Mrs. w. W. Rogers entertained the
Married Woman's Card Club very de-
Ightfully yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. w. E. Guerard, on Park
avenue. Attractive decorations of
roses made the rooms lovely. Fragrant
Marechal Niels were banked on the
mantel in the first drawing room, and
on the cabinets and stands were placed
vases of the lovely flowers, red and
pink, and white. In both the other
rooms the same plan was followed,
making the surroundings most charm
ing to see.
Mrs. Eldred Simkins, Miss Anna
Guerard and Miss Flora Dancy as

monkeys marked the ten hands, and
little fish those of twenty.

NEEDED
SAVANNAH MUST HAVE ONE FOR
BIG CONVENTIONS.
VETERANS REQUIRE BUILDING
AND THIS CITY WILL FIGHT FOR
NEXT REUNION.

''SnvaDnah Must BE Made Com

Savannah must have an auditorium!
Unless such a building is erected it
cannot hope to become the Convention
City by the Sea, and this is one Of the
titles for which it is striving.
AS soon as matters that are now
demanding the attention of the
Chamber of Commerce have been
taken care of, the question of building
an auditorium win come up. If the
next reunion of the Confederate Vet
Grams is held in Savannah, and every
effort is going to be made to land the
convention, it will be necessary to have
SuCu d WllnOul d
of this sort there, will be no place to
hold the sessions.
The same thing holds good with the
Travellers Protective Association,
which it is hoped to get for Savannah
in 1905. An auditorium must be built
or Savannah will have no chance of
securing the distinction that she seeks.
This fact is realized by those who are
working for conventions, and the audi
forum movement will be pushed.
Mr.. Oscar ]. Kulman, who is on
the Advertising Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, is enthusiastic
on the subject. I'VE must make Savan-
nah the Convention City by the Sea,
and if we expect to do this we will
have to build an auditorium" said Mr..
Kulman yesterday" There is moth
ing in the world that advertises a city
like a convention. Conventions made
Asheville what it is, and there is no
reason why Savannah cannot be made
more prominent in the same way.
I'm my opinion there is more real
good for a city in convention than
in any one other thing on earth. We
are located in the right place on the
map and have a city that attracts the
attention of every stranger who en-
ters her gate. Savannah is naturally
beautiful, her streets are well kept,
and surf bathing at Tybee is an at
traction this city holds out that can
not be duplicated by any other port
on the South Atlantic coast. To me it
seems to be an ideal convention city
and all that is required is to have
two or three conventions held here.
THE people who come upon these
occasions will do the rest. They will
be walking advertisements for Sa-
vannah and they will be sent back to
their homes with literature that will
tell of the advantages and attractions
that Savannah possesses. OF course,
there must be an auditorium to accom-
modate these folks while they are
holding their business sessions. Such
a building is absolutely necessary and
the money will be well spent. If we
pull together we should be able to
get the auditorium up before the next
reunion of veterans, and 1 feel GER
tain that it will be held in what some
day will be the convention city by the
sea-"

BUREAU OF INFORMATION.
Chamber of Commerce VIII Have
One During baptist Convention.

Chamber of Commerce Will Have
One During Baptist Convention.
The Chamber of Comemrce. will es-
tablish a bureau of information in
Chippewa Square during the Southern
Baptist Convention in Savannah from
May to IA. This was decided yester-
day in a conference between the Ad-
vertising Committee of the Chamber
of Commerce and the Park and Tree
Commission.
The commissioners stated that
though unalterably opposed to the use
of the squares for any such purposes,
yet under the circumstances, because
of the Importance of the convention
and the opportunity that will be given
to advertise the city, they would grant
the request. The decision was unani-
mously in favor of the plan.
The plans for the bureau, so far as
the building proper is concerned, have
not been completed, though they will
be very shortly. 1t is expected to place
the structure on the brick pavement
near the fountain, an excellent situa-
ton, as it will be both near the church
and in the heart of the city, convent
ent to all hotels and street car lines.
The building win be put up in time
for the opening of the convention.
AS was stated in the Morning News
when the plan was first brought up
by the Chamber of Commerce., 1t is
proposed to keep in the bureau a reg
lister in which will be put the name and
address of each person who calls, to
have a supply of souvenirs of the
city, one of which will be given to
each person registering, to furnish free
telephone and free messenger service,
and to have a person in charge who
will give general information of all
kinds.
The committee will see that the
booth is taken down promptly at the
close of the convention and guarantee
to restore the square to perfect con-
dition-that is, to attend to such clean
ing up or other work as may be neces-
sary.

AS TO SUMMER FRoCKs.

Many of the summer frocks will be
most elaborate. Painted gauzes made
up over plated chiffon, with squares
cut from the organdie, and the edges
embroidered, thus permitting the plait-
ed chiffon to be seen, are a vogue. Plain
silk gauze gowns will have medallions
of lace inserted here and there and
many tucks and ruffies, the latter hav-
ing insertions both in band and in
medallion of both black and white laces,
will form an additional trimming.
In some instances filmy white lace
medallions are placed over heavier
black ones in white gown, the effect
being soft and artistic.

We have been talking bridge for
some time and now it looks like
q bridge in reality. The engineers
have been making preliminary sur
veys of the most suitable places for
the proposed bridge across Saluds
river, and have submitted their plans
and specifications. ranging in price,
from $4,000 to $4,000. The plans
can be seen either at the Clerk of
Courts ofice or County Commission
ers Office.
We have been sounding the senti-
'raents Of our people in various sec
tions of our county and really find no
opposition to the building of this
bridge. It is an actual necessity,
and one that would add unto ID ad
vantage and benefit to the county.
Besides is can be built go easily that
no one could ol ject. A>levy of one
mill or less for three years would be
ample to meet all expenses, and our
people would thus pay for the bridge
end scarcely know it. No need for
bonds or interest to meet the ex-
pense. We trust that the proper
steps will be taken in due time.
