Among Mrs. Truxtun Beale's holcest gifts were some very handsome laces e sile The little Countess of Yarmouth (nee Thaw) has the very best wishes of her American friends, but her movements are followed with considerable apprehension est the unhappiness prophesied for her hould materialize. Since the stories have jeaked out concerning the real cause for delmy at the wedding her friends declare that she was sacrificed for the ambitions of a titled family on the other side of the pond, who are said to lack a keen appreciation of American honor as well a& money. The Earl certainly proved bimself @ good financier; In fact, his hrewdness in such a matter was quite unprecedented in this free country ours. He had his lawyer sail over from London to read the Thaw will and ar- . cruelly e | | - 4 range with the family to make a se mer for any length of time.

A legal controversy about the matfer of a dot might not cause much surprise among Europeans, but it has stirred more than American very deeply. The officiating clergyman showed a remarkable trust in human npature to perform a ceremony in the face of disclosures so palpable. v e e Miss Sarah Drum is as devoted to her automobile as ever and enjoys the dis- tinction of being the first woman in this city to be her own chauffeur. San Fran- cisco, with its steep hills, renders auto- mobiling dangerous for even a man with mechanical genius, and one of the fair sex who successfully controls the ma- chine must keep her head very level and have, presence of mind for any emer- gency. Miss Drum makes a fascinating picture in her plaid silk automobile coat taking her morning spin. As shesis contemplating an extended visit in the. East in the early autumn, Miss Drum will not go away this sum- and her friends have not yet re- hed her, in spite of the lateness » season. Little groups of intimate friends meet constantly at each other's hotises, although there are no formal fun<tions. B 810 Mrs. Cole, Miss Cole and Miss Florence Cole are so comfortably setled in their flz Pierce street that they expect to stay in town all summer. P L] on One hears such nice things about Maye Colburn. Girls may appear charming in a ballroom or be all smiles under favor- able circumstances, but they ‘do not all carry their sweet manners into their ev- v life. Miss Colburn, however, can r do enough for the pleasure of oth- nd gentle consideration, T be- . is the secret of the stanch loyalty of her friends. When the girls are ill is the one who, regardless of the many engagements that engross the time of one in the social whirl, goes oftenest to visit them and brings to them, besides her cheery presence, many little delicacies for their comfort. Miss Colburn will not g0 away from the city this summer, ex- cept for a short trip to Tahoe in July, PE 3 her she Parker Whitney and his bride, who was Miss Daisy Parrott, are ideally happy on their ranch near Rocklin. When they cloped last winter many wondered wheth- er or the marriage would prove a happy one, but the young people believed they knew their own hearts best and they seem to have made no mistake. not Miss Helen Wagner has returned from a visit to the Whitney ranch, where she was delightfully entertained. She is about to visit her sister, Mrs. . Moore, at Menlo for a month, after which she will 80 to Del Monte. Later in the season Miss Wagner may visit Coronado and Catalina. sV et The McCallas will be missed in this city as sincerely as they are welcomed at Mare Island. Misses Mary and Stella McCalla were interested with their charm- ing mother in making the Presidio fete vesterday a marked success. The fam- ily will remove at once to Mare Island, ‘where Captain McCalla has been sta- tioned. Miss Mabel Hogg has been spending the last week in Los Angeles, having accom- panied her parents on the trip. The fam- ily will return to-day, when plans will be made for the packing of summer trunks. Miss Hogg is an excellent whip and since the recent musical ride has held the palm as an expert driver. sX’d e Mrs. Charles Lyman Bent's Sunday aft- ernoon teas at her country home, “Fern- side,” in Alameda, attést her popularity vy calling more of her friends from the city across the bay than go to that side for almost any social function. A num- ber of officers of thg army and navy who were among the guests at her tea last Sunday afternoon speak in cordial praise of the charming informality with which this young matron entertains. Mrs. Bent made so many friénds in town last win- ter and entertained so pleasantly with Mrs. Lansing that her return to the city in the early autumn will be heralded with delight. T Mrs. Arthur Caton of Chicago is spend- ing the summer at her Ottawa home, where she gives many week end house parties. Mr. Caton stays in town. . s . Mrs. Russell Sage has given a beautiful stained glass window to the Home for Priendl Children, in which Miss Helen Gould is interested. Miss Mary Tilling- hast of New York was the artist. . The Duke of Portland has given to Pleasanton, Alameda County, slips from the Robin Hood.oaks of Sherwood Forest. This will give to Pleasanton for all time a fascinating h It does one good to h foreigner who will actually omething to America instead of taking away with him everything that he wants.

Scott, as the daughter, Mrs. Knight, was already in the city. S Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney was the center of interest in the recent parade of the coaching club at New York. She wore a light- gray gown, elaborately shirred. Her coat was of white cloth, three-quarters length, and her hat a white affair, with the brim one mass of small blossoms. Mrs. Whitney's sister- in-law, formerly Miss Helen Hay, was a picture in white cloth, elaborately trimmed with chiffon ana lace. Her hat was also white.
