SOUVENIRS OF TRAVEL
Ht Card Party Given Yesterday By
Mra. J. S. Wood.
Mrs. J. S. Wood entertained yester
day afternoon with cards. The very
original idea of making it a tourists'
party, in which all the score cards and
lone hand favors should be souvenirs
of travel, gave much interest to the
afternoon.
Three rooms were used for the game,
nil being most attractively decorated
Jn yellow, with yellow shades on the
candles, and many lovely flowers, yel
low carnations and roses, in slender
vases on the mantels. A pretty con
trasting color was given in the long
hall, which was lighted by several
lamps shaded in red. A number bf
handsome palms were arranged here,
nnd near the door on a stand, was a
plant, the Jerusalem berry, covered
yvith its bright red fruit.
At the card tables, the scores were
kept on illustrated post cards, show
ing various American cities, and the
idea of travel was further suggested
in the little lone hand markers, which
yvere, for the ten hands, engines, trains
and horses, and for the twenty hands,
little gilt autos, cabs, hansoms and
other vehicles. All were tied with yel
low bows.
Mrs. Wood's guests were Mrs. Gor
don, Mrs. Henry McAlpin, Mrs. John
Heard Hunter, Mrs. Anderson Carmi
chael, Mrs. T. P. Waring, Mrs.
Charles B. Malone, Mrs. Murray Mc-

BELOTE-THIGPEN, VALDOSTA.
A aldosta, Ga., Dec. 9.—A quiet, but
pretty home wedding took place at the
residence of Mrs. R. S. Thigpen yester
day. The contracting parties were Miss
Annie Thigpen and Mr. M'assey Belote.
The parlor and drawing room were
handsomely decorated in autumn leaves
and cut flowers. The wedding march
was played by Miss AVillie Pearl Davis.
The ceremony Was performed by Rev.
L. R. Christie and was witnessed by
the intimate friends and relatives of
the contracting parties. After the cere
mony a reception was held, and later
in the evening the couple left for St
Augustine and other points in Florida.
AT THE THEATER
There is an element in the great ru
ral drama, “Quincy Adams Sawyer,”
which will be seen to-day, matinee and
night, to which much of the popular
ity of the play may be attributed, but
it is an element that to describe has
tested alike the ingenuity of press
agent, critic and public.
Whatever it may be, the fact is cer
tain that the play strikes an attribute
in humanity that makes everybody en
joy it, the blase city man as Well as
his country cousin. There is, too, a
freshness and novelty about this pro
duction that is particularly pleasing
to the jaded theater-goer. The story
is as much out of the ordinary as it
is pure in thought and action. Unlike
most rustic plays, it is not dependent
entirely upon the antics of the country
bumpkin for success. For, while the
'j:
Helene Hadley aa Alice Pelllngel la
“Rulncy Adam. Sawyer.”
characters are rural, there is a sweet
underlying story of human interest to
the community with which it deals
to carry and sustain the interest of
an audience.
There is one scene that has been
called a "scenic poem.” The sun sets
in a flood of golden glory and later
the moon rises in silvery splendor.
Less poetic, bit with no detail of per
fection spared, the other scenes have
been praised for their fidelity to rural
atmosphere.
Matinee prices are: Orchestra, 50c;
balcony, adults, 50c; children, 25c. At
night, orchestra, $1; balcony, 75e and
50c; gallery, 25c.
"The Smart Set," which will be the
offering on next Tuesday, matinee and
night, made an Impression on King
Bdward of Kngland while It was In
London. The King went to see the per
formance and was asked by one of hla
friends if he did not think It a mis
take to so publicly give hla approval
to colored artists. "Bless me," said
the King, "1 think they can give our
best comedians points! Why should i
not laugh? They amuse me." Heats
are now on sale. Matinee prlcea are;

MISS HOYLE, VIOUNISTE,
HAD TO BORROW GOWN
Her Audience at Campanari Concert Would Have
Never Thought It.
Probably few persons who attended
the Campanari concert Thursday night
and enjoyed the artistic efforts of the
artists knew of the difficulties under
which at least one of them. Miss Hoyle,
the violiniste labored, or they would
have been lost in wonder, not only at
her brilliant playing—one of the spe
cial features of the programme—but at
her composure while worrying about
what to a woman, whether genius or
merely society butterfly, is always of
supreme importance—the fit and be
comingness of her gown.
The story of Miss Hoyle’s tribula
tions, which leaked out yesterday, is
an interesting one and will be thor
oughly appreciated by every woman
who can imagine herself in a similar
fix. Briefly, the lady’s trunk, in which
were the various creations of the great
masters Felix and Redfern, failed to
show up and as the hour for the con
cert drew near Miss Hoyle, with noth
ing but a traveling gown to wear,
was in a state/Of mind easier to im
agine than describe.
Her embarrassment was made known
to one of the officers of the Music
Club and through him the sympathies
and the ißeip Of several of the ladies
of that organization was secured. The
telephone was worked overtime and
then one of the officers of the club
arrived at the De Soto with a car
riage and a list of the lady members
of the club who might reasonably be

supposed to have a gown that would
fit the article.
This list, it might be stated in re
counting the disappointments that fol
lowed, had been prepared in part by
one of the men identified with the club
and he proved himself a very poor
judge of avoirdupois, or else he esti
mated Miss Hoyle's figure by the size
of her reputation. Whatever the cause
there was trouble, for the lady in dis
tress and her friend with the car
riage went from house to house ex
plaining the predicament and trying
on gowns, all of which proved too
large.
A little knowledge of current litera
ture dealing with viollnistes would
have shown that though many of them
are tall, all of them are at least
svelte, probably from some unknown
antipathy between flesh and artistic
feeling. Anyway, Miss Hoyle was
svelte and as a result many calls were
made and many gowns tried before
one was found that met all require
ments. Then, with the strain on her
nerves over, the artiste fell on the
neck of her friend and though she
didn’t weep she was voluble in her ex
pressions of gratitude.
It may be said to the credit of ail
concerned that the gown finally se
cured was all that could have been de
sired of it and that It was much ad
mired by all who could let their
thoughts stray from the young lady’s
brilliant playing long enough to give
consideration to anything other than
the music.
