SOCIETY. FIVE HANDED EUCHRE. Unique * d Pretty Card Party Given by Mr. Overton. An original and interesting idea in the plan and a pretty uniqueness in the favors made the card party given yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Arthur Overton most attractive. Everything was arranged to suggest the appoint ments of the dressing table. The tally cards were decorated with pictures of dressing tables, and were prettily let tered and ornamented. To each of the tiny individual score cards was tied, with a pink or blue satin ribbon, a little powder puff, looking very Frenchy and frivolous when the tray ful was passed about among the guests on their arrival. Five-handed euchre, was played. The tiniest of puff boxes and minia ture combs and brushes were dis tributed for the twenty hands, and for the lone hands of ten, there were toy scissors, combs, mirrors, pink pin cushions, bottles of cologne, and little packages of powder and rouge. Most appropriately, all the decora tions were in pink and lovely long stemmed pink roses and in tall cut glass vases surrounded the guests on mantels and stands. The prizes carried out the idea of the affair. They were a Colonial glass puff box and powder puff, a small sil ver hand mirror, and a silver hat brush. They were won by Mrs. H. H. A PRETTV FROCK FOR A LITTLE GIRL. This little frock gives the now very popular long-shoulder effect, which is most becoming to small children. It is pretty made of white drilling, or double warp, which comes at 12% and 15 cents a yard. The design is embroidered in front in white working cotton, and the bands coming down the sides are briar stitched in the same. Designed for girls from 5 to 12 years of age.

A large meeting of the Savannah Chapter, U. D. C., was held yesterday afternoon at Veterans' Hall. Sixty one members were present. Mrs. A. B. Hull, presided. After the reading of the minutes by the recording sec- j rotary, Mrs. Dupont, the usual reports were made. The registrar announced the addition of three members to the chapter. Two scholarships have recently been given to the chapter, one by the School for Girls, Misses Pape and West, and one by Miss McLaughlin’s Chatham School of Shorthand. Appointments for these scholarships were made yes terday, It was decided to have four sets of the Jackson medal framed for presen tation to the Georgia room at Battle Abbey, Richmond, the Daughters of the Confederacy room at the Soldiers' Home, Atlanta, and Hodgson Hall and Confederate Veterans’ Hall of this city.

A pleasant incident of the afternoon was the reading of the following letter from Mrs. H. M. Branch. Mrs. L. W. Dupont, Recording Sec retary, Savannah Chapter, U. D. C. My Dear Mrs. Dupont: The high com pliment paid me by the Savannah Chapter, U. D. C., in conferring upon me the title of honorary president has touched me deeply, and I beg that you will express to the chapter my heart felt appreciation and assurance of my continued devotion to them and their glorious work. The Savannah chapter stands for all that is good and noblest in life—love of state, truth of history, devotion to a sacred cause, loving care of the liv ing, and faithful care of the dead he roes of the Confederacy. To be a member of such an organiza tion means much, and I know of no greater honor than the one just be stowed upon me. During my long illness my greatest grief has been that I could be of so little use, could accomplish so little for the Confederate cause. If it is given me to return to my home in health and strength, proud as I am of being honorary president, I shall yield to none in real active work for the cause. With renewed thanks and best wishes foV the chap ter’s success in its every undertaking, I am, faithfully yours, Marie E. Branch. The Jackson Health Resort, Jan. 25, 1904.

Among the very little folks, there was a captivating “Fairy Dance” by Miss Yettie Mirsky, a spirited "Military Dance” by Miss Ruth Morrison, and a song and dance by diminutive Miss Georgia Dickinson, whose naivete was altogether charming, and who not only sang clearly but went through her steps with wonderful precision.

The Bohemian Dance by Miss Sadie Sheftall. and the Flower Dance by Miss Annie Jones, were both particularly good numbers, and the Spanish Bolero by Miss Dolores Levy one of the best. There was nothing prettier on the programme than the Dance Gracioia by Miss Riette Levy, whose natural grace and lightness of movement were especially well suited to the steps. Miss Alice Battey, all dressed In green, with a wreath of white flowers in her hair, was seen in pretty scarf dance. . . . There were some good numbers by boys, a sailor’s hornpipe by Solomon Sheftall and a song and dance by Lawrence Semon. and some excellent ensemble dancing.

COLLEGE AFFAIRS TO BE DISCUSSED. Committee of Shorter College to Meet In Rome Tuesday. Important matters affecting the fu ture of Shorter College, Rome, will be discussed at a meeting of a commit tee, which will be held in Rome Tues day. One member of this committee, which consists of five persons, is Rev. Dr. J. D. Jordan, who will leave Mon day, making a short stop in Atlanta en route. One of the questions to be discussed is whether the college shall be con tinued under the present management —that is whether it shall be practical ly leased to the president in whom will be vested the right to elect the members of the faculty, and who is also responsible for the financial showing—or whether the trustees shall take over the active management of the college, elect the faculty them selves and assume the responsibility of the financial management as well. The committee will also be called on to consider the curriculum for the coming year. Dr. Jordan, is in favor, under existing conditions, of contin uing the present arrangement. He says the college is full to overflowing, and another dormitory should be built for the accommodation of the pupils. An agent has been appointed to raise the necessary money for this purpose, but he will not be able to start a can vass of the state until after July 1. He has been limited to that time in order not to interfere with the effort that is being made by Monroe Col lege to raise money for similar pur poses. With the new building added to Shorter College it is possible that a new arrangement of the management may be decided on. REV. DR. M’CORKLE WILL RETURN NEXT WEEK.

In this instance the "flying head" of * match Ignited the parlor ourtains in Mr. Pfell's residence, and spread to the sheet music lying on the piano before the work of extinguishing the blaze could be commenced. Mr. Pfell, we learn, alarmed the other members of the family, and returned to the parlor carrying a p’ail of water. The blaze had made such headway that he was unable alone to fight it. Occupants of the three other fiats hurried to his aid, and an aiarm of fire was sent in. When the firemen arrived several paintings had been destroyed, and the piano was ruined. The damage is estimated at about SBOO. • The head” of the match is recognized as a constant danger in al most every household, and it is a dan ger that should be removed speedily, either by the match trust or by the law. —Mother—"Have you taken your cold bath yet, Willie?” Willie—'"There wasn’t any cold water warm enough.’* —Chicago Dally News. 7
