SOCIETY . FOR THE EASTER HOLIDAYS. Stuny of Savannah's College Stu dents Have Returned Hume. The return of many of Savannah's college boys and girls for the short en joyment of the Easter holidays, has been a pleasant incident of the past few days, and the streets now, morn ing and afternoon, are gay with their bright young faces. After the three months of hard study since Christmas, with its fortnight of gayety, to be at home again seems obviously good to them, and they spread a contagious pleasure as they pass. Whether there will be any entertain ing in the younger set during Easter tide has not been rumored, but as the holiday is briefer than at Christmas, and fewer come home to enjoy it par ties are usually infrequent. Sunday's steamer arriving from New Tork will bring in the last contingent of students, who are to have the good fortune of spending the holidays at home. Among those expected on it are Miss May Egan, Miss Mary Comer, and Mr. I.ouis H. Egan. Miss Audrey Deßenne and Wymber ley Deßenne, Jr., returned home yes terday. Among the'girls who arrived - A SMART BLOUSE. This blouse displays a great deal of good taste and style. It is often more difficult to get a good model for a plain blouse than for the more elaborate laeey affairs that can stand any amount of trimming. The severe lines are exceptionally good in this model. The box pleat coming down over the shoulder, hiding the seam and extending down into the sleeve, gives the effect to the shoulders so universally aimed after, while the little tabs crossing in front and the fullness which • comes from each shoulder add to its charm and becomingness. A heavy butchers’ linen would make a very pretty blouse from this design. It is also a good model for a waist in a shirt waist suit. earlier in (he week, are the Misses Photter, Miss Julia Hunter and Miss Lucy Barrow from Baltimore, and Miss Virginia Biesbee from Washington. The Yale boys who arrived yester day for the holidays are Mr. Antonio Waring, Mr. J. J. Waring, and Mr. A. R. Lawton, Jr. Mr. John Comer came earlier in the week. Among the others already at home are Mr. George J. Baldwin, Jr., Mr. Lester Karow, Mr. Charles Mills, and Mr. George Maclean. CARDS TO COCIfTHT CLIH RECEP TION.

In his sermon at the Duffy Street Baptist Church last night Rev, S. R. C. Adams took the ground that there was no excuse which the reasonable man could advance for rejecting the salvation which was brought to hu manity by Christ. The different ex cuses made were touched upon, and the fallacy of each from the Scrip tural standpoint brought out. The first excuse which Mr. Adams touched upon was that which claimed there was so much mystery in reli gion that the human mind could not grasp it. This he said was a fallacy as the lack of knowledge to understand a thing did not imply that the thing itself was untrue. As illustrations he cited the mind of the child which could not understand the full meaning of all the theories and maxims of mathe matics, but his lack of understanding did not invalidate the maxims or the theorems. The second excuse made, he said, was that religion was so gloomy. This, too, he characterized as a fallacy and due entirely to a misunderstanding. Religion, he said, is gloomy only to those who make it so. In truth it should make a man brighter and bet ter and happier. There should be no cause for gloom in the knowledge that one has been saved from eternal dam nation . The last excuse is that there are so many bad men in the church. That there were bad men in the church the speaker admitted, but scored vigorous ly the logic which determined the worth of a system by the character of the men who advocated it. Besides this, too, there were many good men in the church and a careful summary would show that the good men were far inlthe majority. In addition there are more bad men outside of the church than there are within its por tals. The meetings are increasing in in terest and larger congregations are in attendance each night. Meetings will be he'd as announced to-day and on Sunday. Numbers are professing con version each night. To Build Six House*. Dr. J. H. Collins has bought from M. J.

This was announced in Savannah yesterday morning by Maj. J. F. Han son, president of the Ocean Steamship Company, and of the Central of Geor gia, who was here for a short visit. It is expected that the new vessel will be launched in about two months. The City of Atlanta will be a sister ship of the City of Columbus, recent ly launched, but not yet completed, and not expected on the line between Savannah and New York until May 1, and it will be in practically every re spect a duplicate of that ship.

Accommodations for eighty first-class passengers will bo furnished on the hurricane deck. The dining saloon, which is located for ward, will be elaborately decorated, while the smoking room, sun parlor, officers’ quarters and pilot house will be located on the joiner deck.

Scantling and material used in the construction of the hull will be tested to the highest standard by ex perts. It Is too early yet to consider the plans for the launching, but the cere mony is likely to be witnessed by a large number of citizens of Atlanta, who have been for a long time anx ious to have their city represented with a namesake in the fleet of the Ocean Steamship Company. Following the usual custom. Maj. Hanson and the other chief officers of the company will also be present. Which captain of the fleet will be given charge of th* new snip is yet unknown, and will probably not be settled until the vessel is nearly ready to take its place on the line.
