Miss Vesta Shortridge is back in town and is taxing the wits of two leading modistes, who are vying with each other in making beautiful gowns for her trous. smgu. The second week in October is set “%or Miss Shortridge’'s marriage to Emile Bruguiere. bicp The wedding of Miss Maud Cluft and George Downey at the Palace maple room in November will be quite a large affair. Miss C. M. Colfelt salled away on the Korea Thursday for Japan, where she will marry Lieutenant E. Taylor, U. 8. A. This romance is one of particular in- terest, as Miss Colfeit has refused a Eu- ropean title for a poor lieutenant. R A military wedding of special interest to take place in September is that of Miss Elizabeth Young, Gaughter of Lieu- tenant General Young, and Lieutenant John R. Hanney, adjutant of the Second Battalion of the Seventy-second Infantry. The lieutenant’s regiment has been sta- tioned at Fort Crook, but has been or- dered to the Philippines, which accounts for the wedding taking place at so early a date. (T N Mrs, Henry L. Roosevelt, who was for- merly Miss Eleanor Morrow, returned to the Philippines on the Thomas with many pleasant memories of her visit 1o her ©old home. Mrs, W. H. Morrow gave a delightfully informal tea complimentary to her sister-in-law prior to her de- parture. Mrs. Roosevelt will probably return to the coast with her husband, Lieutenant Rootevelt, next spring, when he is as- signed to another post, Lieutenant Rooseveit is & nephew of the President, * &P Mrs, J. A. Cooper and Miss Ethel Coop- = — W <l < /2 . Mr. Rodolph has not adopted a stage career, owing to the objections of his mother, but spent his vacation in this way and has now resumed the study of den- tistry. S Mrs. Jack Johnston, nee Lande Los Angeles s visiting her mother, W. J, Landers, at her summer home across the bay. R Mrs. Willlam D. O'Kane has sold her house on Broadway. § o v Miss Lila Fairchild has returned to her home in Los Angeles after a visit of six weeks in San Francisco. .« s 1 The debutantes will not have everything their own way at La Jeunesse dances this year, as assemblies will take the place of the cotillons of previous winters, This will increase the informality of these affairs and bring more of the young mar- —— Yied set into the club, rivaling, perhaps, the assemblies of the old Friday Night Club in charge of Mr. Greenway. The list of patronesses 1Is slightly changed. Mrs, W. H. Mills has with- drawn her name this year and Mrs. Bow- man McCalla and Mrs. Willam G. Irwin are added to the former number. The others are: Mrs, Timothy Hopkins, Mrs. Alfred Hunter Voorhies, Mrs. Willlam Holmes McKittrick, Mrs. A, W. Foster, Mrs, H. E. Huntington, Mrs. J. W. Me: Clung, Mrs, J. D. Spreckels. ¢« & 8 and C. E. Greenfield Miss Elsa Cook - E er have returned to their home on Pacific avenue and will probably extend consid- erabie hospitality to their friends during the coming season. During the summer while at Lake Tahoe, Miss Cooper was one of the most universally popular young women at the tavern. Judge Cooper and his son, Oscar Coop- er, are spending their vacation on a hunt- ing trip through Oregon. 8T % 0y Mr, and Mrs. George W. Whitaker will keep their apartments at Van Ness ave- nue and Vallejo street during the coming season. Mrs. Whitaker, a recent bride, is a niece of Mrs. George Carr, whom she visited two seasons ago when studying at the Hopkins Art Institute. Mrs. Whit- aker is particular fond of black and white work. i il Miss Helen de Young, Miss Adah How- ell and Charles de Young formed a pleas- ant little party at the Channing entertain- ment. Miss De Young was attractive in white and Miss Howell wore a pretty gown of champagne color with tulle bows at the neck. This debutante of last win- ter became almost as noted for her tulle bows as for her popularity with the other sort. At every party Miss Howell looked like a fairy with tulle bows in her hair and about her neck. In fact the tulle was arranged with such profusion as strongly to suggest wings. v '3 Ly The attentions of Ed Tobin to Miss De Young ere extremely interesting to their friends, who will be only too happy to send engagement cups if the proper time comes to do so. They even hint that Mr. Tobin meets with more approval than the other suitors. I don't know why he shouldn't, for Mrs. Tobin is an excellent mother and has devoted her life to her children, bringing out character and mak- ing the most of their talents. Then, too, both the De Youngs and Tobins are de- vout Catholics. However, Miss de Young has only been out one season and is likely to be whisked away thousands of miles for more social successes, and such a departure might cloud Cupid's horizon considerably. » A Miss Bertie Bruce's wedding has been indefinitely postponed, owing to the ill- ness of her mother. The postponement must be a grave disappointment to the young people, as their new home is com- pleted and waiting for them. TR R Dr. and Mrs, James A. Black were among those who witnessed the perform- ance of “Everyman” at Lyric Hall on Wednesday evening. The Blacks have purchased a home in