IN SOCIETY'S DOMAINS.
RRAR@@sa @saR&@4R,

Miss Heads card party last evening was a charming success in every way. Three rooms were filled with small tables for the progressive game and each was decorated in a particular style and color.
 The young hostess to emphasize the prevailing shade, was gowned in pink taffeta silk, and won warm praise for the way in which she made every one feel t ease, ard did away altogether with stiff formality.
 Several young ladies assisted in the re- ceiving, and the merry hours passed all too quickly for the crowd of guests who thus enjoyed one of the most pleasant social functions given this season
 Mrs w. C. Fitts, of Montgomery, is visiting her mother, Mrs. Hewitt, on Fifth avenue.
 Miss Alma Lane is visiting friends at Georgetown, Ky.
 Today there leaves for old hEngland a party of young professionals from the Magic City. They go via Philadelphia and thence to Liverpool. The party con- ssts of Frank Nabers pharmacists; Sam uel Nabers, dentist; Hardee Johnston, doctor; Wm. M. Walker, lawyer, and Geo. Morrow, Jr. It would seem from cursory glance at the names of the dis tinguished and cultured young gentle men that DT MOTION ndu ueleIUlllltu lO afford Master George holiday and at the same time to surround him with such safeguards as would defy death, distance, dang and mock dest uction. They will all ride Liberty wheels and the proud pinions of the noble bird of liberty will Haunt in the breezes over their sturdy shoulders
 Leaving Liverpool they will start for Scotland and will swim all the locks, climb all the mountains and scale all the precipices which may impede their un- daunted way. Thence returning they will astound the noble peasantry of the north country with their American in- trepedity and nonchalance. Thence con- tinuing south, they will arrive in Lon don for the great jubilee. Queen Victoria has very courteously offered them apart ments at Windsor palace and H. R. H., the prince of Wales, purposes to place his yacht at their disposal in which they will return direct to Mobile, thence home.
 It is whispered that the sturdy phar- mac,st proposes to bring home one of the titled heiresses of that foggy cline. This however, is not to be wired to the Lon don papers, In fact Dumass great story of D'Artagnan, Othos, Porthos and Ara mis and their glorious doings in the cap ital of the world, will sink into utter m significance and sheer disrepute after the glowing deeds and chivalrous hero ism and magnificent valor of our Ala bama party. It is sincerely to be hoped that MT. George Morrow will return home, not out on bail, with full set or teeth, a sound body and a healthful stomach.
 On the perfect day which ushered in the month ef Jung Mir. Charles H. Colv n was married to Miss Addie Hill Evans, daughter of Hon. F. " Evans. Owing to the recent death of the brides mother, it was a. quiet home wedding, only the near relatives of the tracting parties being present
 The glarlng morning sunshine was ex- cluded from the room and only the soet radiance of lamp-light illuminated the scene. The floral d;c c.rations were taste ful and beautiful, the color scheme being white, pink and green. Across one corner of the room a lace-dr3ped alcove was formed flied with fragrant flowers and graceful palms. Within this alcove st 1od the minister, Rev. l.. S. Handley facing the company. The groom, dressed In the conventional black, entered the room with his cousin. MT. Gus Colvin Behind them came the young bride leaning on the arm of her father who placed her beside her fiance upon a pure white pric dieu opposite Dr. Handley. Then began the beautiful and impressive service, sug- gestivs of both the Presbyterian and Episcopal ritual, which made the two mem and wife.
 The bride was exquisi! e'y dress,d in white, orgarl5y, and carrie1 bouquet of choice white carnations. What a bsall- tiul picture she makes" softly whispered a lady of perfect taste, and studyfof the English voca bulary fails to supply words which, more fittingly describe the tout ense Hble. Congratulations were hur- niedly spoken; the bride donned her quiet black travelirg suit; and "farewell ard bon Voyage" accompanied by show.7s of rice, followed the parties to the wait ing carriages which conveyed the hlpny young couple to the union pass1rgee de- pot, accompanied by near relatives MT. and Mrs Colvln boarded the nor.flbounI Louisville and Nashville train for St. Louis; tberce they take a steamer for New Orleans, and will return to Bfrming- nam in about a fortnight
