Evening at the De Soto.

At u Delightful Dance Given Last
Evening at the De Soto.
A very proper occasion for a Leap
Year dance is the 29th of February,
the date that makes this month signifi-
cant in Leap Year, and most charm
ing affair was the one given last even
ing at the De Soto. The dining hall
converted into ball, room and filed
with the ,gayly-dressed dancers, has
presented no scene more animated in
it's history.
The reception committee consisted
of Miss Bessie Lilienthal, the chair
man, and Miss Helen Binswanger, Miss
Viola Frank, Miss Lily Traub, Miss
Mamie Smith, and Miss Edith Robin
son. The bachelor guests entered
alone and We're received at the door
by the committee and handed over to
the tender mercies of the other hos
tesses of the evening, who gathered
about them in true Leap Year fashion,
filling in their dance cards, engaging
extras, and inviting partners for the
cOtillon after supper.
The lower half of the dining room
was screened with palms, and here
Rosenfeld's Orchestra was stationed
furnishing inspiring dance music.
Many handsome gowns were worn.
Miss Bessie Lilienthal looked very

OF fine white organdie, the skirt shirred
at wide intervals to the knees, and
ending in soft fall of ruffies and

of lace.

gowned in white chiffon, covered with

About the middle of the evening,
supper was served in the banquet hall
on the second floor. Here the decora-
lions were elaborate and artistic, all in
sort rose-color, with pink-shaded
lights. Great garlands of dollhouse
smilax fell across the lace drapery at
the windows. In the center of the
room was one large table, arranged in
the form of a hollow square. The
space within was filled with palms and
other tropical plants, and just from
their center rose a tall stand filled
with dozens of pink carnations, This
effect was most charming. A row Of
tiny plants, the pots of which We're
wrapped in pink crepe paper, orna-
mented the table along its inner edge,
and bon bon dishes, of red candy,
heartshaped, as we'll as the pink
covered ramekns to hold the refresh
ments, added to the effect and to the
sentiment of the evening. In the four
corners of the room, tables were ar
ranged for the chaperones, decorated
with CARNATIONS and ferns.
All the decorations were by Oelschig.
Immediately after supper the cotil-
lion was danced, led in turn by the
ladies of the reception committee,
who, as well as all the other ladies,
selected their own partners. There
were some unusually pretty favor fig
ures.
Pink carnations, the natural flowers,
were given in the first, and the effect
was very bright and charming. The
second was the engagement figure, in
which the girls knelt to present rings
to the favored. In the last, the men
received canes, tied with vari-colored
tulle, and the ladies neck ruches of
crepe paper, in many bright and
pleasing shades.

just cut of Hospital Would Flight

Needed.
Love of the mother country, inher-
ent in all human hearts, is no more
strikingly Illustrated than in the pres
ent war between Russia and Japan.
Most noticeable is the strong affec-
ton Of the olive skinned sons Of the
Orient who have expressed themselves
on the struggle their mother country
is now engaged in, and not excep-
tional are the sentiments expressed by
a Japanese serving man now attend
ing Messrs. Rob and Roy Rainey dur
ing their stay in Savannah.
This particular parsonage is Genjero
Yamabuchi. He has just been dis
charged from st. Joseph's Hospital,
where he was confined for
some days. Yamaguchi, natur-
ally intelligent even among his
own sagacious nationality, has absorb
ed much since his so1ourn in this coun-
try for the last seven years. He speaks
English and his volubility is only well
by his familiarity with the subject
under discussion.
Yamaguchi believes, like all Japa-
nese, that his country will come off
victorious in the struggle with Rus
STA. He does not see how she can
loose, and he accordingly depreciates
the merit of the opposing forces as
soldiers and brave men.
Il have known how we fight In ia
pan, he said to representative of the
Morning News yesterday and we are
not unprepared for the conflict in
which we are now engaged. l was in
Japan directly after the conclusion of
the war with China and from my OBJ
servations then / know that japan is
better prepared now than she has ever
been for struggle with almost any
power.
Need men? Umph, we can get all
the men we want, and II thought for
q minute that they needed me no pow
er could keep me in this country. l
have heard that one of your famous
warriors said was was well COM
pared to the regions internal, and so
we have found it, but when fighting
for our country we find 1t pleasure
beyond compare. Yes, l would go in a
minute if l thought 1 was needed, but
1 know that all the men that we can
use are to be had
Since the glorious eonquests of the
Empress lingo into Korea and the
subsequent establishment of the Budd-
hist religion. we have been known as
foemen worthy of our fight. and we
are sure to win now. We are yet UNI
conquered, yet we love not to fight for
the lust of blood, or the vain glories
of victory, without a cause
Yamaguchi is of a good family, It
having been suggested that he was di-
reetly descended from the Japanese
nobility. On this subject, however, he
will say nothing. He bears all of the
marks of a person of refinement, and
is highly educated.
