SOCIETY.
THE OPENING SEASON.
Some Delrntante Event* Scheduled
Fertile First Few Weeks.
As the dancing season approaches,
the picbable entertainment that wiU
open the winter gayety are being
widely discussed and, walla it is not
time yet for invitations, informal an
nouncement has been ma le of a num
ber of dates.
Predations made during the su.ti
mer of a very gay winter, will, it
seems almost certain, be fulfilled. The
number of debutantes is unusually
large and the season promises to be
a long one, both of whiih are always
good reasons for count’lig on many
entertainments. While all the debu
tantes will not give coming ou'. par
ties, and*a number of them will, a:>
is so much the custom in Savannah,
be introduced informally at the eoii.-
lious, there will be two or three large
entertainments of this character.
The first will be that of Altss Julia
Hunter, who will be formally in.ro
du ed to society at a cotillion to bo
given by her parents, Air. and Mrs.
James H. Hunter, at the Guards' Hall,
piobally on Tuesday evening, Nov. 22.
Tnis will, no doubt, precede the first
cot.,lion of the Cotillion Club, the date
of which has not yet been announced,
but which usually takes place the lat
ter part of November.
Pol owing Miss Hunter's introduction
will come that of Miss Cecilia Woods,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clayton If.
Woods, whose debut party will taka
place probably during the first week
in December.
A luncheon for the debutantes, to
be given by one of this season’s buds,
will also be a Novembe ' event, and
thee is rumor of several small af
fmrs of this sort besides the larger
entertainments.

OI'EMIIJIG ItAMK C ABIM.
One of the tastiest ways to start a
luncheon off with that cheeriest of all
sounds to a hostess' ears— laughter and
i chatter—ls to make your guests find
their own places at the table by means
of cleverly planned place cards.
For luncheons, like every other af
fair. are only hard to set going. When
the Ice Is once broken, conversation
(lows pretty freely, right along.
Leave names off your place cards,
but. Instead, decorate them with a lit
tle sketch In pen and Ink, or watei
colors—a sketch that describes each
girl’s hobby. Or, depend upon an apt
quotation or an original verse to point
her out. The girls will go from place
to place, guessing, until each finds her
own, and, all the time, the Jolllest sort
of confusion will rule.
After they are all settled, have each
girl read her verse out loud.
But k-ep your verses away from the
serious or sentimental. Oet humor lit
them. Make them full of good-natured
malice—the eort of caricaturing a trslt
that will make everybody, including
Savannah morning news: fiupay. October 21. toot.

GAME OE NOTED MEN.
The hostess begins by saying: “I
know a celebrated poet, the first part
of whose name is very black, and the
last is an elevation."
The player, responding “Coleridge,"
in turn describes the name of some
other noted person. For instance,
"Shakespeare,” saying: "X know a not
ed author and poet, the first part of
whose name people do when cold, the
last part is a weapon of warfare.”
Only give the profession, nothing
else. The following names readily lend
themselves to this simple but instruc
tive little game:

Long-fellow. Shell-ey (Shell-lea).

FOR A LUCK LUNCHEON.
How often does one feel obliged to
prepare a nice luncheon in a hurry. An
emergency dinner or luncheon dish in
the shape of croquettes for a small
family may be made of a small box of
canned salmon or a tiny can of chick
en. For a cupful of the fish make a
thick, white sauce of a cupful of milk,
two tablespoonfuls of butter, four ta
blespoonfuls of cornstarch, a little salt
and pepper. Stir in the flaked fish
freed from bones, a dash of paprika
and a tablespoonful of lemon juice.
Spread the mixture on a platter to cool.
When it is cold shape in croquettes,
roll in egg and cracker crumbs and fry
in deep fat. Serve hot. The same
method can be followed with cold or
canned chicken.
LITTLE BUSINESS FOR
LIBRARY MANAGERS.
Many Rooks That Have Not Yet
Been Returned.
Little but routine business occupied
the time of the public library man
agers at their October meeting last
night. Those present were Alessrs.
Baldwin, Wltcover, Travis, Thomas
and Ashmore.
The question of the books that are
still outstanding was taken up, and*a
report made that many had been se
cured, though there were still many
that had not been secured. The peo
ple who drew out some of the books
are dead, others have moved to dif
ferent states, some as far away as
Texas; and still others could not be
found. A continued effort will be able
to get in the books and greater pre
caution taken in the future about al
lowing books to be held out any
length of time after the limit allowed
by the library rules.
The Library Committee made its re
port. This showed that during the
month of September there had been a
total of 4,723 books taken from the li
brary, distributed among the different
departments as follows: Philosophy,
16; religion, 14; sociology, 17; philology,
1; natural science, 30; useful arts, 7;
fine arts, 11; literature, 71; history, 240;
and fiction, 4,316.
A total of 106 cards were issued dur
ing the month, making the total since
the opening of the library, 3,721. Theft
have been 6,583 visitors to the rooms
during September, making a total for
this year of 58,837.
No further business appearing, ad
journment was taken.

