These won- drously fine pearls are strung with one that is off color to simulate some genuine strings which sometimes have this de- fect. This trick has become quite a fad among purchasers who express a pref- erence for necklaces with an off-color pearl. River pearl sleeve links, one pair of pearls to each link, have become one of the fancies in vogue. Pearl horseshoes are favorites in many sizes, the large ones for brooches and for belt pins, small- er ones for collar band back fasteners as well as for short hair brooch clasps. Pearl hat pins are the prettiest to wear on flat white tulle hats or on black ones. o vaim The death of Miss Erna Schmidt from typhold fever last week came as a great shock to her friends in soclety. She was the latest debutante of the winter season and was presented at a dance given by her parents, the A. H. R. Schmidts, at Cotillon Hall. She was admired and loved from the first in her own set. Mr. Schmidt is cashier of the German Sav- ings Bank in this city and belongs to one of the old German families. I have just read an expianation of Cap- tain Taylor's title, which will satisfy those who have been sufficiently interest- ed to ask questions on previous occasions, for this family is much in the public eye. After referring to the marriage of Car- rie Taylor and George Newhall, an East- ern publication has this to say: “The bride’'s father, Captain Willlam Taylor, or Captain ‘Bill,’ as he was fa- arly called in early days when asso- ciated with the California Steam Naviga- tion Company, is a ‘forty-niner’ and one of the type fast passing away. Much mer- ment has been indulged by those who w the history of the captain’s title, he gs most tenaciously, wing it to be forgotten for a nt. The query being frequently e by officers whether it is a military ction, the captain is forced it it is nautical, but on the fact that it was ac- as a young man, he was a a Mississippi steamboat, a fact likes to forget.

As all Captain and Mrs. Taylor's children have made such fortunate marriages they, pere ¢t mere, have been given the title of “general” in the San Francisco matrimonial field. The Taylor boys mar- ried the wealthy Hopkins sisters. . . . Princess Frana Hatzfeldt, adopted daughter of the late C. P. Huntington, and Mrs. Frederick Bell were among the American women who had houses in the Windsor neighborhood for the Ascot zaces. Princess Hatzfeldt 1s having things very much her own way in Lon- don sogciety, where she is entertaining such royal and distinguished guests that there is no question about her having “arrived.” She recently gave a dinner to the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, followed by an elaborate musicale with Mile. Jeannie Granier, Madame Doria, M. Plancon and Herr Kreisler. Among the guests were Prince Francis of ‘Weck, the Duke and Duchess of Somerset, the Duchess of Roxburghe, the Marquis and Marquise of Dufferin, the Marchioness of Granby, Sir Bache and Lady Cunard, Mr. and Mrs. Perry Belmont, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Drexel and the United States Minister to Belgium. .« s e Mrs. Harry Roosevelt (nee Morrow) is looking extremely well since her return s from Manila. Her husband, Lieutenant Roosevelt, is a cousin of the President, Which may add a little to the popularity which is rightfully hers. R Mrs. Lawrence Poole, a cousin of the lieutenant, gave a pretty luncheon on Wednesday in honor of Mrs. Roosevelt. The decorations were scarlet poppies and ferns. A dozen guests were charmingly entertained by Mrs. Poole and the guest of honor was warmly welcomed home again. o g e The wedding of Miss Bessie Swift of Chicago and Charles A. Fernald of Santa Barbara, which took place last Tuesday at the residence of the Louis B. Swifts near Chicago, was an elaborate affair. The important nuptials were preceded by e extensive entertaining for the bride-elect, the largest function being a dinner dance, which Miss Fitzgerald gave for the brida! party at the Midlothian Club. The guests arrived on Saturday and remained over Sunday, a new departure out West in the entertaining of bridal parties. There is quite a merry colony of San Franciscans at Monterey and vicinity just now. Freddie Greenwood is holding forth in Charles Roolo Peters’ cottage and mak- ing his friends as happy as so genial a host knows how to do. Miss hel Hager is comfortably settled in a cottage. Miss Pearl Landers has been spending some time there and Miss Flood and Sallie Maynard are in that vicinity. Other interesting people there are Mr. and Mrs. J.

ORaT The " friends of Mrs. Charles Contolt Hibbard will be sorry to learn of her re- cent bereavement in the death of her hus- band. Mrs. Hibbard lives in New York. but paid a visit to San Francisco last summer and made many warm friends. She is a striking brunette, with bright and vivacious manner, good figure and handsome gowns. She is particularly fond of pearls and has a fine collection of them. Miss Gertrude and Miss Helen Sullivan, daughters of Judge Sullivan, are at pres- ent at Highland Springs, where they will spend a few weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Suilivan (nee Ivancovich) are at the resi- dence of the bride’s mother on Van Ness avenue. 4 .. A new bride who will come to live in San Francisco will be Mrs. Guy M. Bar- hum. She is now Miss Marie Boby and EX e will soon marry Mr. Barhum at her coun- try home in Windsor, across the Cana- dian border. The ceremon will take place in the house built by a member of the family more than 100 years ago. This been remodeled mond F.
