S A More weddings! An interesting cer- emony of next month will be that of Miss Louise Bundschu and Maury Simms, to be celebrated the evening of September 9 at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bundschu at 245 Chestnut street. The Rev. Bradford Leavitt of the First Unitarian Chyrch will be the officiating clergyman. Miss Alma Bundschu, the 'bride’s sister, will be the maid of honor, and her other attendants will be Mrs. A. BE. C. Dohrmann and Miss Anita Hinz. Benjamin Weed is to be best man. B On September 8 Miss Elva Shay will be wed to Stephen Tripp. The ceremony is to be performed at the bride’s home. Miss Blanche Cro- nan of Sacramento will serve as maid of honor, with Miss Hazel Shay and Miss Genevieve Shankland as brides- maids. Messrs. Frank and Clarence Shay lead the gay pageant to the altar rail. S S Afar in the Orient Miss Mabel Wheaton will become the bride of Conrad P. Hathaway. The ceremony will be performed soon after the transport touches at the 1sle of Palms. Ry e The Benjamin Gunns of San Fran- cisco have taken the Donohue place in San Rafael for several months. ot B g The Waiter Hobarts have left San Rafael, where they have been spend- ing the summer, and have returned to San Mateo.

And such a winsome bride. Lucky Mr. Greer! And likewise lucky maid! 'Tis many moons since so radiant a picture was seen as the bridal party seated about the nuptial pair. have gone on to St. stral home of his fag- Likewise was the Carrigan-Sperry wedding a pretty affair—over on the brown-green hillside of Sausalito. The bride, always fair to look upon, was never so pretty as in her nuptial robe of chiffon cloth and honiton lace. And likewise were her attendants fair—Mrs. John Burke Murphy and Miss Mary Langhorne, Yosemite is the scene of their hon- eymoon. Where could more lovely getting be found for love’'s young story? & ol The Misses Mabel and Gertrude Thayer, daughters of C. A. Thayer of San Rafael, sailed on the 27th of Au- gust for the Hawaiian Islands. They will have a delightful trip, as they are fortunate enough to number among their friends residents of several of the islands. . . . Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Sutro, formerly Miss Mary O’Sullivan, returned Wed- nesday from their wedding journey, which was to have extended to the Great Lakes and New York, but so charmed were they with Banff that they remained there during the en- tire four weeks of their absence. They will soon go to their home on Broad- way. . . . Mrs. Eleanor Martin, who has spent the past two or three weeks in the southern part of the State, has re- turned to San Francisco. Mrs. Mar- tin’s stay in the south was, as usual, delightful, as she was extensively en- tertained by her friends in Los An- geles. ‘What a rebuke Mrs. Martin is to lazy young people. Ever ready for a gcod time, she has thus found the fount of eternal youth. . » . Mr. and Mrs. William M. Gwin, who are at present visiting Mrs. Gwin's mother, Mrs. Maynard, at her thome on Fillmore street, expect to leave for the East the early part of October. They will first visit relatives in New Orleans and from there will go to New York, where they will spend the winter: Miss Gwin, after taking in the fair, will join them there, . - . ‘When Mrs. Clarence Martin Mann was touring the Continent she met, among other distinguished people, Sir Lewis McIvor. With her chatty West- ern manner she attracted the astute old statesman, who showed Mr. Mann and his bonny wife many delightful attentions, which included a visit in the House and tea with the law- makers. As a token of appreciation Mrs. Mann has prepared one of thé most beautiful albums ever made in Call- fornia, inclosing views of the famous beautiful scenes in the State, inclosed between exquisitely carved redwood covers, polished to look like ivory— all save the color. Such a’gift as this is really worth while. Being beautiful in itself, it carries with it a fine vhase of patriot- * ~ | THREE SOCIETY GIRLS RECENTLY BETROTHED. | l, miilh \ ism. But love of California is inborn in her women even as in her men. . . . General and Mrs. Willlam Montrose Graham sailed Thursday for Manila, where they will spend a month as the guests of their son, Lieutenant W. M. Graham Jr.,, U. 8. A. They were ac- companied by their daughter, Miss Meta Graham, to whom the trip will be doubly a pleasure, as her fiance, Lieutenant Lewis Cass, U. 8. A, is in the same regiment as her brother. - Love strikes some families at the instant—Ilike lightning. - . * The J. A. Bucks are among those who will soon leave their San Rafael summer homes for their winter abodes in San Francisco. The Bucks have one of the most beautiful homes in San Rafael—the old Sidney Smith place. As for their horses, there is probably not a more superb pair in the State than the bays behind which Mrs. Buck is wont to take her after- noon airing. . . . Dr. John A. Murtagh, U. 8. A, sail- ed Thursday on the Thomas. Dr. Murtagh has been on a visit to San Francisco for the past six weeks and it is needless to say that he leaves the city with many sighs.- And 'tis said that the gallant soldier wasn't the only one who sighed at his leave- taking. - . The Willlam Horns have returned to Sausalito from their honeymoon. PR Rumor has it that Ross Valley is to lose Hermann Oelrichs. Mr. Oeirichs has, for the past year, occupied the RASMUSSEN beautiful Boole place in Ross, but we hear that he is soon to leave for the East. A rather pathetic sight is the empty dog-kennel in the Oelrichs barn yard. This kennel, with its deep front porch, its gilded pillars, its glass win- dows, was built for the blue-blooded Dane, which was the joy of Mr. Oel- richs’ heart. But, alas! so the story goes, so lusty and vigorous were the howls of the aristocratic Dane that the people of Ross rose in revolt, and Mr. Oelrichs was obliging enough to deport the blue-blooded canine. Then the peo- ple of Ross had rest. « reice A pleasant five hundred party was that given on Tuesday evening at the Mare Island navy yard by Lieutenant Commander and Mrs. James H. Glen- non. Charles Taussig of Washington, who is spending the summer with his father, Captain E. D. Taussig, aboard the United States receiving ship Inde- pendence, carried off the honors. The other guests present were Captain and Mrs. B. F. Tilley, Captain and Mrs. Franklin J. Drake, Colonel and Mrs. Percival C. Pope, Commander James H. Bull of the naval transport Solace and Mrs. Bull, Niss Williamson, Lieu- tenant and Mrs. Arthur MacArthur Jr., Captain D. P.