AMERICA’S FIRST GREEK THEATER.
Berkeley, Cal., Oct. 19.—The fine eucalyptus and cypress trees which look down Into the beautiful Greek
theater here are to see something new under the American sun—a Greek tragedy given In the open air, Just
as it might have been glve.n thousands of years ago among the hills of Greece.
The opening of the theater a year ago was celebrated by the production of "The Birds," under the direc
tion of the classical department.
It is more of an undertaking to give a tragedy, and to assist the students In this effort. President Wheeler
and the department Of Greek Invited Miss Mabel Hay Harrows of New York to rome to California and take the
direction of the "Aajsx" of Sophocles. She is here and the work Is well under wsv.
The etory of Aajsx makes Us appeal to-day us much as It did when It was played before the old Athen
ians, 400 years before Christ.
AT THE THEATER
Pretty and winning little Adelaide
Thurston, In that pretty little play.
“Polly Primrose,” is quite as much of
an attraction this year as last. That
no matinee whs given yesterday was
a disappointment to many of Miss
Thurston's Savßnnah admirers, but she
was warmly welcomed last night.
The romantic interest of the play Is
sufficiently strong to make the audience,
as a whole, quite lose sight of certain
flaws In the war sentiment towards the
climax, and Polly’s trick to rescue her
lover was warmly applauded. The
piece was set with the same accuracy
as last yt J ar, and the same charming
stage appointments, some of the in
dividual pieces of furniture and bric-a
brac being artistic enough to grace
a drawing-room off the stage.
Miss Thurston's company is a good
one. and she herself, prettily growned
and graceful, was as charming as ever.
Avery successful season may be pre
dicted for the production.
An attraction of special interest to
Savannahians in the William H.
West Minstrels, which appear here to
morrow night and matinee for the
benefit of the Elks will he Joe Aldert,
\ y ~- MHmaBKH
a Charleston boy of 17 years, who has
been seen here, and has visited friends
here. Young Aldert commenced' Iris
career on the stage three years ago
under the management of Air. Jake
Wells, the well known vaudeville cir
cuit manager, and he has risen rap
idly as a comedian and song and dance
artist.
The William H. West Minstrels are
said to be even larger and stronger
this season than ever before, carry
ing, as they do, the largest equip
ment of any minstrel company. The
color arrangement In the costuming
and scenic first part setting Is de
scribed as being particularly striking,
the entire scheme of color being ce
rise and gold. The scenery represents
the interior of a bund stand in one
of the palaces of the Old World, and
is embellished with actual reproduc
tions of statuary by some of the
world's greatest sculptors. The West
Alinstrels this season has a remark
able number of great singers; in fact,
they actually have sixteen vocalists,
and it is said that this feature alone
is bringing forth the most fulsome
praise from all sides. One of the many
strong features secured this season by
Manager Ricaby is the Lavalette
brothers, one of the greatest acts be
fore the public to-day. “Cyclus,” the
dare-devil in the cycle whirl, will be
seen at every performance. Matinee
prices are 25c and 50c; night, 25c to sl.
The sale of seats for Willard Spen
ser’s musical comedy opera, "Miss
Bob White,” on Monday night, will
open this morning at 9 o’clock. Or
chestra, $1.50; balcony, 75c and $1;
gallery, 25c.
It is not generally known, but it is
none the less true, that Willard Spen
ser, the author-composer, is the or
iginator of “dark changes” on the
stage during the action of the play.
It was his idea to have the change
made from the interior of Gen. Knick
erbocker's house to the Illuminated
Japanese garden in "The Little Ty
coon.” when it was first produced In
Philadelphia. When Air. Spenser first
suggested this Idea the stage manager
stood aghast. But it has now become
in the big productions very essential.
