And. in; this he did not except his own countrywomen. “It is their style, their verve, their naturalness, and they are so healthy and buoyant.” This delineation fits the fair young debutante admirably, and, perhaps—well, perhaps, he- may’ come back, even if the Protet doesn’t. oA The Spinners’ Club, composed of young ‘women ‘of the smart set who do things, met at the home of Mfs. W. H. Mills on Jackson street on Monday afternoon. ‘While not courting any public comment upon their progressiveness, it is neverthe- less a fact worthy of note that no girl is eligible unless she is doing something in the world of art, letters or music. Thus is the cdterie limited to twenty-five, composed of girls who seek mental pabu- lum beyond that found dt teas and hops and balls. This gathering of a few kindred spirits bound together by tles of intellectual magnetism is what gave rise to the salons of Paris in the long ago. What a glorious thing it would be for San Francisco, which is rapidly taking its place as a city of culture, to have such centers of intellectual and social lifc as gave Paris its mystical charm in the days of the empire. Who knows but. the clever girls of the Spinners’ Club may outgrow their présent limitations ~and on becoming matrons may establish a nucleus for this form of social life? L M The tea that Mrs. Bowman H. McCalla gave on Friday at Mare Island in honor of her guest, Mrs. Bacon, was an eminent success. Many town people went over and as usual with the affairs given by Mrs, McCalla the afternoon was thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. Bacon, who is the wife of Paymas- ter Bacon, at one time dispensed much hospitality on the islaid, but since the retirement to prviate Lfe of her hus- band and family has lved at Montecito. F s e The hop at Mare Island given jointly by the officers of the Boston, Adams and the ‘Wyoming on the 12th was a delightful affair. About these naval functions there is a freshness and charm that always at- tracts. Perhaps it is the atmosphere of the sea, with its unanalyzed fascination, that assists the gallant officers, or per- haps it's the ‘‘Here to-day and gone to- morrow’ that renders them so irresisti- ble. «ini e A wedding that carried with it a note of originality was solemnized on Thurs- day, when Miss Jessica M. Davis was wedded to Arthur C. Nahl. The cere- mony took place at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew M. Davis, 1722 Pine street, in the 'presence of thirty relatives and mtimate friends. The unique decorations, which were of the tricolors of Mexico—red, green and white—attested to the cleverness of the bride, who, in compliment to her husband and the home he had made for her in the land of the Aztecs, adopted the Mexi- , can colors-in flag and flower. Pottery, so dear to the peon's heart, was placed in advantageous places, the jars filled with feathery fern and ruddy berry; the effect of the arrangement—and the blue sky without gave strength to the illusion— was that of a festivity in sunny Mexico. The date of the wedding, too, manifested the bride's sense of the fitness of things, TYZI5 Z}/V/fi’ BT TOY LUAEEN ST SAOT G e as she fixed the date of her nuptials upon the anniversary of Mexico's birth. The young couple left for a short wedding trip after the - nuptial breakfast was served and will latterly go to Mexico, where Mr. Nahl is extensively interested. That Mrs. Nahl, who possesses a fond- ness for art and literary work, will find a mine of material in the historic old land, there is no doubt. siiaie One of the most bedutiful young ma- trons in San Francisco is Mrs. Pedar Bruguiere, formerly Miss Marion An- drews. Possessed of a Junoesque figure and a style, that reflects her personality, she is indeed one of the most attractive women to be met within this city of stwn- ning women. Since her marriage over a year ago Mrs. Bruguiere has gone out but little, devot- ing most of her time to the management of her charming home. ‘Here are gath- ered many treasures of art in the furnish- ings, as Mr. Bruguiere is a well' known connoisseur of things beautiful. For a week past a young son has been enter- tained at their fireside and the cares of maternity will further engross the atten- tion of the handsome young mother. & a5 . The dinner .that Miss Maye Colburn gave last Sunday night, complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. George Boardman, while comparatively informal, was distinctive in its arrangement and decoration. Some- how Miss Colburn possesses the facuity of infusing into her functions a spirit that makes things go. Perhaps it is her tem- perament—perhaps it is her tact; but whatever ‘the source, she is a charming hostess. Though amid seasons she is go- ing about considerably and was a favored guest at the Tuesday evening hop at the Presidio, when Major William Stevenson of ‘the Medical Corps entertained her and a party including Mr. and” Mrs. Henry Dutton, Miss Mabel Toy and Captain Frederick Johnson at dinner. & -fel e On Wednesday evening Mrs. Carter Pit- ken Pomeroy entertained informally in honor of her: daughter, Miss Christine, who is to be one of the galaxy of buds to be introduced this winter. Dominges oc- cupied the attention of the guests and proved a pleasant. departure from pre- historic and perennial cards. Miss Pome- roy is a charming girl of much poise of manner and bids fair to rank well among the bevy of girls who.are to be brought out when the winter festivities begin. Pl agr Mr. and Mrs. George 8. Carr will enter- tain Mr. and Mrs. I. T. Hagner over Sat- urday and Sunday and on Sunday even- ing will give an informal dinner, at which Captain Fox of the Adams will also be a guest.
