The Hellman home became a minia- for the festive affair of hursday.

That's the place to find one's friends. be night brought forth the party frock—the Presidio hop And the hosts were the cav- and artillery officers—charming chaps and splendid hosts. The hop room was gay with the stars and stripes, a fitting background for the uniformed sons of Mars, who were entertaining for the last time for some weeks, as many organizations will soon leave for maneuvers. Tuesday dainty was on. alry g Ly Among those -+ sent were: Major and Mrs. Van Vliet, Mrs. A. H. Voor- hies, Mrs. Coulson, Miss Katherine Wright, Captain and Mrs. Christian, Major Ruthers, Captain and Mrs. Gar ratt, Captain and Mrs. Robert Aber- nathy, Captain and Mrs. Schreffels, Miss Isabel Kendall, Captain and Mrs. Thomas Pearce, Miss Ursula Stone, Miss Downing, Miss Bonnie Downing, Miss Lucretia Burnham, Miss Jane Swiegert, Miss Pearl Sabin, Miss Irene Sabin, Miss Morris, Miss Jeanette Deal, Lieutenant Talbot, Lieutenant Wil- liams, Leslie Harkness, Philip Paschel, Dr. Swasey, Lieutenant Leavitt, Lieu- tenant and Mrs. Newton, Lieutenant Brigham, Lieutenant Carrigan, Miss Anna Sperry, Mr. Henderson, Walter Ross, Professor Landfield, Dr. Lyster, Captain Frederick Johnston, Dr. Ed- gar M. Spencer, Mr. Lacey and many others, Following the dance, several suppers were on the cards, the largest being that given by Captain Johnston, the debonair favorite of Mrs. Eleanor Martin. Among the gallant captain’s guests were: Mrs. Voorhies, Mrs. Coul- son, s Katherine Wright, Captain and Mrs. Pearce, Miss Darragh, Miss Ursula Stone, Miss Isabel Kendall, Miss Jeannette Deal, Miss Pearl Sabin, Mies Irene Sabin, Mr. Landfield, Les- lie Harkness, Mr. Henderson, Philip Paschel, Mr. Spencer, Mr. Lacey and Walter Ross. Among the pretty maids who danced at the hop on Tdesday was Miss Katherine Wright, daughter of Governor Wright of Manila, who with her aunt, Mrs. Coulson, is visiting Mrs. Alfred Hunter Voorhies. - Tall, finely formed, overflowing with girl- ish vivacity ana interested in every de- tail of life, she is having a merry time. After a short visit at the home on California street, where, by the way, the hospitality of the South has invaded every nook and cranny, Miss Wright will sail for her island home. Since the appeintment of her father to the Governorship she has been at school in New York and the coming winter will be her first season at the palace. As a debutante she will be a famous success, possessing the two necessary elements that make for {t— a clever personality of her own and a mother who is herself a successful hostess. Now, those who remember Admiral Semmes, the gallant old Southerner, who commanded the Ala- bama, will recall his two beautiful daughters—they who are now Mrs. Coulson and Mrs. Wrighg . e s BT R e —_— As in all Southern households, the daughters were reared in an atmos- phere of hospitality, and the art of hostess was imbibed, rather than ac- quired. And thus is Mrs. Wright & fitting mistress of the palace, to which the army and navy men in the Isle of Palms gravitate, always assured of a cheery welcome. Miss Voorhies held a merry court in the palace for nearly a year—and what sighs followed her over the ocean! o7 len ke The navy is never outdone by the army in hospitality. 1. the officers at the Presidio had a merry dance, why, so did the officers at the Mare Island Navy Yard. Among those who danced ‘at Friday night's affair were Mr. and Mrs. C. B. T. Moore, Miss Frances Moore, Lieu- tenant Commander and Mrs. Theodore C. Fenton, Chaplain and Mrs. A. A. McAllister, the Misses Williams, Naval Constructor and Mrs. F. B. Zahm, Miss Courtney Collins of New York, Lieu- tenant Alexander N. Mitchell of the United States receiving ship Independ- ence, and Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs, B. F. Til- ley, Mrs. Mary Turner, Mrs. James H. Glennon, Miss Isabel Glennon, Mrs. R. M. Cutts, Mrs. D. P. Hall of Vallejo, Miss Bimons, Miss Helen Simons, Miss Frances Wagoner, Miss Marian ‘Brooks of San Francisco, Miss Ruth Brooks of San Francisco, Miss Marie English of Vallejo, Miss Caroline McDougal, Cap- tain Jay W.

Where was Vanderbilt pere? is asked abroad. “A new wife” say the knowing ones. . s So Jimmie Coleman has sailed away in his trusty yacht, the Aggie! On board are some rare good spirits (cor- poreal spirits), Charlie Dickman, Charles Rollo Peters and Harry Stuart Fonds. They are cruising leisurely along the coast, bound for Southern California and Mexlico—that is if the gallant skip- per doesn't lose his bearings. All of which calls to mind a eruise of the Ag- gie a few years ago that will live long in the memories of the unwilling voy- agers—likewise of their relatives, who were beginning to frame up suitable garb for mourning, And it ail came about most innocently. A ball was to be given at the Hotel Ramona at® San Luis Obispo, and a merry band of men and maids, dis- creetly chaperoned, went” down from Paso Rcbles Springs to attend it, in- tending to return the following morn- ing. 4 After the music had died away and the blossoms had withered, and the ’ 3 dancers had said adieu, Mr. Coleman invited the / chaperone, an estimable Young matron, to take the party down to Port Harford and go. for a little cruise about in the channel. The “‘ayes” had it, and they went. Well, the tides didn’t behave nicely, the steering gear got out of focus, or something went askew, and amid laughter and merrymaking the yacht drifted out upon the ocean. Vhen the dizco---v was—- made the - laughter ceased for a time, but courage rose in the breasts of the amateur seamen and the fun went on. So did the yacht. Well, the morning dawned, the day 8:>W apace and night cz ue on—still they were no nearer landing. The skip- per, however, kept her near the coast in the hope of being picked up. By this time the humor of the sit- t “ion became a thin visior- - cold night air was penetrating through the summer gowns of the girls, most of whom had fallen victims to mal de mer, provisions were beginning to look like half rations and even the men had a hard time looking pleasant. Like the ancient mariner-they drift- ed on a painted ocean for three days, when they finally landed through the surf at Cojo Rancho, then belon&ing to that fine old Californian, General Murphy of Santa Margarita, who, by the wuy, was one of the party. In tell- ing the tale the old raeonteur used to acknowledge offering the whole of Cojo ranch to any man on board who v-ould shoot him as he lay on deck for those three days in the agopnies of mal de mer. After landing the party found a cabin near the beach belonging te some Por- tuguese fishermen, who vacated it in favor of the bedraggled band and hur- ricd away io telegraph to the hotel at Paso Robles that the party was safe and sound. / Atter some hot coffee and a little rest the band of mariners started home- ward. riding some twenty miles to get the raia to Paso Robles B Those who saw them arrive will never forget the sight, but in the shouts of laughter that greeted the party there were tears glistening in the eves of frisnds who had waited long for tid- ings—but they were tears of gratitude. But ali this is ancient history! Still, it is talked of yet, with many a laugh, by those who drifted about on the blue ocean those three long days. What a disheveled lot they were, men and maids, alike! .« . e California’s fair daughters attract a vast amount of attention in the East. Among the most admired is Miss Hildegard - McKenna, who left here very soon after coming out; she has developed into a splenc.... type of womanhood, typical of the West.
