PAPER PARTY AT MISS WEST’S
SCHOOL.
A pretty little event of yesterday
was the masquerade party given in
the evening at Miss West’s School
for Girls. The children were asked
to come in paper costumes, and the
idea of a “paper party” was carried
out in. many clever ways. The rooms
were decorated with paper garlands
and chains made by the children, in
terspersed with a little holly and mis
tletoe, as appropriate to the Christmas
season.
Santa Claus was present, dressed in
red paper, with a beard of white pa
per. Almost all the teachers wore pa
per costumes, and the children were
dressed in many pretty ways, as
Mother Goose characters and as flow
ers.
Miss Mary Osborne as “Little Jack
Horner" dispensed plums, * each of
which contained a fortune. There
was a paper Christmas tree fastened
to the wall, and the children, blind
folded, attempted to pin candles in
their proper place on the branches.
Santa Claus distrbuted little souve
nirs which had been'made by Miss
West and Miss Carmichael —for the
little children, dolls for the interme
diate department, umbrellas; and for
the older girls, chrysanthemums.
Only a few outsiders were present
besides the pupils and teachers. The
parent* had been asked informally to
be present, as had some of the older
sisters, and those who did attend en
joyed the little entertainment very
much. A pretty Incident of the even
ing was the Delsarte exercises given
by the children, with recitations.

TROTTING DRESS.
So great is the vogue of the trotting
dress that this Kind of costume is now
worn on the stage when the scene
gives opportunity for it, even though
La Parisienne herself might elect to
be draped in sweeping skirts.
As might have been predicted, this
trottolr is not too conventional. t lt is
of lainage Ecassaise, the big checks
playing pretty harmonies in green, red
and beige. The skirt is in graduat
ing plaits from the very belt. It is
worn with a beige bolero. Beneath
this little coat is a high corselet of
peau de chamois, which pointed deep
ly at the front. Turned-back cuffs fin
ish ' the sleeves just below the elbow,
and from under the cuffs the prettiest
Valenciennes frills show. A cravat of
the plaited Valenciennes lace supple
ments the linen collar and show be
tween the revers. which are in the
fashion of the directory.
GIFTS IN COPPER FOR MEN.
■Copper appears in many of the fin
est gifts. t
This metal of richest hue lends itself
to magnificent advantage and is espe
cially in evidence in gifts for men. In
most of these pieces the copper is
hammered and there’s additional
adornment in the shape of arrow
heads. These arrow heads are said to
be the “real thing,” having been used
by “Lo” In days more or less remote.
They certainly tone in beautifully with
the deep and richly-glowing copper
color.
One rich piece is in the shape of a
plain copper tankard. A veritable
shower of arrow heads is bound on
around It in primitive style. This piece
costs 138. The cigar Jar is decorated
in the same way, while the effectively
hammered cigar box is brass-bound
and finished with a row of antique
looking nail heads. There are entire
desk sets, as well a* complete smok
ing sets. The arrow-finished, hammer
ed-copper paper knives are exceeding
ly heavy. In most of these the arrow
head makes an effective handle.
NOTED WOMAN EDUCATOR.
Higher education for women in Ber
lin has Just received a noteworthy ac
cession in the person of Alice Hanson
Luce, Ph. D.. who has recently gone
abroad and has taken her place among
the prominent educational factors of
the German capital.
Dr. Luce is a native of Maine, and
entered Wellesley in 1880, graduating
with the degree of Bachelor of Arts
three years later. After an experience
of ten yeara as a teacher chiefly in the
Girls' Latin School, Boston, she spent
several years In advanced study of
philosophy, philology and literature at

her Ph. D., with the added distinction
of magna cum laude. She became pro
fessor of English at Smith and Welle#,
lay. and three yeara ago waa called to

