THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SU VDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1904. Euch & bewild@ering crop of brides! In the teeth of the Meredith Not a whit frustrated are the 1ny malds over the paretic proph- v. The ten-year tenure of office as official wife holds no terrors for them tis only for such as are not in love. Ah! Therein lies the beauty of hope, and love without hope is like a bird vounded in the wing. It falls to earth matter—ever set & sea, but type of love that ever—in spite of ki papers, and the tmpoesible unlathered cheek 3ut the beautifml hope that fltum- fnetes Jove is of A4lvine Dirth, else why would hosts rush in where thous- rugeling t6 get out? But where sense and senti- nt engage each other. We who are of mellow heart—with love is life, end without love & partnership is an abhorrent g the physi- take little And 1 ter— 4 and re- soul cries out for ne friends of old, ne throb of hestra, the ri These ere the ns fair, but I rs eternally nt tale f our trou- October brides, wealth, hap- O, for the busy season, when n the desk of the Jut "twill come ovember.

Miss Ellie Ewing, hostess at a lunch- eon given in honor of Miss Marie Claire Adam, a bride-to-be. s ie e Sunday afternoon “at homes” are be- comipg a feature of San Francisco so- cial life. And thrice welcome! How many men and women there are who find the Sabbath hanging heavily on their hands—after church, to be sure, since our burg is primarily a church- going city—as compared with Paris, Among those who bade their friends be merry for a few brief hours last Sunday afternoon were Mrs. George G. Carr and Mrs. Willam Harrison Mills, both of whom are charming host- esses. 'Tis said of these affairs that the art of conversation receives some encour- agement—and therefore let us hope the art is not dead, but sleeping. That was an unpretty thing of de- bonair Tom Driscoll to do—to go off to Santa Barbara in a most matter-of- fact manner, and straightway fall in love. But those knowing the pretty maiden absolve him from all blame, so what's the use in sighing, maidens fair. 'Tis dia! But, apropos to the maid before whom the polo-player threw up his hands, she is young, very young—never having been formally introduced— pretty, chie, and with the archness that made her mother—a Stoughton— a famous belle in Washington’s smart set. The Bacons, who are army people, and the Driscolls are on a very friendly footing, of the same religious belief, and are famously congenial. These are excellent omens of matrimonial suc- cess. All old Nevadans remember ‘well the Driscolls, who, In the glad days of the Comstock, acquired an immense for- —";ABEMCHI HOTOoO & tune—which they have since been en- Joying judiciously. e e Poor Harry Oelrichs! What a ca- lamity it would be if his handsome nose should be disjointed by reason of equine diaboligalism. It is said that his mount entertained a distinctive dislike for Broadway, which the scion of the Oelrichs clan de- sired to penetrate. Result, a wrenched wrist, a wrenched nose, and a wrenched reputation as a horseman. eu e e And James Brown Potter has bought another golden circlet—and for another Southern maid, Miss Handy. When the irresistible Cora Urquhart was his bride, young Potter made an ideal lover-husband, enveloping her with a rose-tinted honeymoon in a gilded cage. But it didn’t last. Mrs. Potter held that the Potter purse was shy of change and Mr. Pot- ter held that he had a grievance against “’Ostler Joe.” Bishop Potter, to make matters worse, supported his nephew’s views that no Potter should wear the buskin and the Potters kissed good-by. That was in London long ago. Meanwhile the Potters have not met. And now James Potter finds it in his heart to love again. e . On Wednesday night Miss Katherine Selfridge returned to her home town after wandering for a year over the ‘East and the Continent. A trousseau? Quite likely. Whenever a maiden mort- gaged of heart goes abroad she’s not apt to return without some Parisian things in her grip. Just why Parisian things are of more value, however, than local productions, I'm unable to fathom—lest it be an exemplification of the old adage—“A prophet is not ‘without honor, save in his own coun- try.” Pretty Miss Beifridge will be wedded to Lieutenant Frederick Kellond, U. S. A., before the coming of November. e e Another maid that will promise to love, honor and respect—no more “obey” for the American maid of the twentieth century—is Miss Laura San- chez Scott, who, on October 23, will become Mrs. Frederick Lewin. o 7~ 158 T AURA CSANTHEZ CICOTT <hae THORS PXoTA Tha wedding will be a quiet affair, taking place in Trinity chapel. A handsome pair are Miss Scott and her British fiance. iy i On‘Tuesday, Miss Laura Lee McDon- ald, niece of Captain James McDon- ald, will become the bride of James C. Sims, a clever chap, who knows his law and a few other things—notably his judgment of pretty women as dem- onstrated in