Fisher, pastor of Trinity Methodist
Church, in the presence of a few friends
and relatives. The bride is from Liber
ty county, where she has a large circle
of friends. The groom was formerly
a resident of Augusta. He is president

headquarters in Savannah, and with
his bride will live here. Mr. and Mrs.
Jordan will leave on their bridal tour

ARM-TOP BUTTERFLIES.
Quite the loveliest thing in the way
of a debuntante's evening dress is of
finest Brussels net, spangled with sil
very bits that are formed into a lovely,
if scattering, design. And that is a
point: a heavy, rich scheme would be
entirely out of place on a fair young
bud.
This particular bit of youthful pret-
tineas is girdled with soft silk, which is
outlined top and bottom with Baroque
pearls. The neck is in the new shape,
pointing slightly front and back. Of
the sleeves there is little or nothing.
This modesty in the way of arm cov
ering is not likely to blush unseen,
however. Beyond the twist around the
arm-top there Is only a big butterfly
poised a bit back at each arm-top.
This butterfly is made of white tulle,
quite a quantity being gathered Into
the graceful wings. The body is form
ed of a wisp of tulle wound with gilver
thread. It hardly shows, however, the
wings are so ripply.
A JAPANESE LUNCHEON.
The table was set so that two chil
dren sat on a side, and was decorated
gayly with Japanese fans. Over the
table swung an open paper parasol. In
the gayest of colors, and from the tips
of eight of its ribs dangled a Japanese
doll tied up with a great bow of scar
let ribbon. From the rest of th# ribs
hung lanterns, all sizes, from the tiny
doll lanterns to the biggest that could
.be found.
The luncheon courses were simple,
hut delicious, and everything was
tricked out with some Japanese toy.

SAVANNAH’S OPERA FESTIVAL.
Savage Grand Opera Cos. Will Be
Here Jan. 13 and 14.
One of the most, If not the most, im
portant musical event of the season
will be the opera festival Friday and
Saturday, Jan. 13 and 14, when the
Savage English Grand Opera Com
pany will pay its first visit to Savan
nah. The organization will be heard
here In Wagner’s two most popular
music dramas “Lohengrin” and "Tann
haeuser,” and in Bizet's florid Spanish
opera “Carmen."
This company for the first time since
It was founded in Boston is making
a tour from coast to coast, its Itiner
ary covering over 10,000 miles. It has
just closed Its annual festival In Wash
ington, where the productions each
night were witnessed by what was de
scribed as the most distinguished au
diences thus far of the gay season In
the nation's capital. Savannah Is for
tunate to be one of the sixty-seven
cities visited.
Mr. Savage’s company numbers over
130 people, including artists and cho
rus, and carries a complete grand
opera orchestra of thirty musicians
under two conductors. To convey the
equipment of scenery, costumes and
properties, the Southern Railway has
furnished a special train of twelve cars,
eight of which are stored to the root
with scenery. Besides the score or
more of prlma donnas, tenors, bari
tones and basses that form the corps
of principals with the company, there
Is an all-American chorus of nearly
seventy voices, the members of which
are ambitious graduates of the lead
ing conservatories.
The advance manager for Mr. Savage
arrived In Savannah yesterday to com
plete the preliminary arrangements
for bringing the company. Opera fes
tival seats will be placed on rale Tues
day morning. Jan. 10, and Individual
purchasers will be limited to ten seats
each. The management considers this
rule necessary owing to the popular
prices at which Henry W. Savage pre
sents his company. It Is part of hla
educational plan In giving grand opera
In Englltsh to make the prices within
the reach of all classes of music lov
ers. The same scale will prevail here
as when the company Is heard In the
North, ranging no higher than $2.00 for
the best seats.
For the opening performance Mr.
Savage has selected Wagner's “Lohen
grin." It will be given in its entirety,
including overture, the beautiful "Wed
ding March.” Elsa's “Dream Song”
and all Its well-known melodies.
For the matinee performance on Sat
urday, there will bt an opportunity
to hear the gifted contralto, Marlon
Ivell, in her Impersonation of Carmen,
that has caused such wide comment
during the past two seasons.
For the farewell performance Sat
urday night. 'Tannhaeuser.'’ with Its
stirring harmonies, Its Immortal over
lure, “Pilgrims’ Chorus” and superb
sonorous beauties, will be the bill.

