The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-12-13

The week has been a delightful one, as
to weather as well as socially. How ones
spirits are buoyed up by such perfect
days as these, except for the longing to
be out in the open country, where the blue
haze settles over the face of nature and
proclaims the last lingering days of In
dian summer. Perhaps, however, the
pleasures of a city life have been sufficient
for many of us, and there has been so
much going on in a social way the last
few days. Next week will also be a gay
one, with card parties, one of the largest
receptions of the season, and the attrac-
tive Butterfly fete, to which so many peo-
pie are looking forward. Also a novel
entertainment will take place next Satur-
day evening for the benefit of the free
kindergarten Under the management of
Mrs. ]. f. b. Beckwith, a series of Glib
sons pictures are being arranged, the
characters impersonated by a number of
society girls and men. and there is no
doubt about the success of such an en-
tertainment, the very name of Gibson be-
ing an attraction. Among those who will
take part will be Miss Elise Huger, Miss
Mabel Stoddard, Miss Sallie McAlpin, Miss
Nellie Baldwin, Miss Annie Conner, Miss
Grace Barnard, Miss caro- duBignon, Miss
Sarah Mills, Miss Nan duBignon, Miss
Elise Rauers, and Miss Rosa Sullivan.
The festivities of the week included the
german on Tuesday evening. which was
led by Mr.. Leopold Alexander, and chape-
roned by Mrs. Fleming duBignon, Mrs.
Louis Haskell and Mrs. Rauers. A number
of lovely gowns were worn, and it is
great satisfaction, to see tulles gauzes,
and other diaphanous materials coming
into vogue again for ball rooms, after the
stiff silks and heavy brocades of the past
few years. One particularly pretty costume
worn on Tuesday evening was of real old
timey SKY blue" tulle, with little white
ruff1es which even outlined the broad satin
sash; and another equally admired was
gown of soft white muslin, with tiny frills
on the skirt, on the waist, and on the
sleeves, and a wide white satin
sash. But it IS very bewfldering
to see number of attractive
dresses and decide on which is the love-
lest. Among those who danced the german
were: MIR. and Mrs. John Malloch, Mr. and
Mrs. w. w. Gordon, Jr., Mr.. and Mrs.
