ORNAMENTAL BOAs.

The fashionable accompaniment of
the hat made of flowers is the floral
boa for smart occasions, says the
Philadelphia Times. These boas are
most effective when they are of the
same flowers as those which trim the
hat, although they may differ if they
agree in color-scheme or harmony.
Roses are the most used for such neck
pieces, although those with trailing
flowers, as sweet peas and lilacs, are
decidedly attractive. Chiffon boas are
garlanded with strings of pearls to
match the huge cabochons, cones,
buckles and ropes of the milk-white
gems now much used on hats. The
brides mother at a fashionable we'd
ding recently wore a ruf1ie of gray
chiffon in big fluffy pleats, decorated
with applique flowers in colored mus
lin. There is a decided tendency
among boas to widen into the collar
cite deep enough to cover the should
ers. For the majority of occasions the
black and black-and-white boas are
most popular. Black chenille pastilles
of varying sizes scattered over white
chiffon, or black lace motifs. usually
medallon-shaped applied to the thin
nest white China silk or minute yet
fluffy rosettes of black velvet ribbon
on white point d'esprit net are varia-
lions of the fashionable combination.

The Southern Railway has bought

Jacksonville last Monday, when Presi-

The Atlantic, Valdosta and Western
has 155 miles of road. The main line
extends from Jacksonville to valdos-
ia, 10 miles, and branches and spurs
make up the rest of the mileage. The

DOMESTIC BLISS.

They are a very newly-wed Savan-
nah couple, exiled in a Northern town,
and they are telling the story on
themselves. They were house-hunting
and cook-hunting at the same time,
and the kindly departing householder
suggested that her own cook was the
very woman for them. She was called,
and appeared on the scene, white of
skin and imposing. The youthful pair
considered her presence with awe, but
these were circumstances when the
family pride must be sustained. After
considering the matter with due gray
ity the young husband enquired anx-
iously, Can you scramble eggs?"
The affirmative response was given
with enthusiasm. 1t was madam s

And now the young couple are Won

DANCE OF BATTERY ID.

Among the pleasantest of the infor-
NAL dances of the informal summer
season was that given by Battery D,
of the Savannah Volunteer Guards
Battalion, last night. The dance was
given in the hall of the battalion, and
with the men in gay uniforms and the
summer girls in bright spring dresses,
all shifting and changing in the fig
ures of the dance, the picture was one
not soon or willingly forgotten.
1t was a military dance in it's every
feature. Instead of the customary
string orchestra a section of the First
Regiment band furnished the music
and it played swinging and fitting
waltzes and two-steps that carried an
invitation to the dance in every note.
The crowd was just large enough COM
fortably to fill the hall.
Dainty light refreshments were
served during the evening. A kindly
forethought on the part of the hosts
had provided electric fans that dis
tributed a reasonably good substitut