Alameda, where, with their little sons, they have been spending the summer very quietly. Major M. T. Partello has been ordered to Fort Niobrara, near Omaha, Nebraska, and will soon proceed to his new post, accompanied by his wife and daughter, Miss Florence Partello. This news brings disappointment to their many friends here, for although the Partellos came to the Presidio but re. cently they have become very popular. Miss Partello will return to San Francisco during the winter to visit Miss Madden and Miss Anderson. Dwight Partello Jr., a nephew of the major, will leave for Omaha within a few days, having completed his business in San Francisco. Mr, Partello is a son of Dwight Partello, an American Consul in Germany. Mrs. H. T. Lally was hostess at an in- formal luncheon at her home on Pacific avenue on Thursday, complimentary to Mrs. J. E. Reynolds of San Mateo. The table was prettlly decorated with pink sweet peas. K Among those present were: EX | Mrs. John L W. Hoyt, Mrs. L. H, Bryan, Mrs. E. G. Rodolph, Mrs, George Weir and Mrs. gene Bresse. 5w it Presidio hops have been resumed with more intérest than usual and the club will be the scene of delightful affairs on Tues- day evenirigs for the remainder of the year, P Mrs. Pfingst, who was formerly Flor- ence Porter, will entertain a jolly house party at her home, near Watsonville, from Tuesday to Friday of this week. A bullshead breakfast is among the unique affairs planned for entertainment. S5 k5 e Frank Rodolph has returned from a trip on the Orpheum circuit, where he enter- tained audiences with his clever songs. 3 have not set a day for their wedding and do not expect to be married before next year. Miss Cook is the charming daugh- ter of Mrs. A. W. Cook and Mr. Green- field is a popular young business man. The engagement was announced at the Landers-Johnston wedding, at which Miss Cook was bridesmaid, and was the cul- mination of a pretty romance which be- gan when Mr. Greenfield and his bride- to-be sang together at the doll show in the Florodora sextet. Shiiie e Mrs. Dutton and Misses Mollte and Ger- trude Dutton have taken the Kimball house on Broadway for six months. Mrs. Dutton has invited Mr. and Mrs. Harry Macfarlane, formerly Miss Polly Dunne, to be her guests for the winter. Mr. Mac- farlane has business interests in Honolulu and it is not yet known whether he will be able to get away. P The officers on board the French man- of-war Protet are being considerably entertained during their stay in our har- bor. Mrs. Homer [King gave them a tea this week. Unfortunately some of them cannot speak English, but bravely go to teas where a few of the girls struggle with their verbs and others stick to plain English, regardless. One young woman conversed ' with one of the Protet of- ficers for some time at a recent tea, all the while sticking to her English while he knew only French, yet he must have understood her animated face, for he seemed highly entertained. One girl insisted that she owed him no apology for knowing so little French, as a navy officer had more time than anything else and should learn his English p’'s and @'s. e s Dr. and Mrs. Russell H. Cool entertain- ed the Princess Teku of Tahit{ and Mr. and Mrs. Atwater last’ week at their country home at Los Gatos. As these guests entertained Mrs. Cool during her visit at Tahiti last year, she avalled her- self of this opportunity to return their hospitality. Mrs. Atwater is an aunt of the Princess. « s s W. H. Mills and family have taken apartments at the Cecll for the winter months, having rented their Jackson street home to the Allens of Ross Valley. e ) “Dr. George B. Story, who has been spending the past two weeks in San Fran- cisco and vicinity, will return to his home in Portland, Oregon, the latter part ot this week. 308 Cards recelved in San Francisco from Baron and Baroness von Wrede announc- ing the marriage of their daughter, Miss Kuhne Beveridge, to Willlam B. Bran- son on August 2 at Trouville are being discussed with interest, as the family has many warm friends here. The Bar- oness was formerly Mrs. Philo Beveridge of Springfield, Ill. After becoming a widow she met and married the Baron and during their stay in San Francisco, when in need of money, she bravely started two or three enterprises in order to Help her husband make a living. The Baron was temporarily night clerk at the Baldwin Hotel. The Baroness’ daughter, the present bride, as Miss Kuhne Beveridge, estab- lished herself as the wife of Charles Coghlan, the.actor, but annulled her mar- riage upon the appearance of the actor’s first wife. Miss Beveridge enjoys a world wide reputation as a sculptor and had her first studio in 8an Francisco, but af- terward proceeded to London. Her first busts were of Uncle George Bromley and Willlam Greer Harrison. Mrs. Branson will now reside at Johannesburg, South Africa, where her husband has import- ant business interests, being a millionaire mine owner. e S Mrs. Herman Oelrichs is entertaining and long drooping sleeves, gathered into a narrow cuff at the wris SCa e Mrs. Potter Palmer