Why—O, why must women flutter in and out of their club like a covey of quail? Haven't they ballast enough to sit through a number without dodging n and cut when a singer or a speaker is seeking to entertain? It is unques- tionably the quintessence of rudeness.

Mrs. Pinney presided with her usual tact, presenting Edward Tillson, who gave two clever piano solos, followed by Mrs. Edith Auffrey, a prominent member of the Press Club | of London, who gave a charming talk upon the club life of women in the Eng- lish capital, dwelling upon many phases and incidents of life with which we are unfamiliar. An analytical sketch of the late Queen caused much discussion later over the tea cups. The trials of | Ci journalists and editors -and, incident- ally, the compensatious—were handled seriously and otherwise by them that should know—Mrs. Frank P. Déering, Mrs. H. Colburn (formerly Mrs. Frona Eunice Waite) and Frank H. Winch, | who is still a scribe in-active service. The consensus of opinion was that the women that write for the papers are not in the “*hot bird and cold bottle” class—that journalistic bohemianism distinctly not a prerogative of newspaper women.

MRS CARRC) NICKOLS! A‘L ERIEE reore VOCALISTS WHO WILL SING TO-MORROW NIGHT AT STEINWAY HALL. 4 + Grace Davis Northrup and Mrs. C. Nicholson to Take Part. An evening song recital of unusual interest is to ba given to-morrow even- ing at Steinway Hall by Mrs. Grace Davis Northrup, soprano, and Mrs. Carroll Nicholson, contralto, with Fred Maurer at the piano, Mrs. Northrup and M Nicholson are both well known in this city and around the bay and are our best soloists, thei ranked among inging in con- cert, oratorio and church being of the first order. Mrs. Northrup's voite is of the dramatic order, clear and strong, yet very sweet and under perfect control in the lighter florid music. Mrs. Nichol- son has a rich, velvety voice, of great compass, and she sings with marked shading and’intelligence. The fact that Mr. Maurer will be at the piano is suf- ficient evidence that-the accompani- ments will be handled in a masterly manner and preper support be given the soloists. Mrs. Northrup's success in the “Sta- | bat Mater,” presented under Mascagni's direction during his recent visit here, her many appearances as soloist at the Loring Club concerts, the Grand Army Encampment receptions, Mechanics’ Pavilion concerts and oratorio and con- cert in all of the cities around the bay have placed her among the favored so- pranos of the vieinity. Mrs. Nichol- son’s marked, successes in the presenta- tion of Handel's “Messiah” and other leading oratorios in Oakland, her splen- did rendition of solos at the recent Bankers' convention reception at the Art Institute and other large receptions and concerts have caused her to be re- garded among the best equipped con- traltos in our local society. A rather novel feature of the enter- tainment will be the fact, that several society young ladies are to officiate in the capacity of ushers during the even- ing. The splendid blending of the soprano and contraltc voices during the even- ing’s recital will certainly be noted, as Hospitable Hosts Hasten to Entertain, for It Is Bad Form to Disturb the Lenten Quiet. With the Lenten season only two weeks away, many are the announce- ments of betrothals and nuptials that come to our willing ears. And then six weeks of passive rest. But when Easter comes, with its glad revival, then will the wedding bells ring merrily once more. As for house parties, the hospitable host is hasteniz_ to enter- tain her friends during these few weeks, for it is essentially bad form—to say nothing of the religious phase of it— to entertain or be entertained during Lent. Wedded. The wedding of David Kelly and Agnes C. Coleman took place in St. Patrick’s Church on Wednesday morn- ing, January 20. The bride was attend- ed at the altar by Miss Catherine Cant- well and the groom by Richard Blake. The ushers were Donald McKinnon and Leo Blake. The ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. P. J. Cummings and was followed by a nuptial mass. The altar was decorated for the occa- sion. The young couple will reside in| this city. Engaged.
