SOCIETY .
reception and dance.
Mins Jail* Haiitor at Cotillion at
Gnnrds* Hall.
Given particular charm by the occa
sion which it marked, the formal In
troduction', to society of Miss Julia
Hunter, and with all that beauty of
decoration could add, the cotillion with
which Mr. and Mrs. James H. Hunter
entertained last evening at the Guard*'
Hall was a brilliant affair and will be
recorded as one of the notable event*
of the winter.
In addition to the Interest of Miss
Hunter's presence, Mr. and Mrs. Hun
ter were assisted in receiving by three
others of the season’s debutantes. Miss
Ethel Gay of Atlanta, Miss Anna Hun
ter, and Miss Cecilia Woods. The idea
was a pretty one, and the young girls
in their white gowns made a most at
tractive group.
No more beautiful scheme of decora
tion could have been planned for the
hall, corridors, and supper rooms, a
prevailing shade of soft rose pink giv
ing an appropriate and charming color
to the scene. The windows of the ball
room were hung with pink silk, and on
the white lace drapery that showed
at the center of each was caught a gar
land and Napoleon wreath of smilax.
All the large electric light globes
through the hall were covered with
pink crepe paper shades, and bamboo
vines were twisted about the clusters
of smaller lights.
Between every two windows stood a
slender cocas palm, the leaves showing
delicately against the white wall. The
upper wall around the entire hall was
veiled with a thin curtain of bamboo
vines, and from the gallery fell a drap
ery of bamiboo, looped up at the cen
ter, and drawn back at each side to
the wall below. The space under the
gallery was curtained with pink and
filled in with palms. A high screen of
palms and autumn leaves shut off In
a semi-circle the corner of the hall
next to the gallery, and here the mu
sicians were stationed. Rosenfeld's
Orchestra furnished the music. The
door at the opposite side of the hall
was hidden under a drapery of pink
end a pretty arrangement of palms and
bamboo, the smaller gallery being dec
orated in the same fashion as the larger
one. with vines and palm leaves.
On the platform in 'the corner of the
hall opposite the entrance were placed
the favor tables, each prettily draped
with vines of smilax. The platform It
self was banked at the rear and sides
with small palms and, with the bur
den of bright-colored favors made a
very attractive detail of the room.
The receiving party stood at the
south side of the hall lh a recess form
ed of two rows of palms, and very pret.
tily appointed. Overhead there was a
canopy effect of bamboo vines, and at
one side was placed a tall stand filled
with exquisite La France roses.
Miss Julia Hunter was beautifully
gowned in white embroidered chiffon
with a dotted pattern, over chiffon and
silk. The bodice was garnitured witn
lace of a delicate mesh, arranged in V
shaped design, broad at the shoulders,
where it extended over the short
sleeves and narrowing at the front, and
outlined with satin ribbon twisted to'
a soft cord. In this were caught at
Intervals tiny rosettes of chiffon. Bands
of lace were set into the skirt, which
had a panel front tucked almost to its
lower edge and then falling full. Thi3
was outlined in the same fashion as
the bodice with cords of satin ribbon
and little chiffon rosettes.
Miss Gay wore a lovely gown of
white crope de chine, the skirt pin
tucked in squares, with wide lace in
sertion let In about the groups of
tucks In pietty design. The bodice was
tucked in similar style, with inser
tions of lace. Deep lace edged with
a narrow chiffon frill made a pretty
drapery around the shoulders, and
over the sleeves fell knife-pleated ruf-
Ifles of crepe de chine, edged with lace.
Miss Anna Hunter wore a charming
gown of white crepe de chine, with
much pretty handwork and shirring.
A lace bertha was draped across tfie
bodice, which had drooping puffed
sleeves. The skirt was gathered into
rows of double shining below the hips,
■with a uaneled front, and was tucked
ell across its lower half, the tucks
graduating in size.
Miss Woods was gowned in white
marquisate over liberty satin, the skirt
pleated around the hips, and finished
with ruffles of the material. The bod
ice was draped to the left side, and
garnitured with white rosebuds and
leaves made of ribbon, the drop sleeves
being caught across the shoulder with
this pretty trimming.
