18 T HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, S JEMBER 15, 1895. el This week and a few to come may be called, to use the words of seaside corre- spondents of other days, the *height” of the social season. There is enough going on and enough set down for the near future to satisfy the most enthusiastic devotee of pleasure, The event of the week was the reception given by Miss Hobart, and which was a most enjoyable affair and fully reported in these columns yesterday morning. The debutantes and belles of last season were out in full force, to say nothing of a large number of elderly people, who always add to a ball. It was quite 11 before people began to arrive, but when they did the dancing be- gan in good earnest and kept up until 4 and over yesterday morning. There was a o o brave show of gowns, most of the buds ap- | pearing in white. The house was beauti- fully arranged with Christmas berries in addition to the usual things usea by dec- orators and a goodly supply of mistletoe. o or o The Friday Fortnightly at its last meet- Ing was_rather slimly attended by the regular members, owing to other attrac- | tions, but the vacancies were filled by guests, who seemed to heartily enjoy the | delightful informality that always attends these dances.

Quite the talk now is abaut. Del Monte, where most of the smart set will be assembled to see the old year out and the new year in. The trouble in past vears has been the lack of attractions and | also, a most important matter to the busi- I ness as well as the dancing man, rapid | . The management is determined this time to make the event a notable one. Music will be a feature of the New Year ball. The baths are to be opened and a special train will be run, and that to Del | Monte will go right through. Heretofore | the specials have proven to be nothing | more than locals, but this time it will be a special in earnest for those who go from this City, the regular train doing the local. ol | ‘We hear that the wedding of Miss Ella | els ole | Goad and Osgood Hooker is to take place at the Goad residence the first week in Febru- ary, and that they will reside in Sausalito, where Mr. Hooker has taken a cottage for a term of months, There are to be no | | bridesmaids or ushers h e o | Mr. and Mrs. Sperry gave a luncheon last Sunday to Prince and Princess Ponia- towski at their home in Sausalito. { ENGAGEMENTS.

The mext meeting will be_ held January 8, and special efforts will be made to make it as delightful as possible. 0 The andiences at the Baldwin have been quite as gay and fashionable the past week as any seen here this season, not except- ing those which greeted “Trilby” or De Wolff Hopper. There were a number of parties again last evening, Tuesday and Saturday szeming to be the popular nights | with the smart set. oy Last evening the belles and beaux of the | {future enjoyed intensely the third meeting of their dancing class at Lunt’s Hall. As if to give the spectator an idea of the way the parts in the social drama will be sus- tained in a few yvears from this time, they selected their ‘‘Patronesses” from the pres- ent list of belles, and with a charming amount of dignity did these young ladies | fuifill their role of matrons. The dancers seemed quite at home and many of them, especially the girls, showed themselves to | be already adepts in the art. They intend to make the most of the holiday season and will have the next dance in about a fortnight. oo The marriage has just been announced, though it took place over a month ago, of Grove Davenport Deal to Miss Elinor Handy, both of San Francisco. The an- nouncement was a great surprise to their | many friends. The young gentleman is | the only son of the late M. S. Deal, editor aud proprietorof the Nevada City Trans- | cript, and is a nephew of the present | owner, Nat P. Brown, and also of the Hon. | W. E. F.

This will be followed by a round of din- ners on Tuesday, and among them being the much talked of dinner-dance given by Charles A. Baldwin in the maple room of the Palace Hotel, to which about eighty | people have beén bidden. The affair 1s to | be copied from the Eastern hunt balis, The gentlemen, 1 believe, are to appear in scarlet coats, knee breeches and white silk stockings. The iadies will appear in even- ing dress and in ail probability have | powdered hair. i | o e Following this comes a number of din- ner and theater parties, and on ¥riday the first cotillon of the Friday Night Club. | No invitations to a resident of the State | will be issuea and no one will be admitted without a ticket.

NEW INSURANCE OFFICE | The Norwich Union Company Will | Establish a Pacific Coast Head- ‘t quarters in This City. |- The most interesting insurance deal of ;the year was finaliy -adjusted yesterday, when the Norwich Union Insurance Com- pany announced that after Januaryl it |would open a general office of its own in | San Francisco, ‘with W. H. Lowden as manager for the Pacific Coast territory. Mr. Lowden has been assistant manager | of the North British and Mercantile Com- pany. This information was received yesterday by Rolla V. Watt, general manager of the oyal and the Norwich Union companies. The Queen Company of England will hereaiter be associated with the Royal in Mr. Watt's office. Some years ago the Royal acquired control of the Queen Com- pany, and since then has been contem- plating a union of these two concerns on the Pacific Coast. In_carrying out. this desire the two companies have Eecu placed [under Mr. Watt’s management, and for | that reason, too, he gave up the Norwich Union. In this connection, also, a ci was issued containing the following: Royal some years ago acquired the entire | business and plant of the Queen Insur- | ance Company of Liverpuvol, and has since | that time controlled 1ts business in Amer- tica.
