THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1902 'WEARY OF SHOPPING, SOCIETY PREPARES FOR THE NEW YEAR Gifts From Unexpected Sources Demand Suitable Recognition and Day of Rest Is Not Yet Here.

And never have more girls told me the unexpected out- come of their Christmas. Presents they felt certain of receiving but others came from the most unthought-of directions. Hence more haste at the ecleventh hour to pre- pare for the New Year. I am sorry, too, for shopping is hard work. Some one has not unwittingly said “Christmas is a time we spend money we cannot afford for presents that no- body wants.” One might add that we sometimes send duty presents to people We care little for, thus sacrificing the Happily, however, ances are offset by a majority loving thoughts. At any , it is difficult to know what to get. we arrive at the shops we may have flattered ourselves that we pos- sed fair judgment and had some de- cisive ability, but now the array in the stores conhfuses and bewilders us. The things that might seem to us most prac- ticable may offend the recipient; -there- fore, many a useless novelty is inflicted. Recently there was displayed in a jewel- er's window such things as tiny gold enameled chairs and sofas two inches If these should prove as unwel- the effusive salesman, we would wish we had taken the desperate chances of send- ing a box of soap instead.

Our friends are worth good deal of trouble. PO There was a pretty little wedding at the residence of ‘Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Robinson last Tuesday at 4 o’clock of which society is not yet fully aware. The engagement Miss Ida Rgbinson and Frederick olleton Innes was well known among their friends, but their marriage was not expected until January. The bride did noc like the idea of a large wedding at any time, and she had her own way in this irstance, being married very quietly. In fact, the only intimate friends aside from . relatives were Miss.May Palmer, Miss Bell, Miss Thompson and Mr. Bennett, . British Consul General. Rev. Dr. Worcester of the Swedenborgen church officiated. The bride was married in her traveling gown, as the happy pair left almost immediately for Santa Barbara. Mr. and Mrs. Innes will reside in this city, where the groom has mining inter- ests. The good wishes of their many friends attend them. P The number of fancy dress balls this season will put falr women on the rack for new ideas. Almost any one can bor- row or rent a historical costume, but it is quite another thing to find anything really characteristic, and one cannot be too particular about good lines and a color scheme in this day of artistic ef- fects. At the colonial ball a few days ago Mrs.. Howard Taylor, a beautiful young matron, could not have been more becom- ingly attired. She wore a handsome black velvet decoilete gown and a large black hat with plumes. Her hair was powdered and arranged pompadour, with little curls on one shoulder. Mrs. Taylor's beauty is well known, especially in Modesto, where her .girlhood was spent, she heing the daughter of a prominent banker. there, Mrs win Pyng Porter represented a colonial girl of quite an opposite type, and ‘was prettier .than any picture in a dainty white satin wedding gown (an heirloom), with a fichu of white chiffon draped over her dimpled shoulders. Her hair .was powdered and arranged low, with two little curls. The costume was completed by a black picture hat. E. H. Lestock Gregory made a sensa- tion in his flaming red Mephistopheles suit, and his young wife was a pretty and dashing Carmen. Her skirt was of black satin, worn with a yellow waist and sash, with red roses on the corsage and twined in her black hair. Mrs. W. Eaton and Miss Mabel Miller of Alameda were French dolls and did not appear a day over 10. They were e s e BURGLAR CAUGHT WHILE IN HIDING Policeman “Con” Cregan Captures a Daring Crook. William Hogan, an old-time offender, who has just finished ‘“doing” seven vears in San Quentin for picking a pock- et, was caught last night by Police Offi- cer “Con” Cregan in the act of attempt- ing to break into a house at 1207 Hyde treet owned by Gustave Niebaum, pres- | ident of the Alaska Commercial Com- pany. His pal, who was with him, made his escape. Officer Cregan, who was coming down Hyde street, between Clay and Sacra- mento, about 8:30 o’clock, heard a crash of breaking glass and at the same instant saw a man leap over the iron fence in- closing the yard of No. 1207, run to Clay street and board a car which happened to be passing. The Clay-street cars, turn from Clay into Larkin and run one block south to reach Sacramento, out which street they 8o. - Cregan, thinking to head off his man, started back up Hyde street, meaning to 80 down Sacramento and intercept the car at the corner of Larkin and Sacra- | : | YOUNG MATRONS WHOSE i FANCY DRESS COSTUMES ATTRACTED ADMIRATION. o gowned alike in white mousseline and fluffy white bonnets. = They wore their hair down their backs with dainty rib- bens, and their little white slippers an Inglish socks occasioned no end of smiles. 1t does one good to see a costume per- fectly carried out. One does not wear fancy dress every day, and accessories in keeping are often overlooked. o ke The Misses Joan and Wanda Haden- feldt always entertain charmingly, and it is a pleasure to know that they will throw open their drawing-rooms on New Year’s day to more than 200 callers. Music will make merry the reception hours— 4 until 9. A large party will assist in re- ceiving. For the evening twenty guests have been invited to bid good cheer to Mr. Herman Hadenfeldt, who wilk leave on the following day for Detroit, where he will wed Miss Maud I Blakeman January 14. * LhE s The California Girls' Training Home is coming in again for another bit of well deserved attention.’ This time it is to be a miniature horse show under the lead- ership of Miss Amy Gunn, the proceeds to be devoted to that worthy institution. The date is set for January 20, at the San Francisco Riding Academy. Society girls are going to ride, and that feature alone will .draw, as well as the fancy riding of professionals. . The coveted doll houce which attracted s0 many admirers at the Doctor’s Daugh- ters’ recent bemefit was won by Mr. A. Welch, a prominent pusiness man of this city. It was a miniature: country resi- dence, perfectly equipped throughout. Mr. Welch cxpressed. his pleasure over the bit of godd luck by sending the so- ciety a check for $50. SALLY SHARP. . mento streets. Just as he #tarted out he caught a glimpse of a crouching form be- neath the bay-window or the residence from which the other man had just run. Working quickly, on the old adage that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, Cregan bounded over the iron fence and said to the fellow, who was squeezed into a little space between the steps and bay-window, ‘“What are you doing in there? Come out of it.” The crook made a woebegone face and said the fellow who H:;ai:}ft”ran away had hit him an awful ““Where did he hit you?” asked the of- ficer, “Right over the heart,” answered the man, who was Hogan. Cregan could not see why a blow over the heart, no matter how stiff a joit it was, could have landed a man over an iron fence and into space barely large enough for a dog to crouch it, so he took the would-be burglar to the North End station, where Sergeant Brophy recos- nized him. gan enlisted the services of a citizen who happened by. He had him hold Hogan Wwhile he got over the fence, when Hogan was shoved over after him. Nothing was found on the burglar when searched at the station. Officer Cregan went back to the house and in the space jimmy about two feet long. Later this same jlmmy was taken over to a house at 1114 Washington street, where an un- successful attempt at burglary had been made Saturday night. The jimmy fit ex- actly into the marks on the window sill, strong evidence that Hogan and his pal used it there. The house was unoccupied and con- talned only ‘a little furniture. { | were forced and In getting his man out of the yard Cre- || where Hogan had been hiding found a | BURGLARS LOOT DIOCESAN HOUSE Edifice Adjoining Grace Church Ransacked by Thieves. This Is Their Second Visit, They Having Once Taken a Hot Stove. The diocesan house on California street, | adjoining Grace Church, which contains the offices, of the Bishop and is the gen- ! eral headquarters of the Episcopal church in California,~was entered by burglars on ‘lSaturday night and a thorough search i made for money and valuables. . Entrance | was gained by means of a “‘jimmy”’ applied | to the front door. The office of Arch- . deacon Emery was devastated. Drawers every depository in which valuables might be concealed was i opened and the contents thrown to the floor. A small amount of missionary | money was discovered and appropriated. The office of the Pacific Churchman was | also visited, but beyond a promiscuous mingling of the various drawers and | pigeonholes nothing of value was taken. The office of Bishop Nichols was not dis- turbed. This is the second visitation of burglars | to the dlocesan house. The first time the burglar covered himself with distinction by, taking a hot stove. The last job 1s supposed to have been done by expe- rienced hands. The raid is supposed to have been prompted by the supposition that the large offerings of Christmas day, of which the Bishop is custodian, might be in the premises. No person occupies the diocesan house ai night and the burglars were not dis- turbed in their work. The police have 10 clew to the perpetrators. DIES FROM EATING TOO MUCH CANDY AND ALMONDS Three-Year-0ld Girl Pays the Penalty of Overloading Her Stomach. Coroner Leland was notified yesterday morning that Frances Helen Griffin, years of age and living at 1215 Sixteenth avenue, Sunset district, had died shortly aften 7 o'clock in convulsions, and Dr. | McLaren, the attending physician, report- ed that her death was due to ptomaine poisoning. The Coroner called up Dr. McLaren by telephone and learned that the child had been allowed to eat plentifully of candy and almonds during Christmas day and | the following day, and had become sick Saturday morning: Her stomach had | been overloaded, with the usual result. From 1 o'clock yesterday morning till she | died the child had gone from one convul- sion into another. After learning these facts the Coroner did not deem it necessary to bring the body to the Morgue or to, hold an in- quest. In speaking of the matter he sald: “It is not exactly right to say that the child 'died of ptomaine poisoning, but rather that the cause was stuffing her stomach with candy and almonds, leading to indigestion and -from that to convul- sions.

George D. Collins, attorney for Walter N. Dimmick, who is on trial on a charge of robbing the United States Mint, denies | emphatically that he is about to retire as | Dimmick's counsel. A story was pub- lished a few days ago saying that Dim- mick and Collins had some difficulty and that Collins probably would retire from the case. Collins, however, says that there is no truth in the rumor and that he is and will remain Dimmick’s attorney until the case is brought to a close. ————— Trapper’s Ofl cures rheumatismand neuralgia.
