The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, August 28, 1904, Page 20

THE SI\ FRANCISCO CALL SUNDAY, AUGUST 28 Weddings make the m world; sometimes a discordant note is struck, but, generally speaking, it is nusic with gladness and harmony in it. Sometimes a glistening tear is seen at the nuptial feast, even as when a ten- ballad is sung. But that tear is a tal of joy—not grief—for the line twixt joy and pain is thin and misty.

There was Mrs. Albert Gerberding’s tea—an informal affair at her apartments at the San Carlos on Pacific avenue—in honor of Mrs. James Cunningham; and Allan St. John Bowie's dinner at his Jackson-street heme in honor of Miss Ellinwood and Robert P. Greer. At this charming af- fair the following guests toasted the health, happiness and prosperity of the pair and, undoubtedly, of each other— for the guests were good friends and true. And what stronger bond could bind them? “Wedlock?" Hardl I ave yet to see a marriage reach mel- low maturity that was not founded on just that quality—friendship. The s who made merry were Miss inwood, Mrs. Bowie Dietrick, Miss Katheri Dillon, Miss Leontine Blakeman, Miss Minnie Nash, Miss Helen Bowie, Robert P.

C., joining her husband aboard his ship at Mare Island. She is accom- panied by her daughter, Miss Marjorie Bull, and Miss Williamson, daughter of Chief Engineer Willilamson, the whole party remaining aboard while in port Mrs. James H It will look like vacation in the fash- ionable churches this morning, as everybody in the teiephone book is down at Del Monte at the “gymkhana” —in English the auto meet. Miss Ethel Hager went down to San Mateo Wednesday, as did Miss Grace Spreckele and others, making the run down on Thursday from that burg. The Buckbees, the Hobarts, Mrs. Sa- bin, the Misses Sabin, Mrs. A. H. Voor- hies, Miss Malcolm Henry, Miss King, Miss Voorhies and loads of others went down Thursday, but quite a number reached the hotel on the Friday morn- \ ing “limited,” quite in time to see the most interesting tests. Wasn’t that quite like Captain Fran- cis K. Winn to do the right thing at the right time? When? Why, when Gov- ernor Pardee was scheduled to go to A adero and was to be met at the station with the composite glad hand of the armed forces @f California, there wasn’t a brass-buttoned soul to meet him, either at Paso Robles, where he hopped off expectantly and momenta- rily, nor at Atascadero. Now, here was a pretty situation. As the train drew up to the station with the gubernatorial party aboard the Governor looked out eagerly to feast his eyes on the splendor of armed forces, of which he was commander-in- chief—but alas! there wasn’'t a brass button in sight. Undaunted, the Governor hopped off, stepped into the temporary station and called up the camp. That was when Captain Winn won distinction. Jumping into an auto belonging to the Signal Service men, he whisked away down the road at a lightning clip, made his apologies to the chief execu- tive and bore the party into camp ex- ultant. And all this while his brother officers were skirmishing around the dusty countryside to get a line on the Governor’s arrival—the hour of which seemed to be known only to that gen- tleman himself and the engineer who drove the special. But through Captain Winn's celerity and tact the day was saved. Brevetted for it? Not vet. But men have been known to be brevetted for less. e B Rancho was never better than now, and the Isaak Waltons from Del Monte are enjoying many a tough tussle with the speckled beauties. W o Like many other interesting people, Mrs. Louis Glass and her daughter, Miss Frankie, have spent much of the summer in town, taking short jaunts away when the country calls. Mrs. Glass and Miss Glass are | aous swimmers, and during their lasu visit to Santa Cruz made some rather re- markable records. SRR Dr. and Mrs. Cooper, who have been spending some time at Blythedale, have returned to San Francisco. Mrs. Cooper, until a few months ago was Ella Goodall, one of the most popular of Oakland’s maidens fair. PR Y The Albert Dibblees of Ross have been entertaining Mr. and Mrs. Robert Coleman of San Francisco. PR e The George C. Boardmans are still in San Rafael, where they keep open house for their children and children- in-law. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Board man have been spending several days with them. Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Clark have been in strict attendance on the polo games at Santa Barbara, Mr. Clark playing occasionally with the reds. Dick, Joe and Cyril Tobin put up good games, putting the southerners to rout in some closely cintested games. Tom Driscoll also distinguished him- self in the swift sport, seeming to have buried in the past the memory of the near fatal fall sustained last spring while contesting for a ball from his pony’s back. a8 Mre. Thomas Magee Sr, left for Eng- land last week to visit her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Denis O’Sullivan. o st Mrs. Mayo Newhall and Miss Marian The trout fishing at the Los Laureles Newhall will leave about September 1 summer, for New York, where Miss Marian will be placed at school. et Thrice lucky is the man who has won the love of charming Gertrude Eells. Not in all the wide State is there a more winning maid than she—winning in her naturalness, her disposition and her charm of manner. Something of the dignity and charm of both sides of her family seem to have descended to- her from the Eells and Shepherds. In the early days of Oakland there was no one more beloved than Miss Eells' handsome grandfather, Dr. James Eells. And the Shepherds were, and still are, representatives of Oak- land's most conservative society. Ross Valley claims Miss Eells through the San Francisco through the winter. Lieutenant Babcock, her fiance, is receiving loads of good wishes these days, and fine fellow he is, well worthy of his bride. &\ R On Monday afternoon Mrs. Willlam Lindsley Spencer entertained at cards at her Vallejo-street home in honor of her sister, ‘Mrs. Edwin C. Ewell, who is starting out on a world-tour. Among the guests who played were Mrs.;Ewell, Mrs. Samuel Buckbee, Mrs. Henry Foster Dutton, Mrs. Elizabeth Cole, Miss Nina Gordon, Mrs. Pedro Wessell, Miss Grace Buckley, Mrs. Thomas Benton Darragh, Mrs. William F. Perkins, iss Isabel Kendall, Mrs. Edward Houghton and Mrs. Frederick McLeod Fenwick. Mr. and Mrs. Spencer entertained at dinnter Monday evening, when their guests were: Mrs. Ewell, Mrs. Pedro Wessell, Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Dut- ton, Dr. and Mrs. Frank P. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Farr and Mrs. Peter Dunn. There are those who say that Mrs. Sam Buckbee should be ruled out of amateur games—or the . ‘“boobies” be given the benefit of handicaps. When she really tries to put up a good game there are few women—even men—who can ,beat her.

