grace of the Gibson drawing were per-

broke out into warm applause at the
charming sight. Miss Annie Butler and

la nELLE POMPADOUR.

Prints in light colors and adorned
with sprays of flowers or art nouveau
patterns are among the silks now the
rage The increase of the pompadour
craze is apparent on ever hand. Not
only are dresses cut in the styles of
the Louis XIV period, but brocades
and silks and ribbons are woven in
imitation of the fabrics dear to the
heart of la belle Pompadour.
The costumes of the Pompadour pc
riod (the middle of the eighteenth CEN
tury) while notable for the gorgeous
ness of material, were not especially
remarkable for elegance of form, The
short bodices were invariably straight
fronted and supplied with a contrast
ing vest of white or some plain ma
terial. Then, too, bodices and skirts
were almost invariably badly proper
toned. AS whole, the sleeves were
admirable, coming to the elbows, while
deep flounces of the material of the
gown often fell over a series of soft
frills of lace or equally diaphanous
stuff. Often the frills We're all of lace.
A new sleeve of black spotted silk
exemplifies the Pompadour idea it's
undcTSleeves of stitched white chiffon
frills OVERLAPPING a close-fitting cuff OF
lace.
A sleeve of tucked taffeta crossed at
the elbow by a wide, stitched cuff Sc
cured by single handsome button is
an admirable specimen of the Pom
padour art. From the cuff depends a
frill OF fine lace shading a tight fit
ting undersleeve of finely tucked white
crepe de chine.

TRIBUTE TO FALLIGANT.
CT Orgia Historical Society Adopted
ELOQUENT Resolution.

The March meeting of the Georgia
Historical Society was held at Hodg-
sen Hall last night At this meeting
were submitted and adopted the reso-
buttons of the society touching the
death of the late Judge Robert Fallli-
CAN'T They were submitted by a
committee consisting of Col. George
A. Mercer, Judge Thomas M. Norwood
and Mr.. Otis Ashmore and had been
prepared by the chairman of the com
mittee.
The memorial resolutions are elo-
quent and tenderly appreciative of the
high public services, the unusual
mental endowments and the lovable
and attractive personal characteris-
ties of Judge Falligant.
Abiding to Judge Falligant's MEM
bership in and services to the society,
the resolutions have this to say:
He was one of the oldest and one
of the most jealous of our members:
he. stood by US through evil and
good report, and continued with us
for better or for worse.
How often at the meetings of our
board of managers, which constituted
the customary quorum, he encouraged
us by his sanguine temper, enlivened
us by his humor and melloWed us a.
ways by his urbanity and kindness, To
those of the society who knew him best
and met him most frequently it is al
most impossible to associate him with
the thought of dissolution and decay.
He does not seem to us cofiined, but
only transferred. In some grander,
brighter and happier sphere his smile
is still seen, his voice is still heard, and
his contagious cheer and sympathy and
love still spread their influence around
him.
mo, the dead do not all die, and
some of them are not forgotten. These
still continue to cast their light be-
hind them, to transmit their effulg-
ence and to battle in a gleam of sun
shine and love their comrades and
their friends"
The resolutions provide for setting
apart a page of the minutes of the.
society for their transcription and for
the transmission of copy to the fam
lily of Judge Falllgant.
The standing oommtte of the so
ciety for the year were announced at
the meeting by President Mercer. The
president did not name the chairmen
of the committees, but left it with
each committee to select its own
head. The committees are as follows
Finance-Henry c.. Cunningham, c.
F. Fulton, u. H. McLams, William W.
Mackall. George j. Baldwin.

resi- gnation, caused by the removal of a
member from the city, was accepted.

A THRILLING RAILROAD TRIP.
by Two savannah Ladies Through
Flooded Country.

Two Savannah ladies reached home
flooded portions of Alabama and Geor-
gia, in which they encountered dam
gers and dscomforts that they will not
care soon to experience again.
The trip was begun at Jennings,
Tex, Thursday morning, and the ladies
should have reached here Friday night
All went well from Jennings to New
Orleans, but trouble began at Fiona
ton, Ala, where they were walked up
Friday morning and told they had beg
ter hunt for something TO eat in the
village, as there was a .washout ahead
and the train might be detained there
all day.
There were eighty-five people on the
car, and but one restaurant in the viii
lage. This, it is needless to say, WAS
totally inadequate to the needs of the
passengers, and so many of them were
forced TO t"rego the pleasure of a
breakfast. Dinner was ordered pre-
pared, but just before 1t was ready the
train left The station for a place some
twenty miles ahead, which, when
reached, was found to be under water,
so that the passengers had to leave the
cars for the station by walking on
planks stretched from the car steps TO
the platform.
There hasty meal was made of
what could be seized in a hurry and
the trip was continued to Evergreen,
near where they crossed a trestle so
far under water that the flood reached
the steps of the cars. The bridge was
only held in place by the anchoring
on it of cars loaded with coal. 1t was
a desperate thing to cross, but the
train crew decided to make the at
tempt. as the river was still rising
and it was quite possible also that a
washout was behind them.
There was the more danger ~ cross
ing the bridge. as the river was
bringing down in it's current logs of
wood, fence posts. torn from the ground
and still held together by the wire
fencing, and other debris of every
kind. To make long story short, the
whole county from within a few miles
east of New Orleans clear to Americas,
was under water, and washouts and
other and equally dangerous accidents
to the railroads made the trip take two
days longer than it should have taken.
The ladies praised most highly the
bravery of the train crew and the cour-
age and courtesy of their fellow trav-
elers,, but have no desire to go through
so thrilling an experience again.

AT THE THEATER.

The attraction last night was the
Casino Girl" The production was
heralded as the same that won fame
in London. Whether this be true or
not, the extravaganza only fairly
pleased the Savannah audience. Run
ming all through it, however, were good
things, and while they have no doubt
night, they kept the audience in
a good humor and kept it laugh
ing. Frank Bernard, dialect fun
ster of the broken-tongued Teutonic
school, who is said TO surpass all riv-
ais in the field by subtler characteri-
zation of a familiar type of German,
was enjoyable. Ben Grinnell, Harry
Burnham and Harry Short, all come
dams of a distinctive type. each pos
sessing a fun of humor were clever.
Harry a. Smith, young baritone,
pleased the audience.
Miss Clara Palmer, who last season
was the prima donna of the Francis
Wilson Opera Company, was clever.
GRANGE Common and Carrie Reynolds
were gay condolences. The chorus
was composed of shapely girls.
The story of the Casino Girl" carries
a coherent part, of sufficient interest
to make room for the many charac-
ters which are brought on during the
progress of the play commedienne
OF the Casino stage deserts it and flies
to Egypt to avoid an affair of the
heart. She turns to the creation of
millinery connections for a livelihood,
and is here discovered by her sweet
heart. who is New York doctor. From
this point amusing complications arise.
The costuming of the piece is good. A
tuneful score, with a variety of popu-
lar numbers, adds to the value of 1t
very much.
