Among the interesting bits of news given out through the week were the betrothals of two couples well known to society—the engagement of Miss Malvina Marks of New York and Ed- gar D. Peixotto, and of Miss Florence Hellman and Sidney M. Ehrman. Miss Marks was a visitor to San Francisco two years ago, evidently king a deep impression upon the brilliant young barrister. During his recent visit to the East he pressed his uit with the happy result of a be- thal Miss Hellinan, the second fair flancee, i= the younger daughter of I. W. Hell- ian, president of the Nevada National P’ank and other financial institutions. Mr. Ehrman is a clever chap, a grad- uate of the Unlversity of California and of Hastings Law College, good looking and possessed of many social acquirements. The wedding dates of this quartet of young people have not been determined upon. A charming Jittle bride young Bishoo took unto himself when bonny Miss Sawyer consented to become his life companion. Mrs. Bishop, as well as the groom, comes of a legal fam- ily, her father being am attormey of note and her uncle, Judge Sawyer, a man of high attainments. B Quite the most elaborate affair of the week—outside the wedding func- tions—was the reception of Mrs. C. B. Parcells (formerly Miss Shreve) of Alameda. A wilderness of blossoms, s of pretty women and an atmos- phere of bonhomse made the function a feature of the ante-summer season ¢ o Among the receiving party were: Mrs. E. C. Morrison, Mrs. Churchill Taylor, Mrs. Stuart Smith, Miss Elizabeth Scupham, Miss Pauline Collins, Miss Lillan Moller, Miss Eyva Powell, Miss Helen Powell, Miss Aphia Vance, Miss Cordelia Bishop, Mrs. Melvin C.

Timerman, Miss Alice Heller, Miss Shreve, Miss Mary Bar- ker, Miss Grace Barnard and Miss Annie Flint. . e . The Erwin-Taylor wedding at the little Berkeley church on Wednesday was a pretty affair, as are all military weddings. Lieutenant Taylor and his bride will make their home on Alca- traz Island after returning from their post-nuptial trip. s R Apropos of brides, naval or military, the return of Mrs. Alexander Neely Mitchell to her home in this city is looked for next week, when the lieu- tenant will proceed to Mare Island for duty. Since leaving San Diego Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell have traveled much in the East, spending a month with the father of the groom, Judge J. H. Mitch- ell of New Philadelphia, Ohio, who, by the way, is a busy candidate for Con- gress from his district. Mrs. Mitchell is a sister of Mrs. George Perkins, who will welcome the return of the Mitch- ells to the coast. [FRE The Palace was the scene of two at- tractive weddings on Wednesday night, when the Morris-Lichtenstein and the Arendt-Marx nuptials were celebrated. o7 ja e The wedding of Mrs. Christine Luhrs- Cutting and Walter Byron Webster at the home of the bride’'s mother was a notable affair, Mrs. Cutting being a woman of much charm and personality, not mare popular, however, than Mr. Webster, who is identified with the many clubs in the city and is consid- ered a clever fellow. . > e = Miss Hazel King has gone to the mountains to.spend a couple of weeks before going to Europe to join her sis- ter, Miss Genevieve King. They will pass the summer months in seeing dif- ferent parts of the Continent, return- ing here for the winter. P Mrs. Frederick Stratton gave a charming entertainment Tuesday on board the cutter McCulloch, lying at Sausalito.

Haywards of the Oceanic Steamship Company, a girl of fine personality and much cultivation, having traveled extensively with her 4 S7010 | LHGTD vun e | | | + A i 4‘- 4 A 1 5 FALWSSLER. | / \/l P HoTo, (N 2 Qy7/’é'-_/mffl i ATENDF E2 3 —— A BRIDE, A BRIDE-TO-BE AND A CLEVER MATRON. g P Mr. and Mrs. Louis A.

