PR gl ) The luncheons given by Mrs. Mau- Miss Shortridge and Emil Bruguiere gave to society. Ever since October last the nuptials have been looked for then came Mr. Bruguiere's trip Fast in the interest of his opera, Three Kings of Korea,” and coinci- dent with it the report of the break- ing of the engagement of the young folk. So soon, however, as the opera had a hearing—and incidentally was ac- cepted—the young composer returned to Menterey, where M Shortridge was visiting with her mother.

Monday—Mrs. Andrew Welch gives a luncheon at the University Club. Tuesday—The Mardi Gras ball, Miss Beatrice Fife to be hostess at a tea and Miss Elsa Cook to wed Charles Edward Greenfield. And thus with the dazzling Mardi Gras will the winter of 1904 come to a brilliant close, marking.the most pre- tentious winter San Francisco has ever known. Thus as we grow commercially we grow socially, largely by observing the manners and customs of older peo- ples, and by the wealth garnered by our forefathers all things become possi- ble to the clever woman—and to the clever man, for men, too, have social attitudes to attain, even as have women, but the rascals won't admit it. PR On Saturday last Miss Olive Hamil- ton gave a breakfast to fourteen friends, who - afterward formed the receiving party at her tea, to which a large number of invitations had been issued.

PR Mrs. Frank Carolan's tea, at the Palace, was an elegant affair. Perhaps more stunning gowns were seen in the reception rooms on Monday than have gathered together for many moons.

" 5 e Among the bouquet of buds who came out late in the season was Miss Helen Bailey, daughter of Mrs. Nor- ris and niece of Mrs. John F. Swift. Your pardon for thrusting herewith a few little peceadilloes of ours—and a few of these concern our girls—who are undeniably the dearest things in the world, but are none the less just— a—little—wee—bit asea on a few litt mendable matters. Nothing seriou however. There’s a little book market called “Don'ts for Girls.” 1 don’t know the author of and I don’t know the publis! do know that it contalns a good things, and I beg herewit quote a few: For the easily shocked girl: be a prig. Girls who are neve foolish are always deadly du For the silly girl: “Don't (This, I think, especially applies to topics at teas.) Gigglers sh d be punished by solitary confin For the romantic girl: “D ratify the heresy that girls ‘love arkness better than light.” Light up, o ou’'ll hear the hissing of the scandal snake To every girl: “Domn’t speak ill of your ex-friends. Ignoring them is bet- ter.” To the insincere girl: “Don’t be a shallow pate. Be bright, merry a witty, ‘but never frisky or frivolous. To some girls I know: “Don’t use the name of a wealthy acquamntance in or der to exalt yourself. You immediat ly drop, in the opinfon of listeners, the vulgarian’'s status.”™ To us all: “Don’t talk loudly in theater or a musicale. To do so sho bad manners and lack of artis taste.” But how about churc Haven't you seen some antic at we dings in church rather out of tune wi your preconceived notions of church conduet? And just one more adage, that seer especially apropos at this busy hour “Don’t abuse your strength. Ye muscles are delicate. ‘On the go’ a the time presages ‘Off the go’ in la life. Stupid, you say? Well, perhaps all adages are stupid—but a little slow ing down at this swift season to th a bit is a beneficent thing for mind and body—though I frankly concede that preaching “is” stupid.
