Annual New Years Entertainment
of Daughters of COnfederacy.
An annual event that is always
greeted by the dancing set with much
pleasure is the New Years ball of Sa-
vannah Chapter, Daughters of the Con-
federacy. These entertainments are
always delightful ones, with elaborate
and beautiful decoration and an ex-
cellent supper to add to enjoyment.
This years ball will take place at
the Guards Hall Thursday evening and
is anticipated as one of the most pleas
ant events of a week full of interesting
entertainments. In charge of the dec
orations are Miss Marie Dreese, Miss
McLaws and Miss wilkins, who will be
assisted by a large and efficient COM
mittee All the members of the chap
ter have been invited by Mrs. Hull to
act as a committee of the whole, the
various standing committees having
been asked to take charge in their
own departments. No special commit
tees were appointed, as it was felt that
only by the cooperation of the entire
chapter could the success of the enter
tainment be assured.
AS so much of the work of the
Daughters of the Confederacy benefits
those who were once soldiers, the mil
itary feature of the entertainment will
be emphasized this year. The mem
bers of the militia will. it is expected,
attend in uniform, and ii is hoped that
all military men in the city will take
an interest in the ball. The wives of
