Thursday evening the Savannah So
Getty of Colonial Danes entertained
with a charming reception to the
visiting Danes present at the annual
meeting of the society Perhaps no build
ing in the city is better adapted for such
an entertainment than the Low residence
on Lafayette square, with its wide, old
fashioned hall and beautiful parlors, which
in their stately simplicity, recall an earlier
epoch than ours. Quaint mahogany ia
bles with their little brass ratings fas-
cinating old cabinets and high narrow
mantels alike bore masses and pyramids
of beautiful roses, while palms tastefully
grouped broke the severe angles of the
rooms which were frightened only by
soft lampiight. 1t was a disappointment
to the society that so few visiting Danes
were in the city on this occasion. but the
entertainment could scarcely have been
