The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1895-03-03

There is lull in society excitement, a
surcease of card parties, of afternoon
teas. dances and reception. Whether
or not it is welcomed is hard to ascer-
tain. since some signs were heard Tues
day evening and much regret expressed
that that was the very last card party
for so long Some probably are in
gather helpless condition They don't
know what to do with themselves; while
others are glad to be released from soci-
ety's clutches for forty days.
The literary clubs viii pursue their
course unbroken hy lighter distractions
There will be several country house par
ties which viii contain Savannah guests
Later the rehearsals of the
Flower Queen and the Mikado
will be renewed, as both plays will be re-
peated after Easter. It is rumored that
a japanese pagoda viii be erected in the
Park extension, where the performances
of the Mikado will take place during Nav
week. 1t will be a Mkado festival and
promises to be a unique affair of the
kind
The past week was one OF much raiety
during Monday and Tuesday. A large card
party Monday evening, a german and
Married Woman's Club Tuesday. with
other smaller affairs. about fills the list
Of entertainments
Opera parties were also made up TO hear
II Trovatore and Carmen. The theater
has taken on a metropolitan aspect since
the vanish of hats. The demi-toilets of
the ladies give a city-like appearance to
an audience that has done away with
village custom. 1t is as unusual now to
see large hat in the theater as it is to
zee the men keep still.
