The Walter Martins will take quarters in San Mateo, so, too, the Downey-Harveys, with Anita ey as a prospective debutante of next winter. Both the Harvey girls are clever mentally and have devoted much time to athletics. The Martins will surely dominate San Mateo. That was a charming affair that Mrs. George Hastings gave to her:friends on Saturday last, when the farce, “Ici on wi Parle Francais,” was presented. And right cleverly did the following cast pronounce their lines: Miss Anna Livingston, Miss Aida Hastings, Miss Zita Hastings, Miss Es- ther Lambert, Harry W. Seawell, Frank Erlin and Charles D. Holman. Miss Zita Hastings in the part of Mary Ann, the Irish servant girl, did excel- lent work. A leap-year dance followed the performance. Those present wer Judge and Mrs. James M. Seawel Mrs. J.

Luncheons, bowling affairs, dinners, and lastly bridge—dear, blessed bridge—have saved the women from ennui. “Stagnation,” they say, “is a pernicious thing.” Hence the in- formal pursuance of pleasure.

Therefore it should be ome of its chief pleasures. It is raised from the level of ‘feeding’ (or stoking the fur- nace) by cookery and the service of the food.” But she doesn’t go far enough. Given a perfectly prepared and daintily served dinner, does that imply a com- plete removal from barbarism? Un- happily, no! A cursory glance around Zinkand's, Techau's or the Palace Grill any night after the theater will con- | vince the skeptical that our Western men—as a class—have not yet learned to dine, or sup. They feed. + s s And “what a carelessness” — our friend Dill would say—as to creases in trousers, set of coat, choice of neck- wear, and usage of gloves! In New i+ York, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Washing- ton and Denver business and profes- sional men have standards of dress i that reflect much credit upon them and unlimited admiration from the women- | folk—and we would that our men, than whom there are no dearer in the world, would only get busy and do likewise. Time was when a well dressed man was regarded with suspicion out here in the West—and justly so, because he usually was a gambler and confidence man—but that era is past, and dress has come to be an index of a man's personality and his degree of prosper- ity—likewise his social status. To be sure, many wolves wear gentlemen's clothes, but that ip itself is a tribute to s, the gentleman.

The bride was gowned in 'a blue cloth going-away frock, and ‘'was given into the Keeping of the groom Dy August: Newell.” A wedding breakfast was en- Juyed at the Palace, after which 'the happy pair left for the south. The following guests witnessed the ceremony: Mrs. E. A. Crowell, Mr. and Mw¥s. Alpheus Bull, Mr. and Mrs. Au- &ustus Newell, Lieutenant and Mrs. Edward W. Robinson, Miss Grant, Miss Forbes and R. R. Morrow. wtes e The Armour-Wheelock wedding was a very interesting affair, occurring at the home-of the bride’s paremts. The drawing-room, where the ecere- mony was performed by the Rev. John Stephens, was made into a bridal bower by a prodigal use of ferns, palms, white roses and carnations. The bride wore a smart gown white embroidered Brussels net, chiffon; a soft tulle veil-fell from her hair and she carried lilies of the val- ley. Her sole attendant was Miss Amy Jones of Oakland, who was gowned ef- fectively in pale green silk and chiffon The young people will make their fu- ture home in San Pedro. over The last of a trio of pretty weddings was that of Miss Mabel Son, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert A.'Son, and Ja- cob A. Goldsmith of Baltimore. The ceremony was performed at the An- gelus hour by Dr. Jacob Voorsanger, at the hcme of the bride, 2185 Pacific avenue. Palms, lilies and fragrant fruit blos- soms transformed the home into a flower garden, in the midst of which the vows were spoken. The bride was radiant in her nup- tial robe of liberty satin and Venice lace, while her attendant, Miss Hen- rietta Son, wore a smart frock of chif- fon crepe. The happy pair have gone south, which trip will extend to New Orleans, to New York, and thence to Balti- more, where the interests of the groom will cause him to set up his household gods therein. A One of the most charming visitors to San Francisco for many moons is the lovely Polly Tongue of Oregon. A reigning belle in the Northwest, Miss Tongue was equally popular in Wash- ingt.n, D. C., where she lived as chate- laine for her father. the late Congress- man, than whom -few men of the liorthwest were better known nor more beloved. Miss Tongue will remain in the city for some weeks and is being exten- sively ehtertained in a quiet Lenten way. Just watch’ her and her smart mount in the park some morning and you will see some good horseman- ship. [ eil s Another prominent visitor from the great Northwest is among us—Mrs. A. Penner Briggs of Victoria, B. C., who is on a visit to her mother, Mrs. Tillmann. Mrs. Briggs, as Miss Tillmann, fig- ured prominently in local society’ and many girlhood friends have long look- ed forward to this visit, but the death of her father a short time after her clever equestriennes will jump Rurdies, do cakewalks and do various clever stunts wholly out of the ordinary. T charities that are ministered to by the Daughters is sure of splendid returns from the affair. & i The bridegrooms, Jack Wilson and Judge Henshaw, put in appearance at the Bohemian Club Thursday night, and were given a rousing welcome. Isn't it funny how the world loves a lover The Wilsons are domiciled at the S Dunstan, where they will re- main for some little time. Where, O where, will they stow away their car- load of wedding gifts—unless they lease the storeroom ? . Le- 4 That's going to be a stunning af- fair of Mrs. Carolan’s, her Mi-Careme masquerade at the Burlingame club- house on Thursday night. The invi- tations are cleverly executed posters in red and black and announce that the affair is to be a bal masque com- ique, with a cotillon at midnight. Likewise they announce that special electric cars will leave Fifth and Mar- ket streets at $:45 p. m. for those go- ing down. Mrs. Andrew MecCreery has joined with Mrs. Carolan in issu ing the invitations. “Smart affair You may bank upon that, fair friend Mrs. Carolan has never been accused of giving stupid affairs.

From the West Mrs. Will Tevis is planning a Conti- nental tour, accompanied by Miss Su- sanne Blanding. Is Knox Maddox go- ing, too? Well, now, just ask him—or Miss Blanding. The “tabbies” had them on the eve of engagement some little time ago. but there are others who declare there's nothing in it. e oy A distinet acquisition to our smart set is the Count RozwWwadowski and his wife, the Count coming to us as Consui from italy. They formerly resided in Chicago, where he and his charming wife held a splendid social pesition. The Consul is of remote Polish ex- traction and is wedded tor a daughter of the Nile, whom he wooed and won during his service in the diplomatic corps at Alexandria. It is thought that our local smart set will entertain them extensively, as both are musical, artistic and charming. & “ar e Miss Bernadette Robinson, Miss Josephine Tillman.

Letters tell of the carnival fun in the old city, of the costumes, the music, the confetti, the spirit of the hour, when all, all was joy. The wanderers attended the famous state ball. Unfortunately, in the midst of the gayety came the news to Miss Tillman of the death of her father. While the sad event will deter her from further gayeties, it is not thought that she will return until ~-» brother, Dr. Ti den Tillman, finish-s his post graduate course in Londom.
