FEATURES MAY NOW EXPRESS THE FEELINGS ————— Sally Sharp Declares It Correct to Smile When Pleased. The Frosty Reign of the “Bored Air’ Is Over and Done With. —_— The gods be thanked—the “frappe face” is no longer good form! Mailds and matrons, if you feel a joy in your heart, pray give it rein. If you are thrilled or appalled at the play, at the ces, anywhere, fear not that it is bourgeoise to let year face tell the tale as well as your volce. The day of the “bored air” is gone—and it died by its own hand. Bearing an air of discontent and unsatisfied longing, by the law of sympathetic action, it bred just those bid conditions. And the world knows what morbid broodings bring— so do perve specialists, they who of all medical practitioners are to-day the And the frappe—the frozen played its part in the havoc. ust wh the frozen or the bored expression ame good form is hard to discover, there are those who ve it to be the unique discovery of genius; for all of us know men and who write or paint or compose ss successfully who bear this busiest. € be ne commonplace palled on rits, causing pain—when f fact the pain is all on , this bored air is distinctly i poses ar fety. men are big, either in hievement, no pose is e to emphasize the fact.

The surf is never more alluring than during the months of September and October—hence the crowas on the beach these days. Among those who enjoyed its soft ca- resses last week were Mrs. L. E. Han- che Miss Beatrice Wright, Mr. and A Newton Claypool and the Barl of Fuston and his party—an appreciative band of visitors surely. Hundreds of Knights spent last week vapdering over the preserves of the sig hotel by the sea and sauntering hrough the famous *“Old Town.” And by the way, that was a clever thing that a few good Californians did —to petition the War Department to re- store to Ord Barracks its rightful, be- causc original, name—the Presidio of Monterey, which was ‘the second mil- tary station established in California, in 1770, under Spanish rule. i Saturday evening the members of Stratford Shakespeare Society and a number of others tendered Mrs. North a farewell reception at her home on Pacific avenue. The evening was spent in music and dancing and a witty ad- dress by the genial hostess. Mrs. North leaves next week as delegate to the International Educational Convention, which convenes in Paris in October. After the convention is over she will spend some time traveling in Southern Europe and will return to San Fran- cisco next summer. B The Sequoia Club has assumed the dignity of a householder. Now, that's not a bad showing for a club with a constitution but a few months old. But in California things do grow. 5 Vs .EQA’/}/"G[[“ CHLASS - TABER__ woo e FHOoTO The directors, with , the president, Charles Sedgwick Aiken, have been wise in their age and generation by securing downtown rooms, where the drop-in habit may be sanely cultivated. Ah But will the men—the men that stand for the bone and sinew of the constitution, the women, the flesh and the frills—find the rooms ifvable as their own clubrooms? But away with conjecture! To be sure they will —the right type of men—even as thay have in New York and in Lond And the rooms?

On the 15th will this new home be blessed—Dblessed in the name of good- fellowship. As an experiment in clubdom, the Sequoia possesses a unique interest. Many questions arose when its cour- ageous and clever founder, Miss Ednah Robinson, set out to create it. One was: Are women clubable in the sense that men are clubable? The second: What will be the outcome of such free commingling of men and women on neutral ground? Such rionsense! Of course there are loads of women who possess the companionship spirit—who are big and broad enough to grasp the best in mutual fellowship, which is bound to be of benefit to both men and women. . s . Mr. and Mrs. James Coffin are still at their country place at Ross, but will come to town for the winter and occupy the Cunningham house on Broadway, as they have for several winters past.

