Fans are not as frequent as flowers, but are sometimes sent by devoted friends. 11 eyes upon her, the debutante is clined to be rather conscious. that she 1s there, but if she will remember that politeness is only kindness she will be too busy to be {ll at ease. As she is presented to her mother’s friends one by one she will avoid stereotyped re- sponses to their words of greeting, but w ember their names and faces, ething in them to like and be genuinely glad to see them—as sweet and cordial to them as to HNer intimate girl friends. If the deb te is well bred, kind- hearted, sympat and thoughtful for the comfort and happiness of others her popularity is assured. A San Francisco girl who came out at a ball winter before last not only had a good time herself, but sought out ell of the older chaperons and found some one to talk to them and take them to supper, that they might be as happy as she. With so sweet a spirit any girl would be a success and the one to whom I refer has been remark- ably so. Yesterday was a day of coming-out teas. Miss Tallant was presented by her aunt, Mrs. F. W. Tallant. Mrs. John Parrott entertained for her two daughters, Miss Mary Emily Parrott and Miss Abby Parrott. Mrs. Chese- brough gave the reception introducing her own daughter and Miss Newell Drown. Miss Newell Drown is one of the handsomest of the winter buds, but she is a very quiet girl and will not devote herself to soclety as en- thusiastically as did her sister, Miss Bernie Drown. Miss Lulu Bothin was presented at a pretty tea given by Miss Mau on Friday. 85 .8 Miss Mabel Watkins, Miss Bessie Wilson and Miss Etelka Williar will be among the debutantes this winter, al- though they are not exactly buds, hav- ing gone out a great deal informally. Mrs. A. A. Watkins will entertain for her daughter in the Kimble house, which they have taken for the winter. Miss Bessie Wilson, who has spent considerable time abroad, is now at her home on Broadway. Miss Etelka Willlar has come over from Sausalito with her brother, Harry Willlar, and will spend the winter months at the Nordhoff. Others who may make their formal bows this season are Miss Helen Pet- tigrew, Miss Olga A(herson, Miss An- nie Wooster, Miss Dove, Miss Norma Castle and Miss Gladys de Young. Miss Elsa Draper did not make her debut at the tea given last week by her mother, Mrs. T. Wain Morgan Dra- per, as was generally supposed, but will come out next year. The ted was a very delightful affair and many of Miss Draper’s friends comprised the re- her formal debut WA - - celving party. They were Miss Onna Sperry, Miss Etelka Willlar, Miss Ca- sey, Miss Dorothy Dunstan, Miss Louise Stone, Miss Peters, Miss Langhorne and Miss Frances Reid Miss Gertrude Dutton has been aus- piciously unched and has every prom- ise of a smooth career. In gddition to debutante has a ct ming mother, who, it is said, makes friends for the entire family. Mre. Henry Dutton’s friends are look- forward to being entertained in her w handsome home on Washington street. She is generally conceded to be a beautiful and fascinating hostess and has been greatly missed during her absence abroad. Mrs. Dutton, who was Miss Jane Dunne, is expecting Mr. and Mrs. Harry Macfarlane from Honolulu shortly before Christmas. Mrs. Mac- farlane, better known here as the pretty Miss Polly Dunne, is beloved In San Francisco society for her vivacious manner and charming personali S Sy Miss Sarah Welch, who is being en- tertained considerably, is a beautiful Southern girl. 'Her home is in South Carolina, but she will remain in San Francisco until January with her uncle, J. M. Sims. B YR e i The Presidio hops this winter will be particularly charming affairs, perhaps as enjoyable as were those informal evenings at the club when the ladies wore shirt waists and tallor skirts and cooked deliclous suppers in chafing dishes. I can assure you of a jolly dance, as the new committee will spare no pains in bringing congenial people together and the martial music is something of an inspiration in itselt. The following officers are in charge of the arrangements: Lieutenant Camp of the cavalry, Captain Nance ol tha cavalry, Major Todd of the artillery, Captain Johnston of the artillery, Lieu- tenant Sypher of the artillery, Captain Hinkley, adjutant, and one doctor from the general hospital, to be elected by the hospital. 3 e w A strange coincidence in the marriage of both Lieutenant William R. Bettison and Lieutenant Murphy is still the sub- Ject of much comment among their friends. Both officers were great chums when they lived together at No. 11, Presidio. Both became engaged at the same time and confided the fact to each other, but did not mention any wedding day. Later the lieutenants were assigned to different posts and saw no more of each other, but on October 17 both were married and tele- graphed the news as a surprise, where- upon congratulations were immediately exchanged by wire. Lieutenant Mur- phy married Miss Virginia Nokes at her home In this city, and Lieutenant Bettison married Miss Marion Smyth, daughter of Marriot C. Smyth, at Hav- erford, Pa. The Rev. Herbert Shipman, chaplain of the United States Military Academy at West Point, performed the latter ceremony. T The members of the new Galety Co- tillon Club will have their first dance on the th of December at the home of Miss Helen Chesebrough. Thirty-five young men have been selected for the first cotillon from a list of 200, and the others will have to walit until the neéxt. The remaining three dances will be at the homes of Miss Pomeroy, the Misses McCalla at Mare Island and Miss Ruth Allen. The exact dates have not yet been decided upon. The members of this new club are 'chiefly from the younger set and are twenty-five in number. Among them are Miss Ger- trude Eells, chairman; Miss Christine Pomeroy, secretary-treasurer; Miss Emily Carolan, Miss Cora Smedberg, Miss Stella McCalla, Miss Lutle Collier, Miss Helen Chesebrough, Miss Anna Sperry, Miss Newell Drown, Miss Olga Atherton, Miss Ruth Allem, Miss Fran- ces Allen, Miss Elizabeth Ljvermore, Miss Ruth McNutt, Miss Emily Wilson, Miss Hazel King, Miss Lucy Gwin Coleman, Miss Elizabeth Huntington, Miss Linda Cadwallader and Miss Maud Bourn. & iy Mrs. Malcolm Henry, who was guest of honor at the reception given by Mrs. Maurice Casey and Miss Catherine Dillon yesterday, was warmly wel- comed back to San Francisco. Mrs. Henry, who prior to her marriage sev- eral years ago was Miss Kate Voor- hies, now resides in Washington, but has come West to visit her father, Dr. A. H. Voorhies. Mrs. Voorhies is in the East visiting her daughter and son-in- law, Lieutenant and Mrs. Guy Scott, at Fort McHenry, but will return in time for La Jeunesse next Wednesday. Miss Marie Voorhies is being pleasant- 1y entertained in the Orient. s s e Mr. and Mrs. James Burgess Stetson B have sent out cards for a reception on Tuesday afternoon from ¢ until 6 o'clock. The Stetson home on the cor- ner of Van Ness avenue and Clay street is particularly adapted to entertaining and the tea will doubtless be one of the largest of the season and the first given by the Stetsons since their mar- riage. ol el Tom Barbour gave a stag dinner in the red room at the Bohemian Club last Tuesday to celebrate his birthday.

It will be remembered that she was at school when Colonel Ruthers married her on the eve of his departure for Cuba to take part in the war with Spain. Be- ing killed in this war his death left her a widow. To spend Christmas with hér mother, who is an artist in San Fran- cisco, Mrs. Ruthers intends to leave London immediately after business ar- rangements will allow her, but is ex- pecting to return to London early in the spring, possibly to study music. s Mrs. and Miss Brown of San Fran- cisco, who are now in Parls, are ex- pected in England in a few days. * e .