pioneer co-educatlonal Inatltutlon,
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. DECEMBER 24. 1904
Oberlin College, which she has Just left
for work abroad.
Dean Luce is noted for her unusual
combination of high teaching qualities,
enthusiasm and love of work, with ad
ministrative ability and good business
sense. These traits, united with a good
physique and adaptability, have fitted
her for responsible posts In higher edu
cational service.
XMAS AT MISS PAPE’S SCHOOL.
The pupils of Miss Pape’s School
for Girls enjoyed an informal little
Christmas celebration at the school
rooms yesterday morning. The chil
dren themselves had decorated the
rooms with holly and mistletoe, and
had bought and decorated the tree,
which is to be presented by them
Monday to the children at the Telfair
Hospital. They had also filled a num
ber of stockings for the little in
mates of the Telfair Hospital and
these will be presented to-morrow
morning.
Christmas carols were sung, and
there were Christmas recitations, tell
ing how Christmas is kept in other
countries. Miss Nana Hull, disguis
ed as Santa Claus, afforded the little
people particular delight.
KINDERGARTEN CHRISTMAS TREE.
At the primary school and kinder
garten conducted by Miss Daniel and
Miss O’Mara in the Meadows, there
was a charming little Christmas cele
bration yesterday morning. A pretty
tree had been prepared for the chil
dren and upon it were hung the gifts
which they had made for their pa
rents, shaving balls for the fathers,
and baskets of rafia or cornshucks for
the mothers. #
Most of the mothers were present.
Some Christmas songs were sung, and
after the children had distributed their
gifts, they themselves were surprised
with gifts from Miss Daniel and Miss
O’Mara. Each girl received a. wooden
washlub, and each boy a tin boat.
Each child was also given a box of
candy and a horn.
HAWKINSVILLE SOCIAL ITEMS.
Hawkinsville, Ga., Dec. 23.—M. H.
Boyer, Esq., solicitor of the County
Court, and Miss Lena Lovejoy, daugh
ter of Mayor P. H. Lovejoy, were mar
ried yesterday at the home of the
bride, Rev. H. C. Buehholz, officiating.
Mr. J. W. Marshall of Macon and
Miss Call a Lilly of Vienna were mar
ried at the home of Judge P. T. Mo-
Griff, uncle of the bride, last night.
Rev. H. C. Buehholz performed the
ceremony.
AT THE THEATER
A small but appreciative audience
attended the production of "A Girl
From Dixie” last night. There are no
particular stars in the cast, but the
company is well voiced and consider
ably stronger numerically and other
wise than the one which presented the
piece here last year.
The comedy is replete with catchy
music, such as Harry B. Smith al
ways writes, and many of the airs are
of high merit. The principals were the
same as last year with the exception of
Kitty Calvert, who was interpreted
last night by Miss Gertrude Milling
ton, a young woman of much promise
in her chosen profession, and Maud
Mable Earl cared for by Olga May.
The singing of “The Sunflower and
the Sun” by Miss Julia Brink was the
most commendable offering of the
many beautiful songs. The piece will
be presented at a special matinee to
day, and to those who have never seen
this production of Smith's, it will not
be time wasted to attend. The pre
senting company arrived at a late
hour yesterday evening and the mem
bers were, consequently, very tired,
having ridden all day from Colum
bus. For an afternoon’s Jolly en
tertainment "A Girl From Dixie" is
the thing.
The Arnold Stock Company will pre
sent on Monday matinee, "The Little
Mother,” and at night, "A Daughter of
Satan,” a sensational melodrama in
■ four acts. A change of bill will be
given at tfach performance during the
engagement. Special vaudeville will be
introduced between the acts. Seats
are now on sale. At the matinee per
formance on Monday all seats will be
reserved, 30c admission; to the bal
cony, 20c; gallery, 10c.
THE CHRISTMAS TREE
AT EPWORTH CHURC.H
Little Ones Hnd Delightful Enter
tainment Last Night.
The annual Christmas tree entertain
ment at Epworth Methodist Church,
Rev. Isaac P. Tyson, pastor, was giv
en last night in the auditorium of the
church. All of the members of the
Sunday-school, together with their
parents and friends, were present, and
the excellent programme was enjoyed
by all.
The church had been very prettily
decorated in Christmas greenery. Long
festoons of holly and smilax stretched
from different points about the rooms,
and the platform was completely
screened with greenery and potted
plants. At appropriate points were
hung floral emblems that udded to the
beauty of the scene.
The programme, which was printed
in full in the Morning News of yes
terday, was excellently rendered. The
recitations, songs and drills were well
given and showed the marks of the
careful training through which the
participants had been put by their
teachers. There was not a hitch In
the programme and nothing occurred
to mar the pleasure of the event.
At a point in the programme near
the closing Santa Claus appeared and
began distributing the gifts that filled
the Christmas tree. There were gifts
Tor the children, for the fathers and
mothers, and for the friends of the
Sunday-school. Candy and fruits were
largely In evidence and not a scholar
went away empty-handed. At the
close of the entertainment one and all
voted it the most successful in the
history of the school.

TATTNALL COUNTY’S
CAMPAIGN FOR SHERIFF.
Feeding and Caro of Prisoners Onr
of <ha Imnra.
A prominent citizen of Tattnall coun
ty, who was in the city yesterday,
speaking of the situation, politically,
in that county, said: “Since Sheriff
A. D. Smith’s death there have been
a dozen or more men spoken of in
connection with the race for sheriff, but
there are now actually in the field
eight or nine candidates, among whom
are Willis Edwards, who was sheriff
of that county several ydars ago and
who is a Confederate veteran: J. B.
Collins, W. R. Philips, Sam J. Alex
ander, W. Y. Kennedy, John P. Rog
ers, Porter Patrick and Brantley Bur
rency. All are good men and ha.’e
personal popularity and large family
Influence.
“The primary will be held on Jan.
6, and the election will be held on Jan.
11. The feeding of the prisoners In
Jail and caring for the jail is one is
sue that is being made. Sheriff Smith,
who recently died, left a widow and
a large family, and Mr. Edwards, who
Is a candidate to succeed the dead Mr.
Smith, offers to allow Mrs. Smith the
privilege of furnishing meals and hoard,
in the jail, for the prisoners, while the
other candidates have not been hfard
from. This is very vital to the race,
and will have a great bearing upon the
result, as Sheriff Smith was perhaps
most popular man in the county,
and the people want to see that his
widow is properly cared for.
The campaign promises to be an in
teresting one, and even the best in
formed politicians cannot say thus far
ahead In such a mix up who will be
the winning candidate.
FROEBEL CIRCLE GAVE
BASKETS TO THE POOR.
Froebel Circle of The King's
Daughters made its distribution of
Christmas baskets to the poor yester
day afternoon. The ladies of the cir
cle met In the lecture room of The In
dependent Presbyterian Sunday
school in the morning and arranged
the baskets, and in the afternoon each
person who had been notified she was
to receive a basket, called and ob
tained one. About fifty were given
away and each contained one large
chicken, rice, tea. apples, oranges, two
pies, stockings for the children and
one bed comfort. The ladles of the
circle wish to extend their apprecia
tion for the donations.
