The affair of Mrs. Chabot's was. as are all functions given by this popular over-the-bay hostess, a charming suc- cess. The following ladies were guests Mrs. E. A. Heron, Mrs. Andrew Fine, Mrs. Henry Wadsworth, Mrs. Paul Lohse, Mrs. Gordon H. Stolp, Mrs.'E B. Beck, Mrs. Samuel Hubbard, Mrs. . M. Walsh, M W. H.

' The card party of Mrs. William Shot- well at the St. Dunstan was one' of the week’s successes. The hostess was assisted in receiving by Mrs. S. W. Backus and Mrs. John ‘Wright. Those who spent the afternoon so enjoyably mingling ideals and testing each other's skill as players were: Mrs. Joseph Kieruiff, Mrs. Wi Mrs. Carl Gross, Mre.

The following ladies were present: Mrs. Robert’ Oxnard, Mrs. Babcock, Mrs. Timothy Hopkins, 'Mrs. Henry Scott, Mrs. Carter Pomeroy, Mrs. Gordon Blanding. Mrs.. Horace -Blanchard Chase, Mrs. Girvin, Mrs. Russell Wil- son, Mrs. Newhall and others. o 4 What a hilariously geod time was enjoyed Thursday night at ‘“His Royal Nibs.” The music? Now, while .not posing as a musical critic (because na- ture foreswore me the musical sense) the tunes that were warbled on Thurs- day nigpt were distinctly good to hear. Shafter Howard has done many good deeds in his life, but “His Royal Nibs"” is the best. And herein is the same aid of Mr. Clifford. good San Franciscans. There are some of us who marvel at the pluck of the.two aforesaid genii for projecting their work before their They are both fellow townsmen. That dces take pluck! You know the old adage of the prophet and honor—well, ’tis true, usually. But here is an instance where the fellow townsman patted the genius generously on the back, instead of rap- ping him on the head. The hospital should have done well financially by the clever presentation. The affair was managed by the following good fol Mesdames Francis Carolan, J. D. Spreckels, A. N. Towne, I. W. Hellman, E. Park, Archibald A brough, Mark Gerstle, A. E. Brooke Ridley, M. Meyerfeldt Jr., C. B. Alexander, J. H. Hatch, F. A. Robbing, D. H. Whittemore, Isaac Hecht, C. F. Stckes, Farrell W.

