The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-04-25

After the quiet Of Lent, the past week
has seemed one of great gaiety, and nu-
merous entertainments have occupied so
ciety people. To many the regimental fair
has been a great attraction. while at the
theater the Guards Minstrels and the sue
cessful opera, zeliua, drew crowded
houses. On Tuesday evening the first of
the spring germans-of which this year
there are three-was danced at the Cath
ole Library hail. the Guards armory be-
ing occupied on that evening with the
opening of the fair. That the Savannah
girls retire from society before the men
do was shown by the fact that, while to
half Of the men present the old hall was
familiar only six of the farer sex had
ever danced the cotillion there before. Mr.
Leopold Alexander was the leader and
the four chaperones were Mrs. Lewis Has
kel Mrs. Rauers, Mrs. Il. NJ. Cunning
ham and Mrs. Fleming duBignon. The
