The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-11-15

Thanksgiving is fast approaching, bring
ing with it colder days, energy and a re-
newal of Savannah gaiety. There are al
ready suggestions in the air for this week
The German Club is to be recognized, an
event eagerly looked forward to by the
debutants and still more so by those
whom a season or two have
been made familiar with it's Sc
crets. Speaking of debutantes re-
minds us that we hear of only a
few this year, among them Miss Frances
Charlton, Miss Belle Daniels, Miss Rosa
Sullivan and Miss Edmonston. However.
there are always several who make up
their minds at the last minute so, no
doubt, we shall have our usual number
of buds. We can no longer complain that
there are more strange than familiar
faces on the streets. Each day
we meet some old friend just
from the north or from some
resort whose mountain breezes. have
given her rosy cheeks and more energy
for a winter of dancing; while her tales
of a charmingly spent summer make us
think of the old saying, Thou, too, hast
lived in Arcadia" Enthusiastic interest
has been aroused in the Butterfly fete.
The patrons are busy securing the most
graceful dancers to take part and are
meeting with much success. Mrs. Good
rum is to take the part of Queen of the
May, and Miss Moynelo that of queen of
the Wood. The dances are the May Car
nival, La Butterfly. Lawn Tennis, Wood
Nymphs. The Merry Toboggan, The
Blackbirds The Rose Gavotte, The Sara
band, The Garland dance, the Amazon
March and Tarantella Mrs George T.

The Married Womens Club was reor-

elected. The first meeting will be held the
latter part of the month at Mrs. John

Miss Kate Bussey of this city will be

We can only regret that the marriage
of Miss Elizabeth Cope Mills and Mr.

did not take place in our own city, to
which Miss Mills has been so frequent and
so popular a visitor. From all accounts,
the wedding must have been beautiful and
one of the most brilliant affairs that Grif-
fin has ever known. We are very glad 10
give Miss Mills numerous Savannah
friends fun account, in which we know
the greatest interest win be taken. The
ceremony was performed at ST. George
Episcopal church at high noon, the Rev.

decorated with chrysanthemums of the
richest shades and with palms, bamboo
vines and smilaX, was mass of color. In
the chancel only white and green were
used, and the altar, with its white and
gold hangings its brass vases filled with
flowers and smilax, ana its sixty-four can
dies in gold and silver candelabra seemed
blaze Of light. For the front palms and
red chrysantnemums were chosen, while
every tone Of yellow, from the deepest
orange TO the palest gold, was used for
the choir rail, behind which sat the mem
