TO AID COLLEGE GIRLS.

Home of Miss Hartridge.
Very charming in its social aspect
and the pleasure of congenial society
(which it afforded, as we'll as interest
isng in the occasion which suggested it,
WAS the tea sale given yesterday for
the benefit of the College All Society.
Miss Hartridges home on CASTOR
street, the scene of the affair, was
beautifully adapted to the purpose, the
Ithree long drawing rooms opening in
lilo each other, and the pretty hall
lNway affording just the space and
hight needed to insure comfort and
Inconvenience in the inspection of the
IAnany attractive articles offered for
Izsale.
The rooms were hung with Japa-
snese lanterns and great Japanese UNI
I4brellas, that gave a note of gayety to
Ithe surroundings and made the little
Isbooths below, with their array of pref
Nv things, even more inviting. Over
I2the stairway in the entrance hall were
Fastened several big bright-hued UNI
Ebrellas and on the landing under this
archway, behind mysterious curtains
sat Miss Backus, disguised as Mad
Name Baka," casting horoscopes for in
Eouisitive mortalS. In the rear hall
Twas another curtained recess, from
(which peered out, every moment or
1.-TWO, a gay Pierrette calling for little
Efolks to take a chance at the grab
Ebag' The children who had charge
Iof this corner were all dressed alike
hin white clown costumes, with red
trimmings. They were Miss Sidney
IGabbett, Miss Inez Tiedeman, Miss
Belle Battey, Miss Harvie Hull and
miss Helen Dixon. Opening into the
Ehall on the side opposite the drawing
Irooms was a smaller room, decorated
BIN the same Japanese scheme, where
Eices, cake, and other good things were
Eserved Mrs. Walter c. Hartridge and
Miss Catherine McIntire were III
Icharge here.
In the bay window in the first
Hdrawing room, Mrs. c. A. L. Cunning
Iham and Mrs. Harris Cope had charge
Eof table where tea cloths, tea
Ecosies, and various bits of linen use
Eful on the tea table could be pur-
Echased. Just next was collar table
Hin charge of Mrs. Henry D. Stevens,
who was assisted by Miss Georgia
Wayne. Mrs. Dent presided over a
liable of fancy articles at the opposite
Iiside of the room, and Miss Virginia
Lord Nisbet had charge of a table
containing articles of special value
In the dining room tea was served
by Mrs. Robert L. Mercer and Mrs.
H.. NJ. Lang, and nearby was the SYPHILIS
Rcave, within which Miss Anne But
Ter, as Signorina Fortuna, revealed the
mysteries of the future for small
compensation.
A very inviting table was that in
charge of Mrs. Frank c. Battey, who
Ndispensed sweetmeats teas, olives, pre-
Rserves, and other such good things.
Mrs. Wright Hunter and Miss Eula
HGamble presided at the candy table.
One of the prettiest spots in the
house was the long flower table at the
Nend of the last room with it's array
3Of roses, pansies, lilies, and violets.
Mrs Tracy G. Hunter, who presided
here, was assisted by Miss Belle Shot
Ster and Miss Nina Crane. Mrs. Thorn
I#as Wayne was in charge of the cake
liable, and Mrs. S. p Goodwin and Mrs.
H.. S. Wood dispensed small articles
hto the little folks.
All during the afternoon and evening
there was a constant stream of callers
and the time left over when shopping
was done was spent pleasantly enough
in chatting, and listening to the music.
/ Miss Lola Moynelo gave a number of
delightful instrumental selections in the
Infternoon, and Miss Saidee King sang
during the evening.
Miss Ward, who is president of the
/ College Aid Society, was assisted in re-
ceiving by Miss Hartridge and Miss
Stiles. The affair was not only delight
full socially, but it is believed that it's
material results will be of substantial
benefit to the society whose object is to
offer to Savannah girls the opportunity
of a college education.
While most of the articles were sold
yesterday, number of the prettiest tea
/ cloths and cosies and other smaller
things were left. These will be kept
at Miss Hartridge's home to-day and
anyone wishing to inspect them will be
cordially Welcomed this morning, and
a chance to purchase them will thus be
afforded to those unable to be present
yesterday or unable to make a salts
factory selection amid the many pleas
ant distractions of the afternoon.
