SOCIETY.
A DUTCH CARD PARTY.
Souvenirs of Holland at Entertain
ment Given by Mr*. Cbesnott.
A suggestion of Holland in the card
table appointments, introduced in
many pretty ways, gave to the card
party with Which Mrs. J. B. Chesnutt
entertained yesterday afternoon an
original and charming touch. The
score cards were beautifully painted in
water color, either with Delft sketches
or Dutch scenes. At the first table the
cards bore a head of the girl Queen
of Holland in Delft blue, and the in
dividual score cards for this table
were ornamented with the coat of
arms of the Netherlands, the individ
ual cards at the other tables being
decorated with Dutch scenes. All
were tied with the tri-color of the
Netherlands, red, white, and blue.
Many pretty flowers added to the
attractiveness of the drawing rooms.
The first was done in red, with Amer
ican Beauties on the. mantel, and red
carnations in other vases about the
room. In the second, yellow chrysan
themums were used, and the dining
room, opening out of it, was in red,
with red carnations filling the mantel,
and a bowl of deep red chrysanthe
mums on the buffet. The hall was
equally pretty with its arrangements
of palms and big bowls of chrysanthe
mums. On a pedestal, in the deep
hall window, stood a handsome bronze
electrolier, with red globes. Many of
the other lights were shaded in red,
the effect being very soft and pretty.
Mrs. Chesnutt was assisted by Mrs.
John S. Howkins, Miss Mary Comer,
and Miss Lily Lynah. Among the
other guests were Mrs. W. W. Gor
don, Mrs. Charles B. Malone, Mrs.
W. W. Williamson, Mrs. Anderson. W.

FOR LOSS OF APPETITE
Thaches Medicine Cos., Chattanooga.
Dear Sirs: Three years ago I had a
severe attack of Lagrippe which left me
with awful attacks of palpitation of the
heart, weak and nervous, insomnia, im
poverished blood, loss of appetite, dull,
languid feeling. I began using your
Liver and Blood Syrup and derived so
much good from it that I continued to
take it, and soon regained my health
and spirits. I found it excellent for in
digestion. It is all the medicine I take.

COLLEGE GLACE.
A dish to tempt any palate is "col
lege glace,” for which the following rec
ipe is given:
Beat to a stiff froth the whites of
five eggs, and in the meantime have
a cup and a half of sugar and a cup
ful of w*ater boiling slowly. When
“done to a hair” pour sugar water
slowly on the stiffly beaten whites,
beating constantly. Set away to cool,
then add a pint of whipped cream flav
ored with pineapple. Pack in a mold
and freeze.
A SEW STUDY.
An old, broken-down brougham stood
in the back yard of a fashionable New
York school for girls.
“What on earth is that old broug
ham for?” asked a visitor.
"That,” the principal of the school
replied, “is for teaching our girls how
to enter and disembark from a carriage
properly. The students climb in and
out of it three hours a week. They
learn thus to make their entrance and
exit with grace. They learn to get
in and out of a carriage as though they
were used to it.”
“A good idea,” the visitor; “a
useful branch of instruction. I have
seen many millionaires’ wives and
daughters behave very awkwardly in
the matter of entering and leaving their
carriages.”
“INES" AND “GVAS.V
’’Erminiva,’’ says the New York
Press, is the latest creation of the
modern manufacturer. It is the new
est addition to the long list of “lnes"
and “ivas” that enthrall My Lady of
the Bargain Counter. First we had
velveteen, which charmed the cook
lady and the shop lady into spending
all her stray pennies. Then came stlk
oline, which, in some localities, makes
silk a superfluity; then sateen, then
flannelette, then soapine, crinoline,
near-silk, wooline, polishine and a
hundred others which are “almost as
good.” Now at length the robes of
royalty £ave been dragged down to
imitation and goodness only knows
where the desecration will end. Some
day doubtless the society writers will
describe us as follows:
“Her lovely figurine was enveloped
in a robe of crepe de chine, while upon
her blondine hair she wore a velveteen
hat, trimmed with a long featherine
and tied under her chin by soft rib
bonettes, which gave her complexlon
ine an added glow.”
WHITEHEAD-I’ROWELL, BIRMING
HAM.
The following from the Birmingham
Age-Herald of Thursday is of inter
est to many SavUnnahians:
“The marriage of Miss Bertha Prow
ell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Prowell, and Mr. George Arthur White
head of Knoxville, Tenn., took place
yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock at the
Church of St. Mary's-on-the-High
lands, the ceremony being performed by
the rector. Rev. Oanty Johnson. The
church was decorated with palms and
the altar was glowing with lights.
“Miss Prowell were the loveliest of
brides in a gown of white crepe de
chine, with which she wore a picture
hat. Her flowers were lilies of the val
ley. Her maid of honor was her cousin,
Miss Elizabeth Jemison, who was en
tirely in white, her gown of white cloth
and her picture hat was also white.
She carried huge ragged chrysanthe
mums.
“Mr. Whitehead’s best man was Mr.
George Mercer of Savannah, and the
ushers were Mr. Jemison Pro well, Mr.
Morgan Frierson, Mr. Daniel Merri
wether of Knoxville, Tenn., Mr. J.
Bonner Dunlap of Chattanoogh, Mr.
Henry Parsons of New York, and Mr.
Walker of Knoxville.
"Mr. Whitehead and his bride left Im
mediately after the ceremony for their
wedding Journey and will be at home
in Knoxville. The bridal party was
entertained informally after the cere
mony at the home of the bride's par
ents, and the wedding toasts were
drank in rare old wine of a vintage
over one hundred years old.
“Miss Prowell is a notably charming
and attractive wom’an, and is a mem
ber of one of the oldest families in the
state.
“Mr. Whitehead is a prominent Ten
nesseean."
LANTER-O’DANIELS, STATESBORO.
Statesboro, Ga., Nov. 25. —A mar
riage here yesterday, in which consid
erable interest was manifested at
both places, was that of Prof. W. V.
Lanier of the High School of Millen
to Miss Lottie O'Daniels, first assist
ant of the Statesboro High School.
They were quietly married at the
home of Mr. W. C. Parker, and left