A welcome addition to the naval set will pretty Miss Milton be—and what a merry time she will have, unless the climate be hard for her. . s e The tennis tournament in San Ra- fael has lured many over the bay. Miss May Sutton is the lodestar, to be sure, and every novice at the racquet industriously watched her curves. An interesting maid is she, as are her athletic sisters. § AR If maids be not athletic these days then they must go in for some cultural achievement. Miss Lucie King, Miss Edith Simpson, Miss Elizabeth Mills and scores more of smart maidens at- tended the summer school at Berkeley. Some of these are putting the digested thoughts in print—and right worthy is much of their output. gy Am these clever girls is Miss Mkic Glass, deughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Glass, who has penned some very fetching stuff, into which she throws much of her pretty personality. It is sometimes a bar to development for girls well endowed mentally to be born to affluence, Under pressure of “must,” such clever girls as Miss Glass would achieve a name in the world of Inksters. And so 'tis decided that the Friday night dances will materialize as of yore —thanks to the patron saint of the smart set—dear, rotund, happy Ned Greenway. And the dates are set for .November 4, December 23 and March 3 at the Palace. . The first ball will be an assembly, the second a fancy dress and the third is in the air. Now, here's something to gladden the hearts of the dear debu- tante—likewise her elder sisters and aunts—all of whom, at whatever age, have a predilection for Ned Greenway’s -dances. And small wonder, since the dtiniin hsigoalei it ot — water affairs of the last decade in San Francisco. ‘What a to-do California gold causes in the East—aye, and even abroad. Here's Mrs. Oelrichs’ bal blanc the talk of the continent. Now she’s in- stalled into Rosecliffe a splendid organ where, with a harp and a violin, she may while away a few unbusy hours. But that’s a sane pleasure! Then there’s Princess Hatzfeldt over in London, throwing the Huntington dollars broadcast to the birds, enter- taining “dooks” and “dookesses” at the most extrayagant Romanesque feasts —her latest achievement the housing of royalty for a week, when the Duke of Connaught and his Duchess dwelt be- neath the Hatzfeldt roof tree. Now, there’s pretty Mrs. Hugh Tevis, ‘whose personal and financial charm has brought half of Europe to her feet, and ‘who's kept busy shooing off Earls and _Counts.. She managed to escape the love-lariats thrown about her when <o & < 2. STANDISH | =P = o T = over the water, and is now happily lo- cated at Manhasset Manor, Shelter Isl- and. Here with little Hugh, now two years and a half old—a delicate, high- bred little chap—she is for a time at least out of the limelight. - g Apropos of fc n matches, who is there but has sympathy in her heart for poor, heartbroken Natalie Schenk? "Twas blow enough to discover that she had wedded a penniless man, she who had been reared to every luxury, and alas! without means of her own to support it. But on finding him a forger, a ‘“no-funds” tulprit, and an outcast from the British army, that was the full measure of shame and sorrow. It is said that the first expose came in this city, before the spectacular sail- ing of the pair for Honolulu—when it will be remembered that the alleged “captain’ shipped a cow as part of his necessary equipment for comfort. Poor cow! Did she ever get back to her na- tive heath? Then it was that a large part of the wedding gifts had to be sold for passage money, and on their return to this city that the same expedient was resorted to for transportation East. Now, while every one sympathizes with this high-spirited American girl in her misfortune there is much in her case that may save other girls from similar pain. And the primary lesson in it is: Don’'t wed on sight. The secondary lesson is: Don't sail under false colors. If you are heiress to ten thousand, don't give out the impression that the sum is ten mil- lion, because if you do some fortune hunter who knows the same trick may trap you at your own game—then ex- planations, tears and home again. P Over in Marin County stands a great gray stone building, ivy-clad, with beautiful turrets and spires and gables. It's a home for little orphans. Now, there are many mouths fo feed in that gray stone house and many lit- tle bodies to clothe. So on September 17, the home of Mrs. Kent, at Kentfleld —just at the foot of Tamalpais—will be thrown open for a fete champetre, the nickels, dimes and dollars to go into the treasury of that gray stone house. Among the ladies actively in- terested in the work are: Mesdames H. L. King, H. W. Taylor, Charles Hoag, Caldwell and H. H. Dobbin, who will preside at the hand- kerchief booth. Mrs. Church and Mrs. M. Conneil will dispense tea, and Mrs. J. Coughlin, sandwiches and salads. Mrs. H. L. Van Winkle will assume charge of the fancy booth, as will Mrs. D. W. Hosborough and Mrs. Jane L. Martel. Mrs. Robert Dollar and Mrs. John Kech will preside over the fruit booth, and Mrs. John McKay of Ross at a fancy table. A clever arrangement has been made, whereby a luncheon will be served on the lawn for 25c. Thus those who go over for a breath of September air may go over early and stay all day— thereby doing good unto themseives and unto the fatherless little ones. & el Mrs. Latham McMullen’s visit to the high Sierras has brought a fine tone to her cheeks.

Happy little ma e DESCENDANT OF COLUMBUS IS A SOCIETY FAVORITE LONDON, Sept. 10.—Colonel Colomb, the retired officer the Royal Ar- tillery, is well known in London society He is a descendant Columbus, the discov- and also, perhaps, >nd possessed by the opolis. At all ns he is an invited guest; to all ¢ ling ericans he s point- ed out they go to the park to see the world of fashion. But it is not along the Ladies’ Mile the tley seek for Colonel Colomb, nor is he seen rid- ing in the Row, but a little further down toward Kengington Gardens. There every morning, wet or fine, when in town, the colonel may be -een sur- rounded by birds, wi/stling to some, talking to others and feeding them all. Each and every sparrow knows his for two reasons. of Christopher Amerl greatest fi s of the al funct erer of the bir s0¢ name and will perch upon the coloncl's head and shoulders, eat out of his hand and fly far to welcome him on his approach. : So great a lover of birds is Colonel Colomb that the most important of social functions is not allowed to de- prive him of the pleasure of feeding his pets. When he goes away traveling provision is always made for his little pensioners, and once when called away from London suddenly he snserted in the Morning Post an appeal to “bird lovers,” requesting them to ‘“please feed my birds in the park during my unavoidable absence.” At Monte Carlo, which he frequently visits, Colonel Co- lomb is also a figure of prominence, for there he has captured the affections of the flock of pigeons by feeding and petting them. When surrounded by these birds he is an object of great in- terest to amateur photographers, par- ticularly ladies. It is from a collateral branch Christopher Columbus’ family that Colonel Colomb is descended. In ap- pearance he is tall and military look- ing, his light hair just flecked with gray. Although now retired from the army, he is exceedingly energetic. He is esteemed as a fine French scholar and has written an abridged English version in rhyme of Moliere’s “Femmes Savantes.” The family seat of the Colombs is Dromquinna in County Kerry, Ireland. Colonel Colomb is a brother of Sir John Colomb, M. P, a naval officer who is well known as a writer on imperial defense. This great bird lover has many in- teresting little stories to tell about his pets. He declares that soclety has much tc learn from the birds, who, he declares, would never be guilty of tak- ing-any Tom, Dick or Harry into their different sets and becoming so hope- lessly mixed as London society now is. They maintain their little cliques with great dignity, he says.