Mrs. Hunter was gowned in soft
White silk, with lace. ,
The cotillion was led by Mr. Harris
Goodwin Cope with Miss Gay. A num
ber of unique and pretty figures were
introduced, and the favors were un
usually attractive. Assisting at the
favor table were Mrs. George L. Cope,
Jr., Mrs. Harris Cope. Mrs. Charles
B. Malone, Mrs. ■William R. Leaken.
Mrs. C. A. L. Cunningham, Miss M.
c. Johnson, Miss Margaret Cosens, and
Miss Nelly White.
The most original figure, and one of
the prettiest, was the football figure,
to which special interest was given
by the fart of Mr. Cope’s captaincy of
the Savannah football team, and which
was the occasion of no small amount
of enthusiasm and the loyal waving of
Savannah's colors. A football was hung
In the hall, and laced up with ribbons
by the girls and men in the dance,
thus making a pretty group, and the
favors were tiny footballs, ornamented
w th Savannah’s colors, the blue and
white.
In one figure, small brass trumpets
nd tiny automobiles with whistles
* oat could really blow were given out,
nd this, though rather noisy, created
much fun.
The favors in one very pretty figure
wers pink carnations on pins, for the
hair, and pink carnations for bouton
nieres. and in another, there were tis
sue paper horns, decorated with flow
kittle banjos, and silver, green,
and red snakes, that could be stretch
ed and wrapped around the arm or
neck were other attractive favors, and

proach was made was carpeted and
brightly illuminated, the chandeliers
and the walls at each side being dec
orated with smilax. The stairway was
arranged in the same fashion, bamboo
vines and palms entirely hiding the
railing and making the descent to the
first floor very attractive.
Quantities of flowers, pink and white,
roses, carnations, and delicate flower
ing plants, made the supper rooms
lovely. A long table at the center,
extending between the two rooms was
filled with pink and white carnations,
arranged in graceful stands, an ex
quisite mass of color and fragrance.
On each of the small tables was a
vase of flowers, roses or carnations,
or a pot of flowering pink begonias, the
effect of the whole scene, when the
guests in their evening gowns had as
sembled, being wonderfully pretty.
All the decorations were by Oelschig.

TO MAKE A BET OF WAISTCOATS.
To make yourself a set of waistcoats
It is best first to select a suit which
already contains a good waistcoat, or
to have your tailor make you one which
has the proper curve and fit. After
that the thing Is easy: for you have
only to rip It out and duplicate H In
any sort of ehade or material. A strik
ingly pretty waistcoat to go with a
navy blue suit might be made of red
broadcloth braided in gold or black..
Nothing is more fetching than the
stiff white pique vest for morning wear.
White pique always gives a woman that
clean, jaunty, business-like look without
In the least detracting from her femi
ninity.
The girl with a flat pocketbook and
many engagement* might collect all the
old pieces of brocade she could find
up attic, all the odd bits of cut vel
vet off her old frocks, all the short
ends of braid and old brass buttons,
and therefrom fashion herself at least
half a dozen of these bright touches
to her costume.

AT THE THEATER
“Monte Cristo" as presented by the
Murray Comedy Company at the the
ater last night, was one of the best
productions of the kind by a repertoire
company ever seen in Savannah. The
house was one of the largest of the
week, and’ this is saying much, as the
company is giving general satisfaction,
and draws good business each day.
The bill for to-morrow's matinee will
be “Foxy Grandpa.”
‘‘Sergeant Kitty," the comic opera
success of New York, will be present
ed by Manager George R. White for
the first time here to-ntght.
“Sergeant Kitty” was pronounced,
during its record run at Daly's Thea
ter and at the Casino, New York, to
be the best comic opera offered in
many years, and It pleased a large
audience in Charleston Wednesday
night.
The story of the play Is sufficiently
complicated to permit of a great num
ber of amusing situations that fit into
each other like the works of a watch.
Kitty is a winsome, headstrong and
pretty girl who is in love with a lieu
tenant in the French Hussars. She is
the -ward of an eccentric aunt who is
determined she Khali not marry at all
because'of her youth. Kitty is deter
mined to marry her handsome lieuten
ant and they arrange an elopement.
