The announce- »ears with it a tinge of sorrow, but but the modest life which ng people are forced to follow in them both a higher con- jon of life and finer understanding of each other. There are no words colned by men hat so adequately convey to the human heart the emptiness of a purely social cereer as the vanishing of one's fortune. And while it is true that de- privation dwarts rather than expands, where there is & competence, without superflulty—end such is the case with the Hobearts—there is the happlest condition. The career of young Hobart—whom the Western world knew as Prince Fortu- natus—was that of a victim of an exces- €ive income &t an irresponsible age. That expiains the whole story. Golng to Har- vard—or was it Yale?—he bore himself like & man of the world with money to burn, and while & good fellow and somse- thing of a student, the influence of his wealth was destructive to the democratic £pirit of college life and it is sald he found It expedient to cut short his career @t the freshman stage. Then came a blare on the horizon of the West—horses, houses and clothes. Buch clothes! Few furnishing houses carried & more exten- sive variety. And then came bis mar- riege to the beautiful end clever Miss Villams. Not at any time & lover of soclety in its gregarious sense, the young wife was deeply absorbed in her domestic life and nurtured her little babes in a way beautiful to see. A girl of bigh ideals, she developed into a woman of highest cheracter. And if disappointment has come—end it is not of the type that bodes i for the future—young Hobart is blest in the possession of & wife who is his solicitous end eympethetic companion at all times. And this is the highest tribute eny pen can pay to woman. T Snobbery, or the ostentatious dlsplay of weelth in colleges, is just now recelv- much attention from the wise men who stand at the helms of our great in- utions. > ey Mrs. Washington Irving Marion was hostess yesterday &t a tea given in honor of her daughter, Edythe Wardweil, at their residence on Bush street. About hundred and fifty invitations had sued, none of the guests, however, & been previously informed of a de- ul surprise held in store for them. rooms were aglow with red blossoms, rongly breathing the sentiment of the Mrs, Marion, in an effective gown of and white, was assisted by Miss d the following ladies: Mrs, Rowley, Mrs. H, C.

During the when busiest hour of the after- the clatter of teacups was engagement of the daughter was announced—amid the h ex- ht and surprise—to Meyerstein of the law firm of t & Meyerstein. Congratulations in- numerable poured in upon the fair flancee, who further stated that the wedding would occur in the near future. Both = gy — YOUNG WOMAN WHOSE MARRIAGE IN HONOLULU RECEN.‘I‘LY-WAE SURROUNDED WITH ALL THE TRA- DITIONAL ELABORATENESS OF HAWAIIAN SOCIAL EVENTS, AND POPULAR SOCIETY GIRL WHOSE ENGAGEMENT TO ROBBERT MEIN OF OAKLAND HAS JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED. the young people are well known and are deservedly favorites. . e The engagement is formally announced of Miss Emma Rutherford, youngest daughter of Mrs. George Crocker, to Philip Kearny of New York, a grand- son of the famous General Kearny, Miss Rutherford is, like her mother, a beautiful woman, and adds to her per- sonal graces many mental charms, hav- ing been educated at the Misses Elys’, the most fashionable school in New York City; this course was supplemented by two years’ study in France and Germany, after which the young lady made her formal debut in Gotham soclety. Mr. Kearny is a popular member oY the New York Stock' Exchange and of the firm of Havemeyer & Kearny. His apartments at Sherry’s are among the most attractive of the many rich bachelor quarters in town, and for many years his turnouts have commanded respectful at- tention on the boulevard. As a whip he has few superiors in New York. The young people will be marrfed in the spring. B Macaulay says, “As the world grows wiser it grows kinder.” That really is made evident to us every day. Of course, you don’t remember when the statute book of this country read, “A man may beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb.” Well, it did. But that was a long time ago, although it is still upon the musty statute books of Merrie Eng- —— e land. The present evidence of growing kindliness of spirit—which logically fol- lows mental development—is the estab- lishment of a refuge for stray cats in our large citles. Now, the men may laugh— but who, with sufficient imagination to know what hunger means, can fail to sympathize with the spirit of the brave little schoolgirl in New York, Margaret Hewson, .who appealed to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to estabhish a place of refuge for abandoned cats. The vicinity of East River and Thirty- fifth street having been vacated to make room for improvements, the families liv- ing in the dense district scattered to the four winds. But they left their cats—for some medieval superstitious reason. e ES I DONIH f; | Thus in London have the soclety folk opened the Hackbridge Home; Paris, the Baroness d'Herpent Refuge; Washington and Chicago, the Homes for Friendless Animals; and Boston, the Gilford Shelter- tng Home. It remained for the little schoolgirl, assisted by Miss Harrlet Bing- ham, a girl of the smart set, to give the ‘waifs of the dumb world in New York a refuge from want. Cannot San Francis- co's soclety ®girls do as much? Tt is true we have the Pound, such as it is, but hu- manitarianism doesn’t figure largely in its management. eiilis ile ‘Wasn't that a funny coup at Los Ange- les a few days ago when the Chief of Police broke in upen a set of society people playing poker? And shocking to relate—they were playing for stakes. Well, from the grilling, roasting, baking, frying and boiling that the Chief received for his o'erzealousness it is a safe gamble that 'he won't invade a private home again without en invitauon. That men and women will play for stakes—just to make things hum—is a foregone conclusion. That they do not play for high stakes is likewise a.patent fact—at least among the women, perhaps because they lack the currency. At any rate, the “kitty” usually becomes a pub- lc fund, out of which, at the month's end, some entertalnment for the players is paid for. Thus cupidity is not culti- vated and a spirit of rivalry holds a healthy existence. If the Chief of Police of San Francisco were similarly struck with moral motives he would need the whole detective force to stop the games that go merrily on in the households in San Francisco, and In many excellent ones at that. That kind of morality is of toadstool growth. WA Ly California is partly responsible for the Goelet-Roxburghe nuptials and the con- sequent 'loss of the good currency that crosses the pond to replenish the coffers of England. ' It was a Californian—none other than the irrepressible and irresisti- ble Cora Urgubart Potter—who, at the earnest solicitation of Mamma Goelet, in- troduced the most eligible nobleman’ in England—who proved to be Roxburghe— to Miss May. As matchmakers the Wil- sons have won a world-wide fame, and May’'s mamma s a Wilson. ‘Hence Miss May will marry a Roxburghe and take precedence over every Yankee peeress— doesn’t that sound funny?—except Con- suelo, who has the indisputable and un- alienable privilege of “trotting ahead.” Faee w50 ‘With many a sigh and an unsuppressed tear the gallant Seventh has folded its tents like the Arab—it isn't safe to repeat the rest. That moistness of eye Is bad form and palpitation of-the heart is worse —only not so evident—is admitted by the court, but it must be aqmitted also that with the advance of clvilization we haven't yet been able to suppress the emotions that God endowed us with when he made us. That may be bad form, too, but it is a fact nevertheless. o e At the farewell ing, given by the artillery off Presidio. to the departing their ladies, a delightful even joyed by both guests and ho: green were the colors used in tion—red for love and courag: memory.
