Mrs. de Young’s vaudeville-entertainment last winter had many original and clever features and those who saw two society men present impersonafe the ‘“Babes in the Woods” have never stopped talk- ing about it. eiiw e There is some talk among the bach- eiors of getting up-a novel vaudeville programme with unigue surprises as features of the evening, but I. think if the bachelors actually entertain this winter - that would ‘occasion about all the surprise we could stand. There has beeh some attempt to re- vive the chafing dish parties at the Presidio Club. Those were such. jolly, informal times when the girls wore shirt - waists and tailor skirts and cooked suppers in the chafing dishes, but the people ‘who like formal affairs are winning out and the Presidio. hops will become more and more conven- tional. 5 & e ite Mrs. J. M. Henry, who is spending the winter with her parents, .Dr.-and Mrs. A. H. Voorhies, is more feted than any debutante. Not a @inner or lunch- eon has been disengaged foy the past three weeks d charming entertain- ment has been arranged for her for the fortnight to come. s Mrs. Henry has resided in Washing- ton since. her marriage and. those friends who knew her as the popular Kate Voorhies are vying with each other in making her visit here a de- Jightful one. Mrs. Henry was beautiful at the last Jeunesse assembly in a gown of white i satin and Duchesse lace. One would not guess, to meet her, that she has a little daughter eight years of age. ariian e Miss‘Belle Harmes is said to have forsworn - society for this winter, in- tending to stay at home and accom- plish things worth while, but her reso- lution ‘does not seem to have taken effect yet, for she was seen at the Jeunesse assembly and a number of other affairs. Miss Harmes was recently pro- nounced by some one the most beau- tiful girl in society. case it should be her religious duty to go out and gladden the esthetic eye, Beauty is scarce everywhere. Miss Harmes certainly dresses in exquisite taste. ' A most becoming toilette which she recently affected consisted of a white cloth gown, mink furs and a light picture hat. ¢ S Miss Malita Pease was hostess at a very pretty dinner at her home on Pacific avenue on Tuesddy evening. The decorations weke red roses and the candelabra shades were of the same color. Miss Pease, who is ever a This being the - charming hostess, had everything per- fectly arranged for the comfort and pleasure of her guests and the evening was delightfully spent. Those present were: Miss Florence Cole, Miss Gertrude Dutton, Miss Ed- na Middleton, Captain Heidt, W. W. ‘Williams, Jack ' Polhemus and ' Mr. ‘Willlamson. J o el Mrs. James A. Black is wearing hand- some sables this winter, which are ad- mirably suited to her brunette type of beauty. The collarette has long stole ends extending nearly to the hem of the skirt. LR Miss Maye Colburn’s brown velvet gown, worn with sable furs and hat, is a yery happy thought and the most becoming costume she has donned for many a day, although her ermine is pretty and the rightful heritage of women with light hair. I Miss Mabelle Toy is wearing a good deal of brown this winter with charm- ing effect. She was much admired a few days ago, when she wore a brown cestume, with boa and muff of mink fur, brown ribbon and chiffon. { P Ermine is vying with sable in popu- larity this season. Mrs. Richard Mul- cahy is wearing a beautiful set of er- mine furs with her light gowns. The collarette has long stole ends reaching to the bottom “of the skirt and the muff js an immense curved affair trimmed with a row of animals’ heads and soft touches of chiffon. .o Miss Helen Baily will make her de- but next Saturday, December 12, at a tea to be given by her mother, Mrs. Baily, at the John F. Swift residence, 824 Valencia street, Mrs. Swift is an aunt ¢f the debutante. Several hun- dred invitations have been issued and the affair should be an auspicious be- ginning of a bright and happy social career. Those who will assist in receiving are: The Misses Huntington, the Misses King, the Misses Gibbons, Miss Elsie Dorr. Miss Frances McKinstry, Miss Mary Josselyn, Miss Margaret Newhall and Miss Ruth McNutt. Miss Mary Swift Baily, another daughter of Mrs. Balily, is mak- ing her debut this season at Shanghai under the ' chaperonage of her aunt, Mrs. James F. Fearon, who was before her marriage Miss Emily Talbot. The Fearons took Miss Baily home with them om their return from Europe, stopping at Yoko- hama, where they were entertained at the United States legation. Miss Baily spent some happy childhood days at the legation when her uncle, John F. Swift, was United States Mnister, and a second visit would be full of pleasant memories. Miss Baily is very clever and charm- ing and will certainly be a favorite with the entire American colony. She graduated with honors at the Univer- sity of California last May and holds a degree of bachelor of letters. We would have been proud to number her among our winter buds in this cfty, but will probably see nothing of her until next autuma. When the Fearons remove to New York City Mr. Fearon will give up his commission in China to accept the vice presidency of a banking corporation. R Mr. and Mrs. Chester L. Hovey wil give a large reception next Thursday evening in honor of their son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Hovey, who have just turned from ome of their wedding trips. They will leave within a week for another trip and will travel extensively before returning to the city to reside. The bride was Miss Grace Garoutte daughter of Judge and Mrs. Garoutt and is charmingly bred. The Hovey- Garoutte wedding in Berkeley on the s1st of last month was a very pretty and exclusive affair. Richard Hovey is engaged in business with his father, who has extensive lumber interests. . . Walter Grant Ross of New York is one of the latest additions to society and a most agreeable one. He has made brief visits to this city on pre- vious occasions, but will remain through the present winter, if not per- manently. He is a warm friend of Philip Paschel, whose geniality and musical ability have brought him great popularity. 3 % £ The engagement is announced of Miss Anita Clair Walsh and John Talbot Tyner of ork. —————— YOUNG TERRY MAKING TLE PAWNBROKERS RICH Castellane’s Relative Leads a Fast Race and Borrows Money on ~Automobiles. PARIS, Dec. 5.—The pawnshops of Paris are making money from the automobiles pawned by Francisco Ter- ry, the spendthrift son of Emilio Terry, brother-in-law of Count Stanislaus de Castellane. It is gossip of the clubs that Terry has pawned five automo- biles for comparatively trifling sw This is the first time Paris pawnbrok- ers have been asked to advance money on automobiles.” Among the machines Terry has pawned are two racing ma- chines, one of which ‘won the Piris- Bordeaux race in. May. Terry bought this and a sixty-horse:power Mercedes a few months ago. Though only 23, Terry finds an allowance of $60,000 a year insufficient for his needs. He is generous. He recently gave a singer at the Opera a house costing 330. 000, The youth relieves his immediate wants by discounting notes with money lend- ers at rapaclous prices. Notes already negotiated total a million francs. Terry now is in the hands of a notori- ous money lender called Tour de Mou- lin, who furnishes money to youths with expectations at heavy rates of interest. The Terry and Castellane families are moving to have & guardian appointed to restrain the spendthrift. b et THE KING'S GIFT A $5000 SABLE COAT Edward VII Remembers Mrs. Kep- pel’s Handsome Birthday Pres- ent of a Miniature.
