Newspaper Page Text6 IN THE SOCIAL WORLD. GOVE THINGS THAT INTERESTED SOCIETY PEOPLE Li ST WEEK. Event* That Are Paat and Some That Are to Come—Weddings Teas and Germans —Movements of S:ms Well known People—Matters of More or lt-a Importance to Almost Every One. 1 think we aU agree that last Tuesday's K‘-r nan was the gayest and meet enjoyable one of the season. Mr. Daniel led it with his usual ease. Miss Sadie Anderson was a*ai i welcomed back to Savannah. She looked eery atately In her gown of nile green silk with crystal trimmings. Miss Thomson of Pennsylvania, attired in a charming pink gowa. was one of the visit ing guests. Also Miss Rspnliar of Phila delphia, whose gown was of •oft white silk. Among the usual attendants were Mrs. T. M. Cun ningham, Mrs. Alexander, Mrs. W. W. Gordon, Mrs. Oeorge Baldwin, the Mliset Lawton, Fleming, Comer, Ingram, Walters, Jones. .Stiles, Thomas, Taylor, Lester, Brady,Withers,Weed, Hardee, McAlpin.Fal ligaut, Woodbridge, Gardner, Whitehead, Screven, Backus, Jonea, Habersham, the Messrs. Mercer, Schley, McAlpin, Hart ridge, Cunningham, Head, Keech, Cox, Crane, Cann, Servaes. Gadsden, Hopkins, Wylly, LeHardy, Gamble, I.eaten, Charl ton, Carter, Kops, W. H. Schley, Gordon, Anderson, Wiiliamson, Cummlng, Whitehead, .Tohnson, Montague, Elliott, Lamar, Alexander, Ceseus, Guerard. The great question of tbo day at present ,mong the young ladius is, “Have you had n bid to see Sara'” Tbo fortunate one who ■can reply in the affirmative does so with a •mill g,' self satisfied air. But the one ; whose best young man may have offered tier a box party considers herself just a : trifle above lier fellow mortals. • Mr. and Mrs. Fred Johnstone, who have , Been in the city for the past few days, have Teturned to their homo again. The best dressed women of the present day wear their simplest gowns on the street. Miss Ellie Screvon is expected in the eity very shortly to be a guest of her friend,Miss Meta Thomas. Mr. and Mrs. Karow entertained very delightfully a few of their frionds at dinner on Wednesday evening. Miss Henrietta Myere left fur Washing ton this woek to spend the rest of the ■winter with her grandmother, Mrs. Phillips. The entertainment for the benefit of the iGuards will take place next Thursday even ing at the theater. It consists of a eomody acted by Mrs. George Baldwin, Messrs. A. !It. Lawton, Jr., and J. K. Cann, fallowed By Quaker songs and dances. Those taking (part in this Quaker meeting are the Misses Lawton, Screven, Fleming. Taylor, Phll lina. Weed, Stiles, Thomas, Woodbridge and Neely; the Messrs. Cosens, Hartndge, Thomas, Ijaekon, Gadsden, Berveas, Cam ming, Alexander, Williamson, Owens, Screven. It promises to be a most enjoy able affair. During the evening Miss Slone will recite some choice selections and Mr. Julian Walker will sing. Among the social oveuts of this week that I bear mentioned is a german compli mentary to the Misses Jones on Wednesday evening at the res.dsnce of Mr. William Neyle Habersham. The meeting of the Soiree Club last sven ing was not largely attended. The purpose of it was to elect members. It will soon give another of its delightful entertain ments. The leap year bell uuder the auspices of the Jewish young ladies, that I mentioned last week, is fixed for Feb. 15 at the De Soto. According to McAllister, It is the correct thing to use the word "rout” instead of ball, an old English word brought into fashion again. Miss Repplier of Philadelphia is visiting her aunt, Mrs. Octavos CoheD. Miss Brady is spending a few days with her friend, Miss Mabel Gordon. Mrs. Fleming and her two daughters, Miss Vida and Miss Eleanor, returned from New York last Sunday after a very delightful trip. Mrs. Anderson and her daughter, Miss Sadie, are here for the winter; they are for the present stopping at the Da Soto. They have taken a house on South Broad street and will soon occupy it. Avery pretty wedding will take place to morrow morning—that of Miss Annie Ro salie Pspy to Mr. Uhelps Warden Wilbou of Tallahassee. The ceremony will be per formed at the home of the bride’s uncle, Mr. Frank Papy, 00 Gaston street, at 10:30 o’olock, and will be witnessed by only the Intimate friends of the family. Many of their Fiorina frionds aro expected. The bridal party will leave on the mid-day train for Jacksonville. Mr. and Mrs. I .rater, Mrs. Lamar and Mrs. Huger of this city, are registered at the new hotel, The Cochran, in Washing ton. The dste for the ladies’ leap year ball has been fixed for Feb. 29. Dame Rumor Bays it will be handsomer than any ball of the Kind ever given here. The men are all wonder ing, will the ladies ask the men; I think not. The conceit of some of the gentlemen would be unbearable it they