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 w., a . n ?L h * r . very br, * ht and pretty set were the flags of all nations. r ‘'* Pr,er **■ served In the company °n the first floor during the even >ng. and here the decomtlons were all cr flower* and very beautiful.

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.

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.

BA. 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.

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.

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. T 9 - 4 RECORDER HAD LIGHT DOCKET.

INAUGURATION OF DIAZ. Event Mode One of Great Display by the Mexicans. City of Mexico. Dec. I.—The In auguration of Gen. Porforio Diaz as President of the Republic of Mexico for the seventh time and of Senor Don Ramon Corral as first vice president, took place to-day in the hall of the Chamber of Deputies under most auspicious circumstances. At sunrise to-day all the artillery stationed in the federal district, and also the infantry here and at bar racks throughout the republic, fired a presidental salute, and flags were hoisted over all public buildings. The principal streets and edifices and residences were decorated pro fusely with arches and national flags, freely interspersed with the flags of foreign nations. One of the features of the street decorations was two al legorical arches over the Paso De La Reform, the municipal street of the capital, representing ’Peace” and “Glory.” These arches were greatly admired on account of their artistic construction. There was a huge procession made up of thousands of federal troops, the reserves, bands, socieies, political Lirgartizations and many prominent political personages, including the governors of the states comprised in the union. The procession proceeded to the Hall of Congress, where amid great enthusiam the President and Vice President were formally notified of their election and took the oath of allegiance. The parade was then reviewed. To-night there was music on the various plazas by military bands and an inaugural ball, to which over 1,000 persons have received Invitations. Shortly after his inauguration, Presi dent Diaz tendered a reception to A. E. Stillwell’s party, which consists of fifty-five men prominent In the pro fessional and business life of the United States, who are interested in the Ibuilding of the Kansas City, Mex ican and Orient Railroad.
