THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAM — e \\\E\'\ \ i HE engagement of Walter Hobart | | and Miss Hannah Williams was | | the sole topic of interest in society | JU circles during the past week. i Every crumb of information | that could be obtained in regard tothe happy young couple was seized with avid- ity and eagerly descanted upon. Certain it is that never was there a more delightiul gallaut than Walter Hobart and equally certain that there never has beena more popular and charming belle than Miss Williams. The past season—Miss Walliams' | first in society—was for the handsome debutante a succession of trinmphs. So- cial sttentions were lavished upon her. | Her rooms were filled with flowers, and at ber first cotilion no less than eighteen young gentlemen stood in lne waiting to bid her good-night. But all these attentions have not turned her beautiful head even the slightest bit, and friends, acquaintances, and Trivals, alike have but kind things to say of ber. Altbough nothing authentic has yet been given out in regard to the wedding, those 1 a position to know state it will probably be a very quiet affair. Miss Wi liams’ mother has for many years been a confirmed invalid, ana theexcitement con- sequent upon an elaborate wedding would be more than she could bear. The bride's sister, Miss Juliet Williams, will be maid | of honor, M Hobart and Miss McBean the bridesmaids. Mr. Hobart has asked | Hharry Stetson to be his best man. Speculation is rife concerning the en- gagement ri Again those in a position to state declare it probably begthe celebrated Hobare rut When the Hobart jewels were divided among the heirs this ruby fell to Walter Hobart’s share. Mrs. Hobart set great store by that stone, which is said to be one | of the finest and largest rubies in the world and is valued at $7000. Young Hobart makes an ideai fiance. The notes he has sent out in answer to the | thousands of congratulations that have | poured in on him testify to his great hap- piness. He fully appreciates the many gifts of the young beauty he has won and writes: ‘Her beauty is the least of her many charms.” An interesting engagement {o announce pa is that of Mrs. K. B. Faver and Harry | Mrs. Faver is | Babeock, both of this City. a sister of Mrs. Lawrence Pool. Mr. Bab- cock is the son of the late William Bab- cock and brother of Mrs. Charles B. Brig- ham, Mrs. George Storey and William Babcock. The date of the wedding has not yet been set. Mrs. Osgood Hooker (nee Goad) has been entertaining in a very quiet way some of her most intimate friends at her lovely place at Sausalito. Those who have been fortunate enough to be the guests of the young bride are enthusiastic about the beanty of her sub- urban cottage and the rare taste with which it is furnished. Many of the elegant wedding presents have been brought over to embellish the lovely home, Mr. and Mrs, Burt Holladay (nee Hunt- ington) are expected in about a forinight, and a large number of entertainmentsin their honer are already being planned. The young couple will maka their home with Mr. Holladay’s parents at “Holladay Heights,” corner of Clay and Octavia streets. Rt The friends of the Prince and Princess Hatzfeldt have been. dpprised of the fact that they nave taken a handsome English country estate, adjoining that of Sir Bache and Lady Cunard (nee Burke). The prince and princess have been for the past two months the guests of Lady Cunard and so charmed were they with the sur- roundings and the hunting and shooting that they secured the neighboring seat. Some idea of the immensity of the estate may be gleaned from the fact that it re- quires a retinue of thirty servants and there is a stable of forty horses. The Hatzfeidts are to have large house parties during the hunting season next fall and it is rumored that some of their California friends will be asked to join them. At the Presidio there have been a num- ber of changes that have brightened up a bit the dull Lenten monotony. Dr. Girard, who hus been ordered te Jefferson Bar- racks, near St. Louis, wiil be relieved by Dr.Wood and Dr. Edee. Dr. Edee is a pop- ular man in Washington society and both he and Dr. Wocd are bachelors, Lieutenant rlemming of Kentucky (Fitth Artillery) has peen ordered to ‘Washington, a position he has secured through the influence of is father, auditor of the United States Senate.

