Editor Morning News: l would like
a little space to call attention to the
Charleston Interstate and West Indian
Exposition, which is telling to the Wis
itors that the South is engaged in a
great industrial, educational and COM
mercial work. The Exposition grounds
are on the Ashley river side of the
city, about fifteen or twenty minutes
ride by street cars.
While I do not attempt any minute
description, the buildings are arranged
in horseshoe shape, and are very at
tractive and beautiful. The Admins
tration building at the entrance covers
fifteen thousand square feet. The Cot
ton Palace is one hundred and sixty
feet high and three hundred and sixty
feet long. surrounded by dome of
exquisite proportions. The Palaces of

MoDIsH FOOTWEAR.

Low shoes have been put on earlier
and worn later the last few years than
ever before.
Oxfords are not nearly so good style
this year as the Colonial tie, even when
the low shoe is like the regulation OK
ford in other respects it has a high
tongue or flap over the lacing in front,
the lacing being left underneath to hold
it firmly on the foot. The Colonial
tie, with ribbon bow and steeple or
Cuban heel. will please conservative
women best for street wear.
Those who like a fancier shape will
adopt the adorned one below
with the Louis heel. So. too, with hose;
the all-over open-work effect of the
past two seasons is now relegated to
second place in favor of the kind that
has embellishments that are only foot
high.
Lace inserts are the very handsomest
and most correct OF the latest show
ings The rather high price of this
dainty hosiery win keep it exclusive,

EASTER EGGS AND RABBITS.

real Easter party, with all that
the day suggests of the traditional
rabbit and his mysterious ways, was
given yesterday by Miss Fannie Tut
wiler. Mrs. Tutwiler's home, on Cas-
ton street, was decorated gayly with
smilax, and the children's own color
pink, was seen everywhere amid the
green in blooming aEaleas and sweet
roses.
Some amusing games were arranged
for the first part of the afternoon. One
of these was a sketching contest, lit
tie blackboard having been placed be-
tween the windows so that young art
lists might display their skill. The on
lockers were asked to discover the
name of the animals drawn, and the
favors awarded were reminders of the
Easter story. Miss Rosa Gibbs received
an egg filed with candy and Miss An
ME johnson a cunning toy rabbit
Besides the toy Dummies, whole fam
lily of eight live rabbits. which are the
especial pets of the little hostess, were
brought in to enjoy the festivities,
much to the delight of the youthful
guests. After the games the children
were led to the dining room and seat
ed at the table, which was a pretty
sight, even to grown-up eyes, with its
central vase of fragrant pink roses and
surrounding garlands of ribbon. At
each place was a souvenir box of candy
in the shape of an Easter egg, and
there was much gay laughter over the
popping of fancy crackers to get at the
comical little caps concealed within.
These were promptly donned and worn
until the end of the feast. AS a de-
| lightful finish to the afternoon, the
merry crowd trooped over to the pretty
hospital garden across the way for the
browning pleasure of an Easter egg
hunt.
Those who enjoyed the afternoon
were Miss Gertrude West, Miss Ruth
Rankin, Miss Nellie Schirnl, Misses Nor
ma and Emily Montague, Miss Elean-
or Cosens, Miss Helen Ellis, Miss Lou
Use Kelley, Miss Nell Charlton, Miss
Claudia Johnson, Miss Emma Wal

TO A DELIGHTED AUDIENCE.
"AII the Comforts of Home" Was
Presented at the Theater.

"AII the Comforts of Home" Was
Presented at the Theater.
can the Comforts of Home" was pre-
scented by amateurs at the Theater last
night. The production was for the
benefit Of the free kindergarten, which,
financially, Jared well. for the house
was very well filled by an interested
and appreciative audience. 1t was an
event that drew society, after Lenten
abstinence from so worldly an amuse-
ment as amateur theatricaIs. Several
theater parties enjoyed the perform
ance.
The play had been seen in Savannah
before, but it was enjoyed none the less
on that account. "All the Comforts of
Home is somewhat satirical title,
and the enactment was such as to con-
vince many that home comforts, if
they were to be construed from the
manner in which they were depicted,
are not altogether desirable,
Though a bit late in starting, owing
to the audiences lateness in appear
ing, the play went on without delays,
once the curtain was up. Entire acts
were brief, commendable promptness
that is not always characteristic of am
ateur productions, being shown. The
play was rehearsed under the direction
of Mr.. L. w. Nelson, and to his admir-
able stage management was due the
smooth and even manner in which it
was put on.
There was a finish abodt the PERFORM
ance that was noted by every one. The
cast had struggled with a constant
stream of untoward circumstances that.
from time to time, threatened the play.
1t kept bravely at work, however,
meeting and conquering the difficulties
as they offered, and may feel a pride
in the excellence of the results.
In costuming and in makeup. judg-
ment and taste were shown. There
was a proper understanding of the de-
mand of parts, and the art of CONVEX
sion of self into the play character
was excellently portrayed. The follow
ing was the cast:
Alfred Hastings, Pettibone's nephew,
Mr.. Noble Hardee.
Tom Mellow, a protege of Alfreds,
Mr.. William Neyle Colquitt.
Theodore Bender, ESQ., a retired pro-
duce dealer, Mr.. William S. Blum.
Josephine Bender, his wife, Miss An
ME Maclean.
Evangellne Bender, their daughter,
Miss Nina Crane.

Jealous man. Mr.. Edwin c. Ryals.
Rosabelle Pettibone, his second wife,
Mrs. George j. Baldwin.

Judson Langshorne, a young man Of
leisure, Mr.. A. Pratt Adams.

comique Miss Dora Cohen.

FOR CATHEDRAL FAIR.
Entertainment Given Last Night at
Catholic Library Hall.


4 delightful entertainment, for the
benefit of the Cathedral Fair, was
given last night at the Catholic Libra
~ Hall. There We're but a few num-
bers on the programme, but they made
up in their excellence for anything
that might have been missed in the
duration of the entertainment. None,
however. could have found fault upon
the score of the entertainments brevi-
ty, for dancing and refreshments fol-
lowed the programme. 1t might be
urged, too, that the programme was
not really short. for there were sew
eral encores, to all of which response
was made.
Probably there has been no number
of a programme presented in many
months in Savannah by amateurs
that was followed by such applause
as that given the celebrated song from
''Florodora, Tell Me, Pretty Maid
en-" This was sung by Miss Mar
guerite Suits, Mrs. H. A. Suits, Miss
airline Willard. Miss Julia Boyle, Mr..
Jack Black, DR.. H. i. O'Connor, Mr..
Frank Golden and Mr.. Dekle, all prop
erly costumed. Barring the fact that
In "Florodora" the song is sung by
double sextette, while the amateurs
presented it with double quartette,
there was little to be chosen between
the two renditions. So delighted was
the audience that four times the song
had to be sung.
An exhibition of the art of legerde-
main and hypnotism was given by
Louis Symons, and the young NEGRO
mancer acquitted himself admirably.
HIS sleight-of-hand tricks were APP
plauded literally.
Under the Shade of the Sheltering
Palm" was another "Florodora'' selec-
Eon. This was sung in splendid voice
oy Mr.. Frank Golden, and only some
dark-eyed Dolores was needed to make
perfect the number.
Miss Agnes Simmons, graceful lit

sung beautifully by Miss Airline Mil
