SOCIETY,".

While for all who can afford it the sum
mer time is season when peoples one
idea is to escape from the city and the
south, if possible-a time when the old and
the very young, when hard-worked house
keepers and over-tasked society girls
when invalids and pleasure lovers all are
seeking change of climate and surround
ings; it must not be forgotten that for
the poor in their hot and crowded little
houses on glaring. dusty streets these
long summer months are almost unendur-
able. And because of their steady work
ing hours, their crowded quarters, and
often unpalatable food, the poor would be
benefited by a change, an occasional day
in the contry even, far more than those
of US who are more fortunate. To any
one who walks or rides through the poorer
sections of the town and sees the narrow
porches filled with sickly-looking people
painting for air, and the streets swarming
with little children hot and listless, the
thought must occur that even here, where
abject poverty is said to be the exception
there must be great suffering which Just
little charity might alleviate. Since the
visit of Mrs. Davis, the cor
responding secretary of the New
York Society of Kings Daughters a
new branch of the society has been form
ed in Savannah with the purpose of maxi
ing money to be spent on the poor children
of the city. This is called the Froebel
branch, with the motto, "A Little Child
Shall Lead Them" 1t is TO be hoped
that general interest will be felt in this
and that something like a fresh air or an
ice fund may be raised without delay
On Friday evening a delightful dance
was given by Miss Lordy and Miss Mamie
Nisbet at their fathers residence on
Forsyth park. This is the first of the
younger sets entertainments and as num-
bers of them are returning every week
now they will probably fill their summer
holidays with merriment of all kinds