MILITARY KICKERS. Fifth Regiment, Boys’ Brigade, De- feated the Second Begiment at Football. This side of the bay as represented by the Fifth Regiment of the Boys’ Brigade triumphed over the other side and its Second Regiment yesterday afternoon in & closely contested 'football match at Central Park. The Alameda iteam sporting the blue and gold early secured a touchdown, and converted it into a goal. Aiter the second kickoff, however, the home team suddenly altered its tactics of close-in plays, and with a sensational dash Bishop circled the left end, veered further and further out, avoiding several desperate attempts to tackle him, and finally fell over the line carrying his tackler with him, and scor- ing a touchdown after & brilliant run of thirty vards. Bacon failed to kick the goal, and from then until late in the second half the Alameda team held its lead of two points. The winning score came like the memor- able intercollegiate blocked kick of '94, when Fiedert stopped a punt for Stanford and Cochrane pursued the rebound over the line and gave the game to the wearers of the red. Alameda, after stopping several dangerous advances near her 15-yard. line, got the ball and Dinsmore immediately tried to punt. Specht broke through the line like a rocket and Duden was the successful man in the general scramble back of the goalposts. Bacon kicked the goal and red and gold was four points in the lead. - > Little time remained. Alameda kicked off and set a lively pace, while the Second Regiment band ‘poured out Sousa: with the frantic effort of a desperate hope. Hanmilton caught and returned the kick, sending the ball well into Alameda terri- tory, where Louis Ward, in'two telling dashes in succession, caused Alameda to long for justa few more seconds. But a fumble gave the ball to the local team; the band blared and wheezed down to a full stop, and in a moment or two the whistle blew, and the youthful guards that had patrolled the side lines 1n military dignity trailed their guns in their eager rush to join_the hilarious crowd that surged to- ward the dressing-rooms. Davidson, Duden and Bisbop of the San Francisco eleven are members of the cham- pion Y. M. C.

Sacrifice of Honor, Morals and Home Happiness for Social Duties. . NEW YORK, March 2, 1896.—In the description given of the tragic death of a well-known man, who had gone away from h#& home because he was ill, there occurs this line—which may be true or un- true—*His wife would have been with him but her social duties prevented her.” Her social duties! What is the world coming to? Are the social duties of a woman to rise superior to her duty and devotion to her husband? Shall your social duties, or my social duties, make us the less loving, the less quick to recognize that which is really right, or that which a woman should do? Of how much worth is society when put in the bal- ance against true love? There fell on the newspaper as I read this a little yalentine sent me by a chila lover, and below the flaming heart and the smil- ing Cupid were the words, *'Tis love that makes the world go round.” Isit? Oris it one's social duties? Did the wonderful women of the past who gave their hives, not by merely dying, but by living from dav to day in such a way that life was daily death—did these women consider their social duties as most important or did they believe that it was love that made the world go round? Think of all the great women in history, think of all the women of tradition, think of all the women of Biblical lore, and be sure it was love of God or man that ruled them and not their social duties. Do you suppose Shat when Ruth cleng to her mother-in-law, claiming that “Thy | people shall be my people, thy God my | | | | 4 | and its rules? Think it all over. | Gos,” it was because she thought ita so- cial duty; or was it a reflection of the love she bore her busband, of the duty she felt she owed him, and which made her help the woman who bore his name and needed her help? The comic papers and the vul- gar people laughand jest about mothers- in-law—it always seems to me a dreadful thing. A woman wins the love of your son—the pride of your - heart—the chiia that has been cared for by you through long illnesses, possibly nursed back by you when close to death, and to whom you taught everything that was beautiful and noble. Because of this new love, shall he love you any the less? And shall not the woman to whon. he has given the strongest love of his life, who feels honored by bear- ing his name, shall not this woman give to you who bore him, cared so much for him, a great love,-an enduring love, a love not governed by the law, but by the heart Haven’t you known mothers-in-law who were veri- table refuges in distress? I sometimes wonder if a woman ever thinks of her son when she is disagreeable to the mother of her husband. world the law of compensation holds 00d, and as you treat the mother of your fimbnnd 80 _your danughter-in-law will treat. you. If you find that your social duties are too great to allow you to con- sider the woman who is the mother of your husband you can look into the future and you will see that to you will come just such treatment from the one who wins'the heart of ihat son who, to-day, is nothing but a baby boy. Idespise these so-called mother-in-1aw jokes, and I cannot imagine how a woman with either heart or brain