The wedding recepticn will be neld at the Occidental, where the Hay- wards girls have . lived since their mother’s death some years ago. S e What a merry time Alice Roosevelt is giving the St. Louisans. She enter- tains even the policemen in that burg by scorching in her auto—rathgr in the Catlin auto—which, by the way, will be sanctified forevermore: On Tuesday the board of lady man- agers tendered the impetuous little lady a luncheon in the Woman's build- ing, which, dcubtless, was very much . of a bore to her. Instead of 100 invi- tations being issued, 150 were sent out, the superfluous fifty bringing to bear enough influence to force the issue. That’s a pretty story going the rounds of the dainty Miss Alice and M. La Grave, the handsome commis- sioner from France. The good-looking Gaul had the honor to cqnduct Miss Roosevelt through the Frénch section of the Manufacturers’ building, where, by the way, she was received by the dignitaries with the deference those charming courtlers understand so well. During the inspection a miniature watch, exquisitely jeweled, arrested her attention, whereupon the gallant La Grave begged Her to accept the little bauble as a gift. Lucky Miss Roose- velt! e A Of course everybody knows that Joa- quin Miller does things that are not set down in decalogues of young ladies’ seminaries. But it isn’t often that he does anything In the entertaining line =0 interesting as the luncheon he gave to forty boon companions last week. The guests of honor were the Count and Countess Geyza de Parhacs, who, with their babes and valet and mald, will soon become householders on land adjoining the Heights. PR Miss Mildred Kearney of San Fran- cisco has arrived in London and fis staying at the Savoy Hotel. Miss Kearney has a number of friends in London whom she is visiting during her sojourn in the metropolis. &5 Godfrey Eacret of San Francisco is in London and is being entertained at the Cecil Helel . e = Mr. and Mrs. John P. Young, also of San Francisco, have arrived in Lon- don and are s ving at the same hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Young will probably re- main in London for the rest of the season. . s Miss E. M. Warren of San Francisco and Miss Dolbeer of the same city have arrived in London and are stay- ing at the Carlton Hotel. After re- maining for some little time in the metropolis these friends have planned to proceed to Paris and to other cities on the Continent. . o+ = Among other San Francisco visitors staying at the Carlton Hotel, London, are W. H. Lowden and his son and J. B. Levison. L S John E. Dunning of Portland, Or., has arrived in London and is staying at the Cecil Hotel. i Invitations are out for the wedding of Miss Ersilla, the lovely daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Sartori of San Ra- tael, and Alfred Enrico Sbarboro. The ceremony will be celebrated in St. Raphael’'s Church on Saturday, June 11, at 8 p. m., a reception to follow at the home of the bride. Both young people are widely known in society on both sides of the bay, where their families are identified with the up- building of the community. P R Mrs. Wellington and the George Booles are in Ross for the summer. Young Mrs. Boole, who was Miss Hamlet, daughter of Captain Hamlet of the United States navy, is a charm- ing young matron. As winsome Miss Hamlet she had swains galore at her feet until Mr. Boole was fortunate enough to carry off the prize last spring. A 9t . Mrs. William Babcock has returned to San Rafael after a short visit to the Del Monte. 4 . e e EBarly June will see the Sonntags at the Hotel Rafael, where, as is their custom, they will spend the summer. Miss Edith Sonntag, who, by the way, has developed marvelously in the last year, has been attending school in the East. G B The L. L. Bakers are summering at the Hotel Rafael—horses. ponies. carts’and all . . The Fred Beavers of San Francisco are spending a few weeks in San Ra- fael. They will occupy the W. J. Casey place during the aQum-e of the Caseys in the Fast. Mrs. Casey and Mrs. Beaver are sisters, a third sister being. Mrs. Frank Madison, who has recently taken up her residence in San Rafael. Cah N Speculation, which was rife, has now become a certainty. The date of the MacIntosh-Menzies wedding has been set for the early part of July. It was thought that it would take place In the autumn, after the return of the Mac- Intosh family from their Eastern visit. But the longing to be married in the old home prevailed, and the wedding will take place on the 7th of July at the summer home in -the Adirondacks, where the MacTntoshes have spent so many summers. They left several weeks ago for the East, to be jolned soon by Mr. Menzies. The Angellotti place in San Rafael has been leased for the young couple. And an ideal place it is for a