The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1895-02-24

Society was on a rush during the past
week, and many entertainments were
crowded into few days. This week viii
be filled to Ash Wednesday with society
events. A card party tomorrow evening.
the german on Tuesday evening, and the
marriage Of one Of savannahs most pop
ular women on Tuesday afternoon will be
about the social events Of the week. The
wedding will be ~ one. but one of
great interest to many. the bride-elect hay
ing many friends in the city as well as
many away. She will be missed by large
circle of social Savannah, and viii be al
ways welcomed from her northern adopted
home.
The Mikado was one Of the interesting
events Of the past week. Friends Of the
Home Opera Company turned out in COM
plimentary numbers TO witness the popu-

brilliant display; the stage setting and
costumes were resplendent with Japanese
colors, and the audience was in partial

Sensibly adorned by harmless. unobtru-
ribbon or wreath of flowers At last Sa-
vannah audiences have relegated hats,
horrible, obstructing, selfish hats, to the
past and has adopted the dear dlminu-
tive becoming substitute. If the wearers

permanent custom, 1t is a decidedly con-
epicuous mistake, to say nothing of bad
form, to wear hat in the theater. Like
all other innovations, il has been a long
weary time in coming to Savannah, but
now that 1t is Enthusiastically a permanent
custom, the hatless females are sincerely
congratulated on their final good sense
