Mrs. Bowen's son, Dr. Devereux, has just been appoint- ed assistant surgeon at Governors ls- lahd, New York, and Mrs. Bowen will be much entertained at that delightful army post in the near future. The Sam Shortridges are going to keep house in town, giving up thelr apart- ments at the Palace Hotel, where théy ha been living for some time. The baby is nearly two years old now, and ally expects to be monarch of all he surveys, and a good sized house and lot will not give him any too much room. Mr. Shortridge’s “airs” since the advent of the young son baffle description. The story is still repeated at the Palace Ho- tel that when the news cf the baby’s ap- pearance reached the father, he strode on air down to the office and loftlly wrote the hotel register “Samuel M. Short- ridge Jr.” From that time on nothing has been too good for the heir. Miss Lillie Lawler is being delightfully entertaiped in New York, but sails on the 25th for her home in Paris—on the same steamer which carries away Mr: and Mrs. Truxtun Beale (nee Oge) and other well known San Franciscans. Miss Lawler will return to this city next October, when considerable entertaining will be done for her. & risl b Mr. and Mrs. George Vanderbilt seem to be going in for entertaining at their country home, Biltmore, thelr latest house party being a large affair, with Miss Alice Roosevelt as chief guest. Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbllt have rather an Eng- lish manner of doing things and this house party was no exception, having a long programme for each day of drives, visits to the tenants, walks and sight- seeing generally. ) na on Mrs. Peter Martin, who was Lily Oel- richs, has convinced us beyond a doubt that is domestic in her tastes by equipping with her -own hands a little basket with pink trimmings, to hold all the things that babies like. I have heard that it Is a dainty affair and quite complete, even to the wee manicure set. Mrs. Martin is one of the happiest of brides in her cottage at Newport, Mrs. Eleanor Martin is contemplating a visit to her son In the East to be one the first to entertai the expected guest, for whom elaborate preparations are being made. she i s ciety does not see a great deal of Mrs. Ju Kruttschnitt, as she goes only to a few exclusive affairs, devoting almost all of her time to her children. It does one good to know a bright, progressive wom- an who makes companions of her children instead of packing them off to boarding- school to get them out of the way as soon as they are blg enough. The Kruttschnitts will spend the sum- mer very quietly at their country home in Burlingame. Owing to the death of Mr. Kruttschnitt’s mother the family will en- tertain very little. R ot General W. R. Shafter and the 'W. H. McKittricks have returned to the city, after spending the winter at their home near Bakersfield, where they have been entertaining considerably. 8 e Miss Mabel Ayer and half a dozen of her friends were given a box par- ty on Friday evening by Odette Tyler at the Grand, where Miss Tyler played “Desdemona.” Miss Ayer is president of the Alden Club, a branch of the International Sunshine Society, of which the popular star is State president in West Virginia.- She is devoted to phil- anthropic work and carries sunshine with ty that servas the country.

Miss Fritz and her brother have a stage bullt in their home with me- chanical appliances and every facllity for giving plays for their friends to their heart’s content. Mr. Fritz appeared in the presentation of “Our Boys"” last even- ing for the benefit of the California Club’s building fund. “‘Women of Woodcraft. OLDEN Gate Circle, Women of Woodcraft, at its meeting April 17, initiated nine strangers into the mysteries of the order and received sev- eral applications. This circle is drilling its initiatory team as well as' the guards in order to have them lefter perfect as to memorized work and ritualistically per- fect as to the floor work. In the latter there will be introduced several new fea- tures, which will add to the attractiveness of the Initiatory ceremony. The several circles of the Women of Wpoodcraft of East and West Oakland, Tast and West Berkeley, San. Leandro —_— +* and Alameda united with Oakland Circle in celebrating on April 18 the sixth an- niversary of the founding of the order. The affair took place in Woodmen's Hall, Oakland, about 200 nelghbors of Wood- craft being present. Grand Adviser V. A. Derrick presided and welcomed. those who attended, after which there was an en- tertaining programme of musical and lit- erary numbers. Then followed dancing and after the last extra there was a de- lighttul banquet. Spruce Clrcle of Alameda is arranging for its next progressive whist party that 18 to take place May 15. Functions of this character in this circle are looked for- ward to by the members and their friends with pleasure. . Friends of Forest.