and her sons, Hon- ore and Potter Palmer, are at the Carl- ton Hotel, London. The young men ex- pect to refurn to America shortly, but Mrs. Palmer will remain abroad until the late autumn. Since their arrival in Eng- land “the Palmer boys” have taken sev- eral motor trips about the country and on one journey up the river were accompani- ed by their mother looking very hand- some in her widow's weeds, with just a touch of white at her throat and wrists. Mrs. Palmer is not “going out” at all, but she is seeing a great many people in a quiet way. Among the many are Mrs. Mackay, Mrs. Ronalds and Mrs. Chet- fleld-Taylor. It is said that Mrs. Palmer will -be in Homburg soon. Several im- portant Chicago people are thers now, among others Mr. Marshall Fleld, who left England immediately after seeing his daughter, Mfu. Tree, in Leamington. . . Miss Leila Paget, the beautiful daugh- ter of the beautiful Mrs. Arthur Paget, is in a state of health distressing t5 all her relations and friends. Her parents — Helen Ware to support Robert Edeson in “Seoldiers of Fortune” that will be seen here this season. Miss Ware first received prominence through her success- ful assumption of the role of Cigarette in “Under Two Flags” during the sudden {llness of Miss Blanche Bates. & . Charles Frohman has decided to have John Drew open two of his remodeled New York theaters. As the New Empire will not be ready until October, it has been arranged to have Drew inaugurate Frohman's management of the - Herald Square Theater, opening thers on Sep- tember 15 In “Captain Dieppe.” After playing at this house for four weeks, Drew will move to the Empire and open that theater. Miss Margaret Dale will be Drew’s leading woman. e e Charles Frohman will produce at the Columbla Theater, Washington, on Sep- tember 21, a play by E. H. Sothern, en- titled, “The Light that Lies in Woman's Eyes,” in which Virginia Harned is to be starred. The play will be given for one week, after which Miss Harned will begin her regular season in “Iris,” tour- = — s (L IPEL— ; ooz, considerably this summer at Newport. On Thursday she gave a dinner to 200 guests, who afterward attended the com- ing out dance which Baroness, Seilliere gave for her daughter, Miss Constance Livermore. The previous week Mrs. Oel- richs gave a dinner party on the Casino grillroom piazza. sial e Now that “sacred concerts” with their al fresco dinners on the Casino plazza at Newport are so popular, Louls Bruguiere entertained a party of forty in this way the same Sunday evening that Mrs. Oel- richs gave a dinner there. WA The Duchess of Marlborough bids fair to become a leader of fashion. She had little prestige as a dresser when she first came to England, but she is evidently studying the question scientifically and with a view to setting the vogue. She has just had sent home from a fashionable English shop an evening gown made with one of those high-cut belts, giving the short-waisted appearance so much seen a few years ago. This evening gown is a very beautiful sequin affair. It has a quaint effect, what with the high belt —_—ee are sending her to Newport with her companion and maid in attendance in the hope that the sea voyage and Newporf's bracing air will promote recovery. Miss Paget has not been well since her winter visit to her brother, who was stationed at Cairo and for whom Miss Paget kept house several months. It Was not known how 1ill she was, however, until a few nights ago when she was not able even to descend to her mother's drawing- room on the occasion of an evening party Mrs. Paget could not postpone. - Miss Gladys Unger, the San Francisco girl whose play “Sheridan” was recently purchased by Danfel Frohman for Ameri- ca and by Arthur Bourchier for England, has this week been commissioned to write two more plays for prominent English managers. Miss Unger has put aside all other work for the present and gone to Tunbridge Wells, the fashionable water- ing place, where she can write on the two plays without interruption, B As Told on the Rialto. Henry B. Harris has engaged Miss ing west and as far as the coast. The rehearsals will be conducted by Sothern, who will postpone his own season’s open- ing so that he can be present at the first night's performance of the play in Wash. ington. Arthur Donaldson, the gallant Prince in “The Prince of Pilsen,” shortly to be seen here, was born in Norway. He re- ceived his early training under Ibsen and acted In nearly all of the Ibsen dramas, but it became so hard to pronounce the names of the characters after a while that he fled to this country and went in for musical plays. e One year after young Edwin Grasse, the American violinist who makes his first concert tour in this country this season, was admitted to thg Royal Conler\.‘wr); in Brussels, he won the first prize with distinction, and In 191, the “Prix de Capacite” was awarded him with the highest honors. Young Grasse was a %4 special student with Cesar S. Thomson and he is a protege of the great Joachim upon whose advice he began his concert career in Berlin last year wis o a2 th instant i
