers the events of society, as if
society were not worth noticing. But
they read it just the same
DR. Clifford Stiles of Atlanta spent a
few days last week with his relatives on
Bolton street.
The artistic women of this city are al
ways adopting and enjoying anything in
the way of useful art In the spacious
apartment of one well-known belle, where
the predomnating color is old pink. are
seen many beautiful and valuable Access
SORES to the artistic effect of boudoir
Water colors picked up abroad,
carving on cOcoanuts, silks
and other articles that please
the lady's fancy. A pretty addition to a
dressing table or bureau is a stripof wide
ribbon lettered with some appropriate in
scription. In a guest room across the top
of the white maple bureau, was such a
band of pale yellow, embroidered in old
English text in black "The ornament of
a house is the friends who frequent it"
The band began in a large rosette and
ended at the other side in loose bow with
long ends, which fell nearly to the slab
and was most dressily effective. The
writing desk is also an inevitable require

own one place of entire security and I'M
touched by other hands: her desk is her
stronghold and contains her personal
valuables, from her last piece of silver to
the sweet scented poem addressed to her
by some northumberland headed-ad-
mirer And the silver always look
bright and well-kept on her
desk. She takes pride in it, and
she is the kind that will, when the time
comes, keep a well ordered and spot

women have their desks furnished in sill

state of helpless and hopeless ignorance

Says an authority: "Don eat the toast
on which asparagus may be offered to
YOU any more than you will eat the napkin
when it appears on that article" The
toast and napkin, it seems, perform the
same service-to drain the vegetable,
which rarely comes out of the boiler
entirely free from moisture. But still, if
one cares to eat the butter-soaked toast,
then why not? One need not be a slave
to conventionality and strictly initiate
the smallest swell at table There is
occasionally such a thing as being sen