reoeived more than one Invitation. It is getting to be quite the thing now to have afternoons at homes, and it is very pleasant when out for a walk to drop in at one of these hospitable homes and have a chat over a friendly cup of tea. I hear that the Misses Owens receive their friends on Friday afternoons, Mrs. Eauors on Tues day afternoons, and Mrs. L. L. Goodwin on Monday afternoons. One of the prettiest luncheons of the Beeson was given by Miss Jett Howard, on Thursday, to sixteen of her friends. The decorations were white and green, the flowers being niphetos buds hid with pale green ribbons. There is a rumor of a german to be given at the DeSoto very shortly. Avery delightful luncneon waß gived by Mrs. Charles Dixon to twelve of her friends on Saturday morning. Miss Turner gave quite a large aftornoon tea on Friday afternoon. Among those present were Mrs. Terrill, Mrs. Woodlin, Mrs. Dripps, Mrs. Maitlaud-Dougall, Mrs. Dixon, Mrs. West, the Misses Jones, Flem ing, Clay, MoAlpin, Olmstead. Stiles, Hop kins, Comer, Dripps, I'ape, Withers, Good win, Hunter, Hale, Breeze, Walters, Weed, Gutrard, Harden, Gardner, Brady, Lester. The annual charity ball under the auspices of the lady managers of the Louisa Port-r Home will take place on Feb. 16. A special feature of the evening will be the minuet which Is under the management of Mrt. Wilder and Mrs. J. Florenoe Minis. It is to be danced by sixteen couples. The most graceful of Savannah’s graceful dancers have been selected. Miss Fannie Hartridge entertained a se lect few of her friends at luncheon at the De Soto yesterday. Mrs. T. M. Cunningham gave a supper to a few o? her lady friends on Wednesday evening. As 1 was walking along one of the love liest of our ve y lovely streets, deep in lonely meditation, I heard—was it the rust ling of the leaves, or the wind sighing through' This is what I heard, though it was so faint I had to strain rny ears to catch tbs meaning: "We won’t ask those mon who are always going stag to the ser mons; they don't deserve to be asked That was all. Where they wore *o be asked or when, I didn't heir, for just then some oue joined me, and the obatter of my friend quite drowned the faint murmuring I was trying to hear. Friday evening a birtbdav tea was given by Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Butler to their lit tle daughter Annie. Tbe young folks present were Misses Janie Haises. Rita Habersham, May dußignon, Georgia Ed monds m, Elisa Chisholm, Ethel Tarlor, Nellie R*nkm, Ellse Guerard, ltebie White. Carrie Belle Axson and Lizaie Butler. The table was beautifully decorxted with ferns, and the opalescent lanterns above shedding a soft mellow light brought to mind some unchained spot in a half-forgotten fairy tale, and you almost expected to see Queen Mab step forth and give you a wish. Danc ing and games were enjoyed and each little girl carried borne a souvenir of tho happy occasion. Tho wedding of Mr. Allen of Virginia and Miss Gustie Reeves will take place at St. John’s church this week. SUGGESTIONS FOR WOMEN. How to Dress so as to Get tbe Most of Life. Brooklyn, Jan. 10.—" Radicalism has not had the slightest Influence upon the modification of women’s costumes,’’ a famous man dressmaker told me the other dey. “If you observe,” be continued, "you Know that every eiL-rt that ha< been made to bring women to tho point of considering the adoption of masculine leaking garments has signally failed. It always will fail, be cause every day of our lives tho artistic is getting a firmer hold. The trouble in the past has been that the comrades which God lntendod to be inseparable, art nud health, good taste and hygiene, have been sepa rated. It is utterly impossible tor any thing to be artude which produces a strained effect. You may drape a com pression in the most artistic manner, but it Is like festoons upon a oorpse. The most of the drapery of late ba been of this kind, beautiful by itself, but hideous when applied. It seems strange to have an old customer come to me now and say: ’Please throw my gosvn on me, meti6ieur; I desire something 1 can turn round in,’ but you see, my dear madams, this lady with thousand! of others has been studying and observing, and the divine light of true art, only feebly discerned at first, ha3 at last penetrated and iliumtna ed bar own atmos phere She has now au admiration fvr long linos, fer soft oiTocts and a desire for comfort and the health and vitality which always come from comfort. Ah, madame, I could talk all day and yet not give any adequate idea of the wonderful progress that art has made in the matter of dress in the last three years.” I pondered upon this all tbe way home, and the words of the wraltby customer; "Please throw my