In a series of accidents they become
separated and Kitty, pursued by her
aunt, reaches the meeting place ahead
of the lieutenant. She must be mar
ried at once before her aunt, whom
she has locked in a pastry cook’s pan
try, escapes. In her trouble she dis
covers that her lieutenant lover’s or
derly has arrived with his master’s
uniform. Kitty coaxes the orderly to
don the uniform and act as a proxy
for the lieutenant and be married to
her. H# is a stupid orderly and a
screamingly funny scene follows. The
aunt escapes from the pantry and in
terrupts the wedding by causing the
orderly to be sent to prison for kid
napping KIRy.
There is another officer whose love
affairs mingle in a humorous way with
the love troubles of Kitty. This other
officer is the nephew of the command
ing general and he cannot marry un
til he Is 25 years of age without for
feiting a fortune to his uncle. He has.
however, married secretly. His wife
follows him to camp. He does not
want her known as his wife and in
troduces her as the wife of Kitty’s
lover. The complications that arise
from this confusion of wife and sweet
hearts are too funny for adequate de
scription in type.
To further augment the fun, there
IS’a captain who while traveling In a
railroad car with Kitty and her ec
centric old aunt, fell in love with
Kitty. She, a bit of a flirt by nature,
encouraged him and gave him a card,
telling him to write often. He did not
get her card, however. The mischief
loving Kitty gave him instead the card
of her old aunt who supposes her hus
band dead and is willing to marry
again.’ The captain corresponds with
the aunt, thinking he is writing to
Kitty, and finally proposes marriage
and is accepted. When he finds at
camp that the girt with whom he fell
in love is about, he attempts to make
love to Kitty, but she has a comic
scene with him in which she tells him
he has been accepted as the future
husband by her aunt and he will be
lucky if he escapes marrying her.
Miss Helen Byron is the winsome,
mischievous Kitty.; Edith Blair is the
tall beautiful prlma donna; Charles
Wayne Is ’the chief funtnaker, and
Miss Virginia Palmer is the eccentric
old aun Others in the long list of
princlpi .4: are Myrtle Lorimer, Clara
Lillian cieivllle, Clara Sterling, Syl
vain Langlois, Frederick Knights,
Wheeler Earl, George Pearce, Tom
Hadaway, George Lloyd, James Furcy
and Joseph Chafllee. Orchestra, $1.50
and $1; balcony, 75c and $1; gallery
50c.
The sale of seats for “Sherlock
Holmes’ ’’ engagement next Monday,
matinee and night, will open this
morning at 9 o’clock. Matinee prices
are: Orchestra, reserved, 50c; bal
cony, adults, 50c; children, 25c. Ad
mission at night: Orchestra, $1; bal
cony, 75 c and 50c; gallery, 25c. The
Norfolk Landmark says; Erroll Dun
bar, supported by a clever company,
gave two performances of “Sherlock
Holmes" at the Academy yesterday,
afternoon and night, and on both oc
casions before good-sized audiences.
The play was well staged and well
put on.
Mr. Joseph McAnallon, known sis the
Irish tenor, Is again one of the strong
cards of the Great Barlow Minstrels’
first part, last season singing ‘‘Why
Did They Sell Killarney?" to repeated
encores. He has a beautiful song of
similar character for the present show
In “I’m Longing for the Dear Old
Home Again.” Barlow’s minstrels will
be the attraction next Wednesday,
matinee and night. Seat* on sale Mon
day morning.
“SERGEANTITTY”~HAS
MR. SEASKIND’S GUARANTEE.
Manager Seeskind of the Savannah
Theater, stated last night that he de
sired to give his personal guarantee to
the excellence of the "Sergeant Kitty”
production which will be seen here to
night for the first time. Mr. Seeskind
says this Is, without doubt, one of the
best attractions of the kind on the
road.
The rumor which has been current
that there were but few seats left Is
without foundation. The house is not
more than half sold, and there are any
number of choloe seats, both upstairs
and downstairs, left.
