DR e To the misanthrope—poor fellow— who has ever a growl about the heat or the cold, the rain or the drought. the sun or the shadow of our blessed Cali- fornia, let me quote the following from Cholly Knickerbocker, apropos to out- door sports in New York: *It is sup- posed to be spring, but there is not even a bud or a leaf in the park to give evi- dence of the fact. There was almost a universal case of.the shivers at the dif- ferent weddings on Wednesday and winter’ gowns were in evidence. And it is so cold we dare not coach unless wrapped in heavy furs.” Now, will you be good, you San Fran- ciscans? We've been doing all sorts of out-of-door stunts wholly forgetful that the winter was on us. But then, if zoprer 1 MITEEN. . < M5 JOSETNF JF GREAVER_ ARNOLD GENTHE. | PHOTO - ARNOLD GENTHE. ProTO | we couldn’t growl at the weather. what could we growl at? It's a perfectly outlet for us, don’t you know? How many of us know, or appreciate, the strain of many well-intentioned mothers who stake their all on the launching of their daughters on the matrimonial sea Here is a Brooklyn woman who makes a clean breast of the whole thing in court, frankly stat- ing that she was compeiled to mortgage her home, her outside properties. even her summer cottage, to present her two daughters to society with the style she deemed proper. She even went further —to the extent of drawing checks on banks that were rude and crude enough to return the same marked “No funds™ —a most embarrassing thing for a bank to do to a lady, and a descendant of one of the Mayflower flock, too. Perhaps, had the wretch of a banker known that the lady who wrote the checks was an indisputable Mayflower descendant, he would not have returned the check: But herein is a moral. Are the re- quirements of society so rigorous and exacting as to cripple the finances of the fairly well-to-do? If so, is not the standard wrong? Is not too much stress laid upon dress, upon elaborate- ness of entertainment, upon all ex- ternals of living rather than upon the essentials of character and culture? This small matter seems to be rather close to a few of us San Franciscans That is a false standard, provocative only of heartaches and failures—and the end unworthy the means. Miss Moulton entertained her younger friends on Tuesday afternoon. Receiving with Miss Moulton ‘were: Miss Nourse, the Misses Birkmaier, Miss Booth, Mzgs. Carl Wilson, Miss Pitcher, Miss Wieland, Miss Wheaton, Miss Cutter and Miss Harland.

Much comment is being made about the lavish—almost barbaric—splendor * of the gowns, jewels, decorations, etc., at the New York weddings, but the woeful lack of something to eat at the feast afterward. Is this simply good form, or is it economy? . . . - Let San Franciscans once taste the WILLIAA xemi’ | summer joys of San Rafael and they have acquired the habit.

Miss Winnifred's marriage to Robert Menzies of San Ra- fael will probably take place in the early fall, soon after their return from the East. leave And now it i{s the “third rail” which may supplant the auto—for a time, at least—as a Marin grievance. The famous electric rail of the North Shore road was the cause of many anxious moments indulged in by mothers of small children and owners of valuable canines. But, regardless of harrowing prognostications, the third rail came and San Rafael succumbed. Not so Hermann Oelrichs. Mr. Oelrichs has a home in Ross, and he objects to the third rall. He has communicated with the Marin County Supervisors, saying— and saying truly—that those unable to read (to wit, small boys and canines) cannot take advantage of the “danger™ signs. Mr. Oelrichs in his corimunica- tion did not mention that te is the possesser of a blue-blooded, blue-coated Dane, for which he paid hundreds of dollars, They say that the pampered Dane has a house which borders on the palatial—front door, back entrance, windows, veranda, ete.—built by a well-known contractor of San Rafael. What wonder that Mr. Oelrichs, when he thinks of his valuable Dane, objects to the treacherous third rafl! And now let us wait and see what the hard- hearted Supervisors think of Mr. Oel- richs’ objections. & 4 ¢ Mrs. Mark Gerstle, who, by the way, is one of the cleverest and wittiest wo.- men in soclety—likewise one of the most tasteful dressers—has taken o cottage at Carmel-by-the-Sea for two s months.
