Eldridge, parents of-the groom, and on Friday night Mrs. El dridge was given another opportunity to meet her husband's host of friends, and thus meet many admirers she has won since she came to make her home in the Sunny Southland. Mrs. Kldridge, around whom all the interest of the occasion centered, was gowned most beautifully in daffodil silk, with chiffon. The folds of the white chiffon fell airily from the waist iu clinging lines, and showed a border of black velvet about the hem. The waist was trimmed with quaint bows of black velvet. Mrs, Kldridge has a gracious, unaffect ed manner, which is most charming. The past week has been given to many amusements. The bright balmy weather has brought the ladies out in large numbers, and the boulevards have been made lively by those seeking pleasure, driving and borse-back riding. Wedding bells have not ceased to chime 'the glad tidings: “Two I souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat a« one.” Yes, it is the same old story, but it is sweet to Hymen’s captives, and will al ways be.

Tlie cremo a la creme of society at tended tlio opera Tuesday night. Mis* Rita Selby, tbe charming prima donna, certainly deserved the audience which was *o justly battering in size and favor. She has a sweet, clear, perfectly trained voice, and her exocntlon of most difficult solo In the second act has never been surpassed by any who ever appeared before our footlights, and in deed, there are only a few of the great, celebrities, such as Patti or Abbott, wbo could have sung It better. Ur. J. Aldrich Libhey as Rubygold, ■bared the bonon with Miss Selby, tbe .tar, and had tbe opera been given in full, the poor stage setting, and seedy costumes could have been overlooked. The company left by tbe midnight train, and In order to meet another en- gagement gave Amerisui a hurried and unsatisfactory performace. Our enter prising opera home managers might mske a note of this cutting business and prevent it in future. * A pretty and notable wedding was solemnized at 8:00 o’clock Thurs day evening last at .the residence of the bride’s brothei>!n-Iaw, Mr. R. E. Byrd, in Lee ton. Miss Eva Flotard was married to Mr. Walter Baker, of Jack, sonviile, Fla. Tbe beautiful new borne of Mr. Byrd had been specially adorned for this occasion, and tbe many kind friends of Hiss Eva lent willing hearts and hands in making tbe pretty parlors charmingly lovely, deoomted as they were with exquisite bridal flowers and rare chrysanthemums, many beautiful offerings baring been sent tbe bride from her old Florida home. The ceremony was Impressively per formed by the Rev. Mr Dodd, of Jack sonville. The bride Is a typical French beauty of distinguished lineage, every gesture and feature is ot the attractive Fl-eneh patrician style. She was gowned in a rich traveling costume of golden brown, elegantly fitted to her stately figure. Tbe groom la a gentleman ;of pleasant social demeanor and received the strangers present most graciously. Both happily received tbe marriage congratu lations from relatives and near friends only who were present. An elegant sapper bad been prepared by Mrs. Flotard, tbs devoted mother of the bride, and a more beautiful wedding table could not be imagined. Tbe presents received by Mr. and Mrs. Baker were many exquisite gems of brio- a-brac and art The marriage is a most congenial one and the many friends of these yonng people feel that happiness mutt ever be their earthly portion. Mr. and Mrs. Baker left by tbe 11 o’elock p. ro. train for Jacksonville, where an attractive borne awaits tbe bride, all arranged by tbe groom aa a wedding gift to bis wife. ... ■The Fat Men’s Club” held tbe boards at the opera bouse on Thursday night Tbe entertainment they gave was for many [reasons quite refreshing. There was a decided departure from tbe usual stereotype farce comedy, end tbe per formance throughout was a clean farce and merrily appreciated by a large audience, ... Tbe german tendered by tbe Americas Club on Friday evening complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. Arch Eldridge was the social event of tbe fall season. The evening was tool and delightful, and the soft silver light of tbe moon never ebons on fairer women end more gallant men, as they Joyously wended their way to tbe handsome club rooms on Forsyth street The floral decorations wen superb, garlands of Ivy Climbed gracefully around tbe chandeliers, palms and bal sam fir were tbe rivals of exquisite ferns and smilax in their arrangement A lovely display of rare exotica was fur nished by Mr. George Staafidd, tbe flo rist, and at 10 o’clock the elegant apart- meats presented a dazzling picture. Tbe assemblage of beauty and loveli ness was one that will long be remem bered. Moat of society's favorites were peasant, each vising with tbe other to pey a fit tribute to their friends, Mr. El dridge, one of tbe most popular mem- ben of tbe dob, and his lovely bride.

Miss May Stafford of liarnesvl !le, a queenly-looking girl, wore a very taste fully made gown of orange colored satin. Waist and bodice daintily trimmed [with chiffon. Miss Stafford did not engage in tbe dance, but a more ebarmlng conversationalist one does not often meet Miss Sarah Cobb, always a social fa vorite, looked well in coetmne of cream silk and rose lace.

But they were not prepared for the spread which awaited them. Fverytbiug which tbe most epicurean taste could desire, and served In a man ner to bring tears of joy to the eyes of the gourmet. To say that the occasion was one of most exquisite enjoyment would be drawing it ‘very mildly. A great variety ot wild game (particularly notable being the ”duok”) helped to assuage the ravenous appeUtea of tbe guests, while the warm-hearted geniali ty of the host and hostess served to ren der doubly pleasant a supper enviable under any circumstances in its complete ness.