can sniile at them. _But that wasn’t the text of my sermon, for I am moved to sermonize a bit to-day. Suppose the social duties of the two Marys had kept them from arising early that morning, would they have met tne angel at the tomb? " Suppose his social duties had kept Christ so busy that he could pay no aitention to the poor and the blind, and the sick of ‘body and the sick of soul, what would bave happened then? My friend, did you ever try to think out what your social duties were? Plainly put, they are simply what you owe to the society in which you live. But sometimes I think they go further than that, and the society in which we really live is that in which lgve reigns, and no other tociety can demand a duty from uns. Women are wonderfully true to the demands of the heart, but sometimes there comes a curious, a mean ambition. It is to be at the bead of & gossiping, frittering silly set who are friends, dear friends, in prosperity, and who are indifferent when gorrow comes unless that sorrow is draped in the most expensive crape and lived down according to the rules of etiquette, to burst out at the proper time in a great gladness and in overwhelming merriment. This society, 1t is true, is made of men and women, men and women with hearts, but hearts so well covered with secial draperies that except in a physical way they scarcely know how to beat. Idon’t know whether it is for gooa or foriil that in the social world youand I and our neighbor wear the conventional mask—we teach ourselves to smile when our hearts ache; we teach ourselves to overlook neglect when we are in trouble, because it is wise to be on good terms with the social rulers; we throw ourselves down before the social car of Juggernaut and are rolled over, crushed, woulnd(:d, hurt, and we rise up with a smile. But always somebody is misjudged by" society. Yesterday it wasa woman, who, throwing back the great crape veil that society had ordered her to wear, claimed her right to God Almighty’s sunshine and to hope. The day before it was a woman seen coming out of a pawnshop. The looker-on told the story, and society made up its mind that she had pawned her jew- els to pay her dressmaker’s bill, whereas in truth they had been put there to get the money to bury the dead. The day before that it was a girl—society criticized her be- cause it said she affected religion—she knelt so many hours in church—and the truth was that the church was warm, and ber tiny room in the fashionabie boarding- house was cold and cheerless. And she had not the courage to go where life was simpler and more comfortable because she feared society and because she believed she must live up to her social duties. Another day. It is a man, and somebody laughs because he always seems so hun- gry at dinner or at supper—he will not work, and the pittance that comes to him monthly barely pays for his fashionable clothes and 8 room in a well-known apartment house. Do you wonder that he is hungry? And he isn’t just one; there are hundreds like him. And there is another. No word is too vile for what he is now, and yet there was a day when he was truthful, honorableand a gentleman. But he felt the demands of society. He thought his social duties of most importance, and not having mone; enough to live as he wished he mnnng to get, nobody knows how, letters that compromised first this woman, then that woman, and then another woman, so al- ways there was somebody to pay him to keep from making those letters public. And he is a prominent guest at smart dinners, and he is a favorite on yachting parties, and he is spoken of as being ‘‘so liked by all the women.”” Nobody thinks to say, So feared. And yetit wasbecause he felt he must pay what he owed to society by appearing well dressed .and living like alily of the field that, from being a gen- tleman by birth and education, he became & blackguard. _And there 18 another—a woman—bright, piquante, perhaps . bit sarcastio; but -| to decline an invitation because a proper My _friend, even in tbis | then men laugh and say that probably she would have softened if she had married: and the man who takes her out to dinner doesn't dream that her beautiful fan is id for by a scurrilous story written mlnst her hostess; that her gown was presented to her by a woman to whom she wrote this note: “My Dear Doily: I have just heard the story of your visit to Nice. }t is _most interesting. I am sure you would hate to bave it get into print. Would you kindly let me have, liy bearer, a couple of hundred dollars? I will pay you when my rents come in next month. Lovingly yours, ‘Margie.” A threat? Oh, no. But the woman who got that note could read between the lines, and she knew, unless she sent that $200, that the story of her escapade, which was not really bad, only compromising, would be publisned in a so-called societvy paper, so slightly disguised that everybody would recognize the hercine. How do women reach this depth? From an overweening desire to pay proper atteution to their social duties, To such women it is hard gown is not possessed, because new gloves cannot got, or because the money for a cab is not at hand, and they stain their characters and blacken their souls, and think they are no worse than anybody else because they never err from a social standpoint. There is another woman, a beautiful woman, a woman fond of society, but one who