gown on me, 1 desire something I can turn round in," struck a responsive cord in my own heart. This was a charming sermon from a ohartnlag source, albeit 1 have always nursed a little prejudice against men dressmakers. There is n > excuse for such an absence of logic, because if women are at liberty to do wnat we have heretofore been taught to consider men's wohk, there is no reason under the sun way men should not take up tbe more feminine occupations if they have a talent for them. Let us be just though the heavens tali. When ws arrange drapery of any sort, our ambition is to have it fall naturally into whatever form the material adapts it self to. This idea is bow being earned into the construction of woman's costumes, and though it may take a great manv years to oouvinre the ignorant und the silly that art and healtu are sisters, it will not take so many to assure them that if they desire to be fashionable they must be artistic whether they like it or not. For the comfort of those who fear that the radical and outre will obtain in this matter, I will say that consultation with the highest authorities convince me that we are in no danger. Women, for instance, will not woar trousers upon tbe street as meu do, though they will and do wear equestrienne tights without pot'leoats in hundreds of instances in New York city nlona These gsrmen s are warmer and safer than the old-fashioned sagging under and outside skirts. Not very leng ago a woman to be property dressed must wear a white embroidered flannel petticoat and an outside one. The latter was generally heavy and rested upoa the hips. In any oase it had a band liko the under one and both were "snug.” Now women who have thought these subjects out upon the artistic and hygeinto lines have declared against bauds abuut the waist, using the soft com bination wool underwear next the skin and the light-weight black trousers to take tbe plaee of tbe antiquated and unhyzeinio petticoat. As every dress skirt has its lin ing, the absence of the petliooat is not noticeable. I thought I would take nn inventory of a friend s costume the other night, for I knew it would point a moral aud adorn a tale. True art had not yet shed any light upoa her wav. “I wonder," she remarked, “what mak?9 me so tired. If you will excuse me I will put on a loess wrapper and see how that will feel. Do you kuqw,” she added, with the most charming naivete, "that some times when I undress myself 1 feel ail mads over new ?’’ ** Indeed ? ” said I, in the same tone. "Strangs, isn’t it ? ” "liideed it is. What can be the reason I" These are the garments she removed: First, a wide jet ooilar, next a black silk waist heavily trimmed with jet and as tight as a drum bead. Then she stepped out of a trained silk skirt trimmed on one side, from the waist to the ki ee, with the richest, and consequently the heaviest pas sementerie; next camo a quilted silk petti coat weighing forty pounds or less, then the usual flannel, then the elaborate corset waist, aud then tho corset. Words fa.l to describe the fit of this gnrment. The bulg ing adipose tissue at the bottom and tho top told an awful st iry, and the sigh of relief that came from tnis simpleton’s mouth ns this instrument of torture dropped to the floor, wns enough to make the very stones ory out in pity. "I am so particular about dressing warm ly,’’ the said as she lifted the quilted petti coat for me to examine. "Thess petticoats are not very fashionable now, you know, but I am determined to keep warm whether or no.” "How do you feel now*” I inquired, when wrapped in a soft, fleecy chamber robe she sank comfortably into a rocking cbair. •‘O, lovely,” was the enthusiastic answer. Did I say to this misguided woman that she could just as easily feel "lovely” all the time as n fragment of it I 1 did dot. Not tho remotest glimmer of the light of art had yet penetrated her at mosphere, ai-d I have learned not to waste raj ammunition. After a while some friend whom she rocognius as an exponent of style will in' dify her manner of dressing, and then this pretty friend of mine will begin to ask questions. That will be my opportunity. 1 am delighted with the scores of letters expressing satisfaction with my new ] aper, Kleanor Kirk's Idea, and am particularly grateful to the gentlemsn who have praised it, especially as I never expected them to read it. One man writes: “Thank heaven that while you are radical on many subjocts you are no crank, and that your efforts for your sex are in the line of health aud com mon sense. I can trust my wife and four daughters to your cars without a tremor.” A thousand thanks. No one can tell how precious such words are except to those who work bard to deserve them. Eueakor Kirk.
