SOCIETY. 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- Gregor Stewart. Mrs. Clayton R. Woods, Mrs. John S. Howkins, Mrs. Harris Cope. Mrs. Reid Hobson, Mrs. Godin Guerard, Mrs. John M.

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.

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 ARRANGING RECEPTION FOR CAPT.

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. mandant H.
