SOCIETY IN MOBILE.

MoDlle, December N.-(Special. 1.-The home of Mrs. John Quill was thrown open Thursday afternoon for the largest affair of the season. It was card party given in honor of her two daughters, brides of the past spring, Mrs. Louis Parker and Mrs. Holcombe Quill The long drawing room, in white and gold, looked like fairy land when brilliantly lighted from electric light flowers in the ceiling and myriads of red wax candles, while the stately H.
 brary, in mahogany and red, was also very beautiful. The Turkish room is an
 octagonal den back of the library, with
 a vaulted roof dimly lighted by stained
 glass windows and with rich Oriental
 hangings and lanterns. Card tables were
 every where, and a pretty sight it was,
 with handsomely gowned women against
 such handsome back ground. The card tables were worked with red cardboard hearts and the scores were kept on gold
 en arrows, to which tiny red hearts were
 tied. The first prize, a water color pie
 ture on heart, was won by Mrs. Rhett
 Goode; the second, heart work basket,
 by Mrs. Robert Gage; the third, silver
 bonbniere, by Mrs Henry Hall. After
 the game elaborate refreshments were
 served, the ices. cakes and candies all
 being Cupid's hearts. Mrs. John Quill
 wore pale green peau de soie, Mrs.

 combe Quill heliotrope silk tissue. The
 flowers were red and white carnations and roses.