OVER THE SANDS
CANDIDATES GO
NOBLES OF ALEE TEMPLE
MET IN CEREMONIAL SESSION IN
FULL STRENGTH.
Corneous Parade Preceded the Gath
ering in the Temple—Eight Can
didates Escorted Over the HuraliiK
Sauds of the Desert to the Rest
and Peace of Alee Temple—Officers
Were Elected for Ensuing Year.
Zem-Zem Water and Unminet Fol
lowed Session,
In all the glory of the sun-kissed
clime of Araby the Blest, and in robes
that would have put even the famed
and wealthy Sultan Haroun At Raschtd
to shame Alee Temple. Ancient Arabic
Order. Nobles of the Mystic Shrine,
met last night in ceremonial session.
When the official scribe to the po
tentate was Instructed to get busy
and count fezes, he reported that there
were more than 120 gathered -together.
Then the devotees of Alee Temple, the
beautiful temple situated in the oasis
of Savannah, in the desert of Georgia,
rejoiced and were exceedingly glad.
And the Zem-Zem water flowed the
more freely and all faces turned joy
ously toward the East and toward the
great central temple wherein lies the
sacred Kaaba.
Though mercury was coyly flirting
with the freezing point, the sands of
the desert were never hotter. As though
the sun, like a great red hot, copper
disk had been shining upon them for
ages, they shimmered with the heat.
Eight Novitiates, escorted by certain
n-obles appointed for the duty by the
potentate, hustled them over the burn
ing sands.
When their foet blistered the other
nobles laughed and comforted them
with the thoughts of the delights that
awaited them in Alee. When they were
faint, by the way, they sprinkled the
all-powerful Zem-Zem on their parched
tongues and they arose and went on
with the Journey. The patient camels
lead the way. but the terror of the
novitiate was the gay and festive goat
that butted in at all opportunities.
Parade Opened the Journey.
The first thing of note that happen
ed was the parade. Starting from
Catholic Library Hall, the assembled
Nobles marched about the city. On
a gorgeously decorated and brilliantly
lighted float were the eight highest
officers of the Temple. On their heads
they wore the red fez of their faith
and about them were draped robes
whose silken beauty and splendid col
orings would have put to shame even
the once haughty Califf of Imperial
Bagdad.
The Illustrious Oriental Guide, Noble
Fred W. Garden; the Arab Patrol, in
charge of Capt. W. A. Burney, with
Lieut. W. W. Edgerton second in com
mand, and Noble C. C. Quackenbush
escorted the float of royal beings about
the dangerous by-ivays of the land of
the -unbelievers. Behind the float came
the Nobles of the Temple, clad In
evening dress and Wearing the bright
red fezes.
Were Other Doings.
4
After the Nobles finally again reach
ed the starting point the ceremonial
session began'and for more than three
hours there was “plenty doing.” The
troubles of the novitiate began in
earnest. He was hustled over the
burning sands, he was made to stand
bare-headed In the blazing sun, and In
fact everything possible was done to
remind him of the feet that the road
to Alee is as difficult to travel as are
the delights awaiting those who perse
vere and safely get there. All of the
eight who made the journey last
night landed safely. a
Then the temple began the selection
of the officers who are to guide them
through the coming year. This busi
ness was carried out solemnly and
carefully, as much of the success of
the temple and the star-encircling
scimitar depends on the qualifications
of these officers. Most capable offi
cials were selected and for another
year at least Alee will be a great suc
cess.
This over, the work of doing full
justice to the viands that the Imperial
cook had prepared •was taken up. All
the Nobles fell to with a will and did
full Just ce to a menu that would have
satisfied most particular of epi
cures. Zem-Zem water, eloquent ad
dresses, and the praises of A1 Koran
made the evening one which will be
long remembered.
It was decided to raise the Initiation
fee 'to S3O. this to include the fez. The
Shriners also made up a purse as a
New Year’s gift for Outer Guard
Thomas Robins because of faithful
service to Alee Temple.
The Officers Chosen.
It was after 1 o'clock when the Tem
ple allowed Its devotees to depart In
peace, and as each turned away with
the Arabic sigh of parting, a wish
forced Itself Into words that another
session be held as glorious as had been
this. The following are the officers
elected:

