The Georgia Society of the Colonial
Danes will meet in Savannah Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, during
which time there will be many guests
in the city. A programme of business
and entertainment, which no doubt will
prove highly enjoyable, has been ar
ranged by the board of the society.
Though the first days session does
not begin until Thursday, it is prob
able that nearly all of the visiting
members will be in the city on Thurs
day. The visiting members will be
the guests of the local members of the
society, during their stay in the city.
The annual meeting is always held in
Savannah, and never fails to be an
occasion of many social gatherings.
Coming as does this meeting directly
after the Lenten season, the entertain
ment will be doubly enjoyable.
The first meeting will be held on
Thursday morning at the De Soto at 10
o'clock. At this meeting the report of
all business transacted during the year
past will be read. Officers for the en-
suing year will also be Nominated, and
other business of routine character
transacted.
Tea at Club Rooms.
The evening of the first day will be
given UP to entertainment. An after
noon tea, from to 5 O'Clock, will be
given in honor of the visiting Danes
and other invited guests. This tea
will probably be given at the Hussars
Club, though the place has not been
definitely determined on.
The second business session will be
held on Friday morning at the same
hour and place as the day before.
This session will be the most impor-
tant, as at it the new members of the
board of control and the officers for
the ensuing year, who had been NOM
mated on the day previous, will be
elected. 1t is probable that the same
officers will be reelected, though, in
accordance with the constitution of
the Society, one-third of the board will
have to be newly elected.
On Friday afternoon the Danes will
be entertained by Mrs. Louis G.
Young, the vice president of the So
ciety. The entertainment will be in
! the form of a tea, the hours being from
to Z O'Clock. This will not be the
only social enjoyment which will
mark the day, for in the evening the
Danes are invited to a stereopticon
exhibition at the home of Mrs. Young.
The entertainment will be given at
$3.50 o'clock, the views exhibited repre-
senting the historical landmarks of the
Old Dominion.
Many Smaller Entertainments.
The details of the entertainment
have been arranged by the members
of the board who have met frequent
| " within the past week. 1t Is prob
| able that several other smaller en-
tertainments will be given. The place
for holding the reception tea on the
| first evening of the convention will
be decided on tomorrow.
There are no matters of any great
moment to come before the society
at the convention. 1t was hoped that
a meeting could be held at Fredrica
this year, but the work was not COM
pleted and the ladies found that II
would have to be deferred until next
year The Danes propose to devote
all of their energies to raising a fund
for the Oglethorpe monument, and
provided other organizations cooper
ate, will undertake no other work, aft
err the completion of the fort of Fred
RIGA, until the erection OF the monu-
ment is assured.
Among the distinguished guests will
be Mrs. Sage of Atlanta, who is al
present the state regent of the D. A
r.. Mrs. Joseph Lamar of Augusta