make their future home. A few of
the immediate friends were present.
Among them were Mr. and Mrs. W.
C. Parker. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Lanier,

sle Lanied, Miss Mattie Lively. Misses
Ola and Lena Evans, Miss Margaret

Y. M. C. A. Social for Young Men.
A social for young men was held in
the gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A.

Mr. L. B. Fowler; selection, Ahmeen
Mate Quartette; Jokes, Kecretary John

way. Packages made up of all man
ner of articles from animal crackers
to Irish potatoes, and daintily bound
In vari-colored ttasue paper, wars dis
tributed. A great deal of amuse
merit aas created by the opening of
the parcels.
AT THE THEATER
Miss Mabel Paige did last night what
no other company playing at popular
prices has ever attempted In Savan
nah, presented a most creditable ren
dition of Goethe’s “Faust.” Special
scenery and electrical effects for this
production are carried by the company,
and those who attended last night
thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment.
Miss Paige and company spent
Thanksgiving In Brunswick, giving
two performances there to crowded
houses. At to-day’s matinee an Ori
ental comedy drama, entitled, “The
Egyptian Slave,” will be the bill, and
at to-night’s closing performance ’’The
Miller’s Daughter” will be presented.
The Murray Comedy Company, pre
senting “The Bondman,” will open a
week’s engagement Monday. The com
pany carries twcnty-tivo people, head
ed bv Wilson R. Todd and Dorothy
Smith, late of tha Empire Stock Com
pany. Special permission has been
secured bv the management for pro
ducing a line of plays never before seen
in repertoire. New and novel special
ties will be Introduced between the
acts.
Every lady accompanied by a person
with a paid 30-cent ticket will bo ad
mitted free on opening night. Reserved
before 6 p. m.
At a time when the theater-goers of
this city have had quite enough of
popular-priced attractions the an
nouncement that a big comic opera
that has earned the praise of critics
in all sections is headed this way is
welcome. The comic opera. “Sergeant
Kitty,” will be presented on next Fri
day night. It is under the manage
ment of George R. White, and the
company presenting It Is a large one,
numbering .between fifty and sixty peo
ple. If the reports received from the
cities "Sergeant Kitty” has played this
season in the South are to be credited,
the play is a good one. It comes here
with records of success in New York,
Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore
and Richmond.
ENTERTAINMENT AT TRINITY.
Sunday-school'* Benefit Was a
Unique Success,
The entertainment given at the
Sunday-school room of Trinity Metho
dist Church last night for the benefit
of the Sunday-school was a distinct
success. There was a large audience
in attendance and the generous ap
plause was sufficient indication of the
favor with which the numbers were
received.
The most unique number of the pro
gramme was the last and it was heart
ily applauded, the applause being sus
tained until the number was repeated.
Ten young ladies, garbed as Japanese,
and armed with fans, the time-honor
ed weapon of femininity, marched on
the stage and executed a drill that
would have done credit to a military
organization. Many difficult move
ments were gone through with in per
fect unison. The symbols of coquetry
were carried out in detail and the ef
fect was pleasing.
The young ladles who took part in
this number were the Misses Pearl
Morton, Jule Morton, Edith Rowe,
Carrie Rowe, Annie McDaniel, Winnie
Miller, Ellen Miller, Cornelia Forbes,
Maude Horton and Alice Guzan. The
drill was directed by Mr. F. H. Mar
shall, who was garbed as a mandarin.
The bright colorings of the dresses
added to the beauty of the number.
Other features on the programme
were the recitations by Miss Eva Mc-
Williams and Mrs. Johnson. Little
Miss Marshall delightfully rendered a
piano solo, a violin solo was played
by Prof. Wlegand, and Mr. Roberts
sang several selections. At the close
of the entertainment refreshments
were served by a committee of ladies.

SQUIRRELS AT HOME
IN FORSYTH PARK.
The squirrels released in Forsyth
Bark last Wednesday by Alderman
James M. Dixon are fast becoming ac
customed to their new habitation. As
was previously stated in the Morning
Nows, the squirrels were sent to Aider
man Dixon by Supt. W. W. Crosby of
the Baltimore parks. They were at first
rather wild, but the familiar sight of
people tarrying In their walks to watch
their playful antics, seems U> have
made them feel quite at home.
Each morning and afternoon they
can be seen running over the grass in
search of their dully repast, playfully
chasing each other and then scamper
ing away as if pursued 'by some un
seen foe. Borne of them are so tame
they will allow the children within
reach and by a little coaxing will eat
from their hands.
