VOLUME xrv., No. 297.
Social Incidents and Events
THE SOCIAL OUTLOOK
Although we -will have no horse show to add to the brilliancy of
our social outlook, the occurence of several notable weddings will add
luster to the social feature of the near future. Two of these brilliant
affairs mean the capture of two of Macon’s fairest princesses by two of
Augusta’s prominent representatives. One of the early November wed
dings carries away one of Augrusta’s most charming young women, the
groom-to-be, being a representative of a prominent northern family.
A wedding of exceptional beauty and interest is one which will
unite the hearts of two of Augusta s prominent social and representa
tive leaders. Each bride and groom of the future matrimonial outlook,
enjoys a delightful prominence, and popularity extending throughout the
large cities of both north and south.
The winter colony on the Hill promises to be unusually largo this
year. Those who do not own winter homes, have rented cottages, and
already several families have come to spend the season. The hotels bid
fair to entertain a number of prominent guests this year. Several new
homes, which will De completed about December, are being erected.
•*• * «
Life at the Country club begins ft> take on its winter aspect. The
Saturday afternoon teas and bridge parties are being well patronized.
Dinner dances and luncheons are booked for the near future. It is
not paradoxical to say that dances, luncheons and theatre parties are
taking the place of me bridge party form of entertainment, for such
seems to be the case.
The theatrical season promises to afford a high order to the winter’s
social life. The first social, theatrical feature of the season, was oc
casioned by the appearance of David Warfield last Monday night. The
costumes worn by the women of the audience added to the brilliancy of
the occasion. David Warfield will be followed by other prominent
stars, two of which will appear at the Grand during the coming week,
Fritz! Schott being seen Friday evening and Norman Hackett Saturday
matinee and evening. M.\ Hackett is socially known ip Augusta, and
during his week-end visit here he will be the recipient of several so
cial entertainments. A number of theatre parties have been formed
for both of these attractions.
VICKSBURG WEDDING OF
INTEREST TO AUGUSTANS
Invitations have been received in

WHITNEY BIBLE CLASS
ENTERTAINS.
One of the most delightful enter
tainments of the season wa3 given Frj.V
day night by the members of the Whit
ney Bible club, to the Young Ladies’
Bible classes of the First Presbyteri
an church.
The guests, numbering about twen
ty-five couples, were received in the
lower hall of the Telfair building,
which was artistically decorated in the
colors of the class. The chandelier
was wrapped in purple crape, with
streamers running; from this point to
all corners of the'room. In this hall
many games, appropriate to the occa
sion, were indulged in, until about
half-past nine, whe n it was announc
ed that an oyster supper awaited them
in the upper hall, which was soon the
scene of many couples in a brilliant
ly lighted banquet hall.
One peculiar feature of the evening
was, that the young men would not
allow any assistance from the hands
of the young ladies, and Mr. Earl
Hollingsworth made a decided hit by
the sfew, which this ignis artist pre
pared. After oysters and all the ap
petizers that go wit#i them came some
old-time delicious pound cake. The
diners then adjourned to the piano,
where several selections were render
ed, and the merry party retired to
their homes.