PR What an array of dinner Parties were held at the St. Francis after “His Royal Nibs.” And what stunning gowns! W g Mr. and Mrs. John R. Hanify have taken the Starr Kieler cottage in Sau- salito for four months. They will give up their rooms in the Palace Hotel May 1. SR a The friends of the winsome little bride, Mrs. Henry Todd Powell, will be glad to hear that she will not go to Port Townsend to live as expected, for upon the return from their honeymoon. spent in the south, Mr. Powell received orders from Washington transferring him to the revenue cutter McCulloch at Saysalito. Mr. and Mrs. Powell will, therefcre, be at home during the sum- mer months at Alta Mira, Sausalito. P : To the fore come the ladies of the San Rafael Improvement Club ‘with suggestions of a charming out-of-door function. . There will be no doubt of its success if it is backed by the improve- ment club. Mrs. Vincent Neale is pres- ident of this popular organization; Mrs. William Babeock, vice president, and Mrs. William J. Casey, secretary. PR R . Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Simmons, who bave occupied the attractive Cox place - in, San .Rafael.for the past year, will leave soon for a six -months’ trip threugh Europe. Many are the friends who will'wish the Simmonses “bon’voy- age,” and it is hoped that this trip will do’much for Mrs. Simmons, who has been something of ‘an invalld for many months. P T " Mrs. W. B. Bradford has decided on an BEastern trip which will, of course, include’ the St.-Louis Exposition. « w e Miss Murphy of Menlo has been visit- ing the Douglas Hardys of San Rafael. AR I The horse has won! At least tempo- rarily. The hard-hearted Marin Super- visors have refused to modify the strin- gent automebile ordinance. - There is sorrow in the hearts of the Hotel Ra- fael authoriti; It probably means the logs of several thousand dollars to them, owing to the number of enthu- siasts who would have taken advantage of the hotel through the summer could they ‘have taken their autos with them. The hotel autherities have not quite given up hope, however. They may carry the matter beyond the Supervisors and into the courts. In the meantime let the horse-lover enjoy himself. One of the “‘smartest’” turn- outs- in town is that of the Willlam Babcocks. The Fosters' prancing thor- cughbreds step as if their ancestors had arrived in an equine Mayflower, while the ponies belonging to the-ittle Fosters are genuine fairy-tale ponies. The J. W. Bucks drive a pair of beau- ties. In fact, there is probably no town in the State which can make a better showing in the way of horseflesh. But —in these days of progress exit the horse, and we might as well submit to it. So—the contest still bids fair to be interesting. a5 4 N It is not probable that the “Ed.” Newhalls will occupy their San Rafael home this summer. They will be much missed. There is not a more genial, beaming face to be seen anywhere than Mr. Newhall's, and the Newhall girls on their ponies were among the pic- turesque features of San, Rafael. A quiet and pretty wedding took place on last Tuesday evening, when Miss Josephine €. McLaughlin became the bride of George F. McGrill. The cere- mony was performed at the Church of the Sacred Heart, the Rev. Father Byrne officiating. The bride was charming in a gown of tan crepe de chine trimmed with Irish point and carried a bouquet of La France roses. Miss Edith Igce was bridesmaid. She was - gowned in a beautiful creation of gray silk and also carried a bouquet of La France roses. William McGrill, brother of the groom, was best man. After the ceremony a reception was tendered the young couple at the resi- dence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Levy, 323 Scott street., Immediately after the reception the young couple left on their honeymoon. Upon™ théir return they will take up ti eir residence at Mill Val- ley. * eV ‘What a lovely galaxy of June brides! Miss Florence Baily has decided to wed under the blue June skies; sc, too, Miss Blanding, who may journey to Europe to be wedded on foreign soil. Miss Quinan, too, will be a June bride. but the event will be quietly celebrated Who will soon forget the gatherir of bonny faces seen yesterday at the chrysanthemum fete? The officers the philanthropic little organiz are: Mrs. John F. Merrill, honor Miss Georgie Spicker, aula Wolff, first vice- vice president; president; Miss P president; Miss Rachel Hovey, sécond vice ‘president; Miss Ruth Gedney, treasurer: Miss Zelda Tiffany, record- ing‘secretary; Miss Norma Castle, co responding secretary, and M ohn C. ‘Wilson, auditor. .Among the energetic workers—and they were workers who worked—were Miss Rachel Hovey, Mra. J. V. de Laveaga, Miss Laura Taylor, Mrs. John C. Wilson, Miss Mabel Toy, M Mabel Hogg, Mrs. Harvey Mar- shall Toy, Miss Georgie Spieker, Mra. Georgie Shepherd, Miss Ruth Gedn M Norma Castle, Miss Edna Hann gan, Miss Zelda Tiffany, Mrs. Andrew Welch, Mrs. John Chase, Mi; Mabel Donaldson and Mrs. Charl Harley Yes, and there were others, too, whom a treacherous memory fails to recall But the consciousness is theirs—those that do good. The reward is Innerme ——————— Royal Arcanum. Acting upon the suggestion of Grana Regent Robert F. Jones of the Royal Arcanum, the San Francisco counciis have taken the observation of ti the order. Argonaut pointed Thomas Longw Schindele and Frederick Head West Council W. Van Buren, the preliminary steps for anniversary of Council has h, George ap- w Golden George William A. Butterfield and George H Bartlett, and Buena Vista Council Frank J. Miller, William V. N. Ray and Louis A. Hinson as delegates to a convention to arrange the details of the celebration. San Francisco and quoia councils will appoint their rep sentatives during the week. As as these shall have been named there will be a meeting to discuss plans. Golden West Council at its first meet- ing in April initiated several candi- dates, and under good of the order sev- eral addresses were delivered. the prin- cipal one being by Depuly Grand Re- gent G. L. Davidson. Regent H. B. Langille, Vice Regent William A. But- terfield, Secretary Thomas G. Hodsg- kins and Past Regents William M. Young, orge W. Van Buren and H. G. W. Dinkelspiel expressed their in- tention of making the council one of the most active in the jurisdiction San Francisco and Sequoia councils have announced that they are in the contest to take the prize banner from Buena Vista Council, and the 1| named council will make a strenuous effort to retain it. Buena Vista hopes to be able to hold it for two successive years. The ladies’ night of Le Conte Coun- cil, Berkeley, last week was a very enjoyable affair that engrossed the at- tention of a large number of the p - ple of that locality. There was an in- teresting programme of musical and literary numbers. —_— e Thief Hides in Sarcophagus. PARIS, April 23.—The Parisian thiet is well known for the various methods he adopts in trying to escape arrest, but that of Charles Mathieu is perhaps the most unigue in the memory of the oldest gendarme here. While two English women were standing mnear the Museum of the Leuvre yesterday Mathieu approached one of them, and, snatching her wrist bag from her, disappeared into the mu- seum. The building was searched, and when the gendarmes were about to abandon their efforts to find Mathieu one of the attaches of the institutessaw him lying in an Egyptian sarcophagus. The “mummy” was arrested, soon