has vowed to love and honor a man wiho has become an invalia. She shinks her duty is done when she knows that he has good doctors and good nurses; she goes in to show him how she looks before she starts to the dance, or whatever it may be, and she drops a kiss lightly on his forehead and says, “Good-night; you will be in bed before I am back’’ And away she goes. Society gives her the right to do this; society counts her as among its decorations, and de- mands her. But what about the man ill and lonely at home? What are trained nurses to him? It is true they may know how to attend to his physical wants better than the wife he lovx, %nt be sure that he longs for her presence; he longs for her womanly words, and he longs for what he has a right to emand—the presence of his wife. Women need not speak oract to tell of a loving devotion, when there are nurses and doctors. It is the being there only that is wanted; it is the knowledge that to somebody this sick man is more than all the world, and thathe comes be- fore the duties of society. And the littie valentine says, *“This love that makes the world go round.” And it | means not just to-day, but yesterday, to- day and forever. It means that tinest of all Joves—the love which forgets self and | which is worth—well, it is worth all that there is in the world to come. | do not mean by this the love which | finds its best expression in continual caresses, in continual words of love. but I can the love that works always in one - way or the other, the love that denies |}, itself something” for dear love’s sake, the love that can endure and keep quiet. I have never been much of a believer.in the love that told of itself continually in | words. But there are those who think | this love the finest. Think of a woman | who knew that death was only a matter of | & few months, vei who during that time | made herself lovely in appearance, charm- | ing in manner, and never once let the man she loved know that that most dreadful of all things, a cancer, was eating away her | life. She died looking pretty. Those ! months when she suffered bad been months not of life, but of aeath, but at the | last she could say again “I love you,” | and she knew that during that " time | she had created a strong love that would make all the world better for her purpose. It does, my friend, it does. There can be no ereat love without this | world gaining from it. The man who | loves a woman well will respect and be gentle with all other.women for her sake. The man who loves a woman who has shown to him how beautiful is an unself- ish love, how beautiful it is to think of others first, to care for others most, and to remember those who suffer, has preached a sermon in her life greater than any that ever came from the pulpit. Men, asa | general thing, are not prone to speak of their loves—when they are great—but they are influenced by them, and he who 18 bard of heart will'suddenly one day find himself growing tender for a woman’s sake. He who is stern in judgment will discover mercy because he has loved well, and he who saw nothing but that which was dark and gloomy will grow hopeful because a woman bids him to, and believe in a future since she earnestly asks him to, because there their love will be con- summated in the finest way. And always when I say that there comes back to me the one line in a play, “If there were more women whose hearts were full of sentiment, there would be fewer un- happy men.'”” All the great and noble actions in this worid have been prompted by seniiment. Men who have loved women, men who have been patriots, have all been men of sentiment. You cannot cite a hero wio did not love a woman, and there is not one in the history of the world in whose lifs this woman love was not the best and tenderest part. Itseems to me that what we women of to-day reed to learn is not our social duties (those of us who are not acquainted with them may learn them from books of etiquetie) but to love well—that means to make better men of our sens and of our husbands; to | make all life better. Do you remember what a great woman writer said, 8 woman not like that petty new woman of to-day, but a woman great of heart, great of brain and overflowing with love toward herown, toward all the world and toward God ? The world waits For help. Beloved, let us love 5o well, Our work shall still be better for our love, And still our love be sweeter for our work, ‘And both, commended, for the sake of each, By all true workers and true lovers, born. Isn’t that the ideal love? And the man standing beside her said, seeing their love in the world to come, framed by that wondrous wall that had Jasper first, ‘And second, sapphire; third, chalcedony ; ‘The rest in order—last an amethyst. And so it stands forever; the perfect love of the man and the woman—unselfish, beautiful, greater than all the social duties that may arise it is writ upon an amethyst, the sacred stone which means God’s love and man’s love in union. A preacher? *’Tis love that makes the world go round,’” and in its whirl are drawn all human be- ings. It reaches out and makes sweeter the heart of humanity, and to form that heart—that great, kindly, unselfish loving heart—is needed you and your neighbor, Ba and— It’s the talk of all the clubs —the wonderful suc- cess of the “MAN- TELL” cigar. 10 cents—2 for 25 cents—3 for 25 Gents.
