The unfortunate victims of municipal apa- mery and Lombard streets. were supposed to have walked off cliff while wandering around the steep sides of the hill while intoxicated, nd there have been whisperings of play and robbery, but the police have never been able to secure any evi- dence to show that death was the re- sult of a crime. The latest victim was Clarence Frank, a young soldier from the Angel Island bar ks. He was found unconscious on December 7 and died in the Central Emergency Hospital a short time after- ward.

Swift yesterday afternoon at her residence, 824 Valenéia street. It was the means of formally introducing Miss Helen Ingram Baily to soclety. The new debutante is the younger daughter of Mrs. E. M. Norris and & niece of Mrs. Swift. She greeted their friends with sweet cordiality of man- ner, which insured her popularity at once. Six hundred invitations were is- sued for the affair, and during the re- ceiving hours, from 4 to 6 o'clock, the spacious rooms were crowded with handsomely gowned visitors. Many gen- tlemen were also present, including army officers, as the debutante’s father, the late Charles M. Baily, was in the Government service. The house was lavishly dJecorated with flowers. Pink predominated in the drawing-rooms, where roses, carnations and chrysanthemums were massed with artistic effect. In the dining- room the cclor scheme was red, includ- ing Christmas berries interspersed with foliage. The refreshment table was made attractive with flaming poinset- tias. Mrs. Swift, becomingly gowned in black silk, warmly welcomed her guests with Mre. Norris, who was even more cherming than usual in white renais- sance lace over chiffon and silk. Her only ornaments were pearls. Miss Helen Baily wore a dainty gown of white valenciennes over silkand carried white roses. Those who assisted in receiving were Miss Mary Josselyn, Miss Hazgel King, Miss Genevieve King, Miss Ruth McNutt, Miss Margery Gibbons, Miss Florence Gibbons, Miss Elizabeth Hunt- ington, Miss Marian Huntington, Miss Alys Sullivan and Miss Elsie Dorr. 8w Mr. and Mrs. William Mayo Newhall presented their charming daughter, Margaret Newhall, to soclety at a tea which they gave at their home yester- day afternoon. Miss Newhall has just returned from Europe, where she has had study and travel before entering upon a social career. She has a most attractive personality and is being cor- dially welcomed by both old friends and new ones. The Newhall home was prettily decorated with Christmas ber- ries, mistletoe, vases of cut flowers and a profusion of foliage. A large number of callers was received during the after- noon and most hospitably entertained. Those invited to assist in receiving were Mrs. Timothy Hopkins, Mrs. Rus- ‘Wilson, Mrs. Joseph Crockett, Mrs. nce Frank, Mrs. George Almer , Mrs. Walter Martin, Miss ilson, Miss Gertrude Hyde- Newell Drown, Miss Helen Chesebrough, Miss Isabel Kittle, Miss Linda Cadwalader, Miss Margaret Mee, Miss Lucy Coleman, Miss Christine Pomeroy, Miss Gertrude Joliffe, Miss Genevieve King and Miss Hazel King. . s e The Guild of Arts and Crafts, Miss Octavia Holden president, continued its exhibition at the Palace Maple room yesterday and will be open to the pub- lic on Monday from 10 ¢’clock in the morning until the same hour in the evening.

WEEPS WHILE HE TESTIFIES Maude Amber’s Spouse Breaks Down When Happy Days of His Courtship Are Recalled PR A8 Fiuffy damsels of the stage world again made Judge Murasky's court- room their headquarters yesterday morning, and the usual throng that longs for a sensation was also conspic- uous when the divorce suit of Maude Amber against Puerl Wilkerson came up for the third day of its trial. It was the defense's inning, and Puerl Wilker- son, the defendant, had the honor of being the main attraction. ‘Wilkerson's usually placid counten- ance changed when the days of his courtship and lovemaking were brought up iIn direct examination, and this man of the mimic world and its gay sur- roundings gave way to a flood of tears, e ———————— ADVERTISEMENTS.

He was ever ready with his answers after his weeping spell, and flatly contradicted every statement Mrs. Oveta Hawes had made while she was on the stand for the plaintiff. He reviewed in detail the trip of the “Fid- dle Dee Dee” road company in the Northwest, and denied having ever been unduely intimate with Myrtle Rosedale, either there or in this city, as alleged by Mrs. Hawes. Zora Irving, Agnes Williams and Ma- bel Daragh, chorus girls who occupied the same dressing-room with Mrs. Hawes at the Grand Opera-house some months ago, were put on the stand by the defense to show that the young woman had a bad reputation for truth. None of them knew Mrs. Hawes be- fore she played at the Grand Opera- house, but they all swore that the fair soubrette could not be relied upon to tell the truth. While they were on the stand Miss Amber, Mrs. Hawes and their collection of friends spent their time in glaring hard at the witnesses and whispering & few things among themselves. Anna Gorman, the chorus girl who was on the stand for the defense dur- ing Thursday’s proceedings, was cross- examined again by Attorney Humphrey, but she had no new evidence to relate, Mrs. Rose Bacon, landlady of the O’Farrell street lodging-house where Mrs. Hawes is alleged to have called, was put on the stand, but before she began her testimony Attorney New- brough substituted Wilkerson.