AT THE THEATER
Before an enthusiastic audience last
night the Arnold Stock Company pre
sented ’’The Garrison Girl." The spe
cialties between the acts were highly
entertaining and were frequently ap
plauded. -The Price of Silence" will
be the offering to-night. The company
will play matinee and night perform
ances to-morrow, when it will close a
successful engagement.
One of the most notable successes on
the American stage In recent years is
George Ade's four-act comedy drama,
“The County Chairman." not a musical
comedy, which Henry W. Savage will
offer on Monday, matinee and night.
It is a play that has no frills or furbe
lows. but faithful pictures of life In
a middle Western village, as it was in
the early 'BO s. George Ade. the au
thor, lived In Just such a community.
He knows what he is talking about,
and was able to write a great play
of rural American life. It ran for 312
performances at Wallaeks' Theater in
New York, and for 113 -performance*
at the Studcbaker Theater in Chicago.
On. telling how he came to write this
success, George Ade said recently:
"It always seemed to me that there
was a fund of excellent dramatic ma
terial right at our doors. Why bother
about foreign problem plays, which are
foreign in every sense to the American
understanding? I knew the country
people of the Middle West, loved them,
was brought up among them and still
spend my happiest hours In their soci
ety. I happened to suggest to Mr.
Savage that I thought an interesting
play might be made from the charac
ters one meets in these old-fashioned
communities. He said, ’Go ahead,’ and
that's ail there was to it." Seats on
sale this morning. Matinee prices are;
Orchestra, $1.50 and $1; balcony. 75
and 50 cents; gallery. 25 cents. At
night: Orchestra, $1.50; balcony, $1
and 75 cents; -gallery, 50 cents.
Creston Clarke, whose starring ven
tures in th legitimate field of dramatic
art have been so eminently successful,
has been booked to appear here on
next Thursday, matinee and night, on
which occasion he will offer "Monsieur
Beaucaire,” that beautiful romantic

fice to-morrow morning.. The prices
are, $1.50, *sl, 75 and 50 cents and gal
lery, 25 cents. It is a rare thing to
come across a person who does not
enjoy a college glee club concert, for It

entertainment. The Cornell clubs, for
example, are at home In every class of
music, from the “Faust” selections ren
dered with rare technique by the Man
dolin Club to the rag-time ditties of
the Glee Club vocalists. The organi

numbering 4,000, and the members are

WRONG IDEA.
Don’t get the wrong idea Into your
head that starvation Is good for Dys
pepsia.
Its nob
Those who have not studied the
subject very deeply, or with trained
scientific minds, might think so.
But facts prove otherwise.
All specialists in stomach and diges
tive disorders know, that It Is best
for dyspepsia to be well fed.
Wbv, dyspepsia Is really a starva
tion disease!
Your food doesn’t feed you.
By starvation you may give your
bowels and kidneys less to do. but
that does not cure your digestive trou
bel—simply makes you weaker and
sicker; less likely to be permanently
cured than ever.
No. the only right way to perma
nently cure yourself of any form of
dyspepsia or Indigestive trouble Is to
eat heartily of all the food that you
find best agrees with you. and help
your digestion to work with Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
This Is a safe, certain, scientific, re
liable method of treatment, which will
never fall to cure the most Obstinate
cases If persevered In.
Htuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have a
gentle, tonic, refreshing effeot on the
secretory glands of the entire digestive
tract.
