SOCIETY.

The theater-goers have only a few
more words to say to hat-wearers. Of
course the public thanks the Savannah
ladies' individually for not wearing OBJ
nexious hats, the reform has been quick.
Successful and complete. except for a
very few who linger with old fogy ideas
and sit themselves down in large plum
ed, decked and upposed-to-be-b becoming
hats. They appear unconscious of the
comment they create and of the criti-
cism that follows thick and heavy. As
one large woman sank into her chair,
with a velvet affair on her head resem-
bling a tin tub, as far as beauty was con-
cerned with bristling proceedings OF
feathers and ribbons, remarks something
like this were heard by the people sit
ting behind her: "She has evidently been
in Savannah all her life and does not
know any better; "Then she can look
in the parduer ana see that there are no
hats. only a slight head covering or none
at all --'
A man with a bristling red head and a
toothpick in his mouth was giving bent
TO something like this: "She doesn't
know old fashions. from new, even /
know better than to wear thing like
that on my head" But the large woman
sat demurely through the play, enjoy
ing her beautiful new hat, as much as
the acting.
There are few anglomaniacs in Savan-
nah, but the English custom is better
than ours, of prohibiting ladies TO en-
ter the theater hated. Also of prohibi-
ting men to enter after the curtain has
gone up. II they are not within the
thcater by a certain signal, they remain
outside in the foyer, and entertain them
. selves as best they can and do better
next time.
The savannah operate Association will
be enc of the seasons social distrac tions.
Rehearsals are soon to begin on popular
opera and again home actors Will be seen
by an appreciative audience. Ermine ana
Robin Hood are suggested as popular
operas and il Is probable that one of these
will be played. Among the leading roles
to be taken by savannah people some
Of them VIII be filled by Mrs. Wickenburs,
Mr.. Blois, Mr. Albert Meyer and MIR.
Reeves. The rehearsals for the opera iig-
ure largely among social amusements. The
participants kick" Of course, but they
make the best OF 1t, and the young people
rather enjoy the frequent informal meet
ings.
The Music Culture Club has issued It's
book of season tickets and presents an
interesting programme to the subscribers.
This club fills a long-felt want in Sa-
Vannah, where the facilities for hearing
good music have been few. Now. how
ever the concerts in view viii no doubt
be above the average affair of that kind.
Society en- masse turned out to see Bur
falo Bin last Thursday evening. The
exciting conglOmeratiOn Of nations ana
feats was witnessed by a like conglomer-
alton of society swells and cheap-tobac-
co-smoking roughs and toughs. All en-
Enthusiastically applauded the best riders
and shooters, ana the same good-natured
noisy spirit of having a good time was
running high with the mixed audience
as is generally an indispensable feature
Of the circus crowd. The ubiquitous

repressible as usual. and only the sight
OF the ponderous bison and buffalos could
for minute subdue his boisterous ap-

most pronounced twO-for-a-nickeI cigars
rivaled the clouds Of dust in and about
the amphitheater. 1t was rumored thai
one OF sOcietys favorites was riding a
bucking broncho if this be true he PROB
ably spent the next day on diyan amons
its luxurious pillows, for the exercise was
something terrific for one out of prac-
tice.
The programme for the Lyceum is made
up for the winters season, and the pleas
ure of last years lectures stin fingers
only to be supplanted by the anticiDated
lectures OF thfs season. The Lyceum is
one OF savannah greatest Announcements
in the amusement line and it win no doubt
be more popular this year. since ii mas
proved itself an acquisition.