The atmosphere is already charged with suggestions of the garden fete to be given for the Presbyterian Orphanage at Tamalpais, Mrs. B. A. 3 Kent's beautiful home at Kentfleld. This is to be held next month, when the air will still be balmy and sweet, the country holding the charm which comes with the turning of the leaves and the ripening of the fruit. o e Paul A.

E. Wellington is among the many, both in San Rafael and Ross, who add to their own enjoyment of the summer by entertaining often. Mrs. Wellington’s stunning tally-ho, with its merry load, is well known on the country roads and-in San Rafael.

They expect to return to the north by way of Santa Barbara, where they will stop over for a day or two. The Martin clan has much busi- ness to transact semi-annually, partic- ularly so now, as a pretty lively win- ter is on the tapis and the demands on the family funds will be rather heavy. : e Miss Alice Greer Caldwell, one of the fairest maids of Cloverdale, is yet an- other just wooed and won.

B — Camera to Stop Scorching. PARIS, Aug —Police Prefect Le- plne is preparing to put in operation an ingenious apparatus intended to put a stop to the “scorching” of automo- biles along the Champs Elysees. He is planning to fix cameras on pivots at certain points along the street. They will be so arranged that when a ma- chine whizzes past the point they will set in motion chronographs. The ap- paratus includes an arrangement by which the chronographs will stop at a certain given distance. Bv this means the prefect expects to furnish unerring evidence of speed violations. —_————— Names in House of Commons.