honeymoon, nestled away In the midst of its vines and roses. . e b Mrs. F. M. Angellotti and her daugh- ter, Yfiss Marign, will leave about the middle of June for an extended Euro- pean trip. ie A Mrs. Walter Hobart is spending a few quiet weeks at h srandmother’s charming old place in San Rafael. Her sister, Mrs. Lilly, who has been in San Rafael since early spring, expects to leave goon for a visit to Santa Bar- bara. Undoubtedly Mrs. L of the best dressed women in § fael, as well as one of the most at- tractive. & e Santa Barbara seems to be vying with time-honored Monterey in popu- larity. Among the throng of visitors to the beautiful old southern mission town are the Charles Harleys, have been spending a short t before taking possession of their sum- mer quarters in San Rafael. Mrs. George D. Boyd has recoversd from an injury to her foot and is about San Rafael once more. Mrs. Boyd one of the women who is much miss when she is obliged to withdraw her friends. And the same simple charm of manner which characterizes Dr. Scott’s daughters and grand- daughters is hers to a marked degree. - il from Among those who enjoy San Rafael most thoroughly every summer are the Ortmans of San Francisco and their daughter, Mrs. Sullivan. This season they are in the attractive, roomy Du- bois place, on Fifth avenue, where they summered two years ago. . e le The W. B. Bradfords of San Rafael have gone for the summer. They ex- pect to visit St. Lout PR Mrs. Thomas Menzies and family are among the June departures from San Rafael. They have taken a place in Bolinas for the summer. The Menzies’ beautiful San Rafael home will be oc- cupled through the summer months b the Livingston Jenks of San Francis The Downey Farveys have returned from their Continental trip, and after a few days will go down to their Menlo hcme. The Misses Genevieve have had a delightful and Anita year in Paris, imbibing much of the atmosphere of the boulevard and atelier. It is a safe prediction that the girls will be trilumphant in their debutante year— next year, I believe. . o+ e Time was when a discussion of - ness in soclety was considered a vul- garism—not to say a bit of boorish- ness. Who of us care a straw wheth- er the stomach or liver, or—well, I might go further, if I cared to quote from conversations of some appar- ently well-bred people—do or do not fulfill their allotment of duty? It's distinctly vulgar, stupid, and depress- ing. Then let us try to frown it down. Besides, it encourages the hypochon- driac to live on—just to talk over his woes. That ple ire denied him, would die outright—and the world would be well rid of him, as of all croakers. . Was ever a time like this for wound- ed hearts, whose lacerations are laid bare to a gaping world? In almost every city of consequence in the tion some society man is wrapped in the toils of a breach of promise sult Iy most cases the man is old—old enough to know better, and the maid is young —seemingly too young to be skilled in the fine art of blackmail. But herein is a phase of the women who sue— they who find baim in gold. They are commonly of one type—that of the adventuress. If, as no doubt some- times happens. a maidenly maid is not to be found at the bar of justice, seeking to even scores with her recreant Far be it from her to proclaim te the world the evidences of her lost love. That her affair—and the world never hears of it from her —_—————————— LONDON WOMEN MAY NOW PLAY BRIDGE ALL NIGHT forsaken, she lover. is Craze Has Extended So Far That a Select Club Has Been Established. LONDON, June 4.—The bridge eraze, which is—-worse than ever in London soclety, is causing no end of money troubles, especially among the women. It interferes with the operas, with the theaters, with motoring. in fact, with all other pastimes and recrea- tions. It is played by women all the after- noon and evening in private houses and now, not satisfied with the f ities for gambling, a new and very se- lect club called the New Almacks has been opened at Willis' rooms, where they can play all day and night if so disposed. ———————— Pretty Women in Living Pictures. LONDON, June 4.—Living pictures of beautiful women are to be seen at the Imperial Theater on June 6, the ex hibition being in aid of the East End settlement. Lady Henry Somerset, who is deeply concerned as to the su cess of the undertaking, 1s arrangi two pictures In which many pretty children will take part. B e — flering from Gnats. LONDON, June 4.—From mapy parts of the country come reports of the ap- peararnce of swarms of midges, gnats and so-called “mosquitoes,” which are merely gnats under another name. In some of the northern suburbs of Lon- don outdoor life is a penalty owing te these insects. This plague is a direct consequence of the incessamt wet weather of last year, eil- ® T
