No ennui in that family. Next week will hear themerry tinkling of the floral nuptial bells. On Monday Miss Blanch Marguerite Loughran, formerly of this city but now of San Diego, will become the bride of Charles William Dillingham, the ceremony tak- ing place at the home of the bride in the southern city. N On Wednesday come the Donaldson- Chase wedding and the Adam-Musto nuptials on this side of the bay, and the wedding in Berkeley of Miss Anne Maxwell Miller, daughter of Rear Ad- miral Joseph N.

The attendants upon Miss Donaldson will be Mrs. Nelson Eckart, a sister of the groom, matron of honor, and Miss Alice Treanor, Miss Emma Moffat, Miss Lalla Wenzelburger and Miss Helen Davis, all members of the Kappa Kap- pa Gamma sorority, as bridesmajds— and a gay galaxy they will be in thelr flowered frocks. Miss Marie Claire Adam, a fascinat- ing maid, is to be attended by Mrs, Joseph B. Keenan, sister of the groom. as matron of honor, Miss Stella Harriy as honor maid and Miss Juliet Grasse, Migs Charlotte Jepsen, Miss Genevuve‘ McCormick, Miss Gertrude Freese and Miss Maisie Cook as bridesmaids. The affair will take place in Sacred Heart sk v ) 3 T € — A TRIO OF THE LOCAL SMART SET’S PRETTY MAIDS