his selection of a bride. The wedding will be a home affair and only relatives are bidden to be present. el Sk On Thursday next Miss Edith Mau will be hostess at a luncheon at her home on Sutter street, to which ten maids have been bidden. «, g On the same date Miss Etelka Wil- Har will entertain at an informal luncheon at her Sausalito home. What a social burg the little hillside village has come to be! And over its hills and dales some mystic spell is cast, for a week’s stay anywhere with- in its confines means an attack of un- dying affection for somebody. If you doubt it, behold the fatigue of the overworked license man over the bay. He'll tell you. - ol . Yesterday Miss Mabel Wheaton sailed away with, the Miltons. With the impetuous longing becom- ing to lovers Conrad P. Hath- away awaits his bride, to whom he will be wedded at the hour of meeting. Happy Miss Wheaton! Happy young Hathaway! . . Forsooth, “Dick™ Hotaling has re- turned—and alone—that is, accompan- ied only by John Housman. Ah! tab- bies, what think you after all your prognostications? APy Next Saturday Miss Helen de Young will break a bottle of good California wine on the prow of the Intrepid at Mare Island. A goodly party goes up to see the ship baptized, an incidental function following. . Go hatless! 'Tis distinctly good form to wear your hat in your hand. Be- sides being hygienic, it's economical. During the last few warm nights the streets surrounding the Palace were dotted with men and women hatless— Easterners, of course. But the custom is not an unpretty one—unless the actors be scant of locks. & e ve Baron Koller of Vienna is spending a few days at Del Monte, where the autumn days are adorable. & [ Among the guests at Del Monte dur« ing the week were Francis D. Pollak, Charles -Schwab, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Czopaki, with their daughter, from Berlin. . . . Gertrude Atherton is coming to us once more. It is sald she intends fin- ishing her “Rulers of Kings” in her own old home. If she does come, .her presence will quicken society considerably, al- though when here before she went out rather little. Perhaps the Ebell affair of her last visit may prompt her to go even less. Of course, it's an open secret that many old Californians have rather cold love for the brilliant writer, because of her seemingly traitorous treatment of people and things Californian—her ADaughter of the Vine” (originally named “The Randolphs of the Red- woods”) being their especial execra- e - - - The imposing new residence of My, and Mrs. John D. Spreckels Jr. at Pa- cific and Laguna streets is not nearly ready for occupancy and they are m comfortably situated In a pretty hous on Broadway, where they will reside until the completion of their own home. R et Mrs. Ynez Shorb White and Miss Gwin left for St. Louis last Thursday Mrs. White expects to return soon. Miss Gwin will remain Bast indef- nitely. By Mrs. Frederick Kohl will entertain extensively this winter, having taken the Buekley home on Pacific avenue. & e Miss Irene Muzzy, who is studying in Lucerne, Switzerland, has Just re- turned to her school after a summer vacation through Germany. Miss Muzzy will not turn her face home- ward when her Buropean education is complete, but, accompanied by her mother, she will visit Egypt later in the year. &P Miss Virgina Joliffe, Mra. Brooks and James D. Phelan all arrived this morn- ing from the East. Mrs. Brooke re- sides in London and has come to visit her parents here for the winter. T 9. Am Miss Jennie Blair is contemplating @ short visit to the exposition. Her absence from the first affairs of the Season will be very regrettabie, for she always in society’s demand. - ¢n.g Mr. and Mrs. Truxtun Beale are still undecided as to their movements for the winter and California may not see them. They have extensively toured Canada during the summer and are at present in Washington, D. C., where Miss Marle Wells will visit if Mr. and Mrs. Beale decide to remain there for the season. Dr. and Mrs. Redmond Payne have taken apariments at El Drisco. They, too, are about to build a home for themselves, but for the present are vis- iting Mrs. Payne’s mother, Mrs. John L Sabin. Dr. and Mrs. Payne have a summer home at Mountain Viey, which they have just closed. U il Mr. and Mrs. Philip T. Clay are set- tled for the winter on Steiner street, near their relatives, the Ferdinand Stephensens. Mrs. Clay was Miss Ed- na Barry of Oakland and is one of this summer’s brides. i Captain and Mrs. Charles Lyman Bent are having a most delighttul time at the St. Louls exposition. Dur- ing the week In which Arkansas was the principal feature Captain and Mrs. Bent were participants tn the cere- monies. D% iy Mr. and Mrs. Lester Herrick have de- ferred their visit to St. Louts. o i Marshall Giselman, who has won musical honors galore abroad, is abeut to join his mother in New York, where she is awaiting his arrivad to accom- pany him back to this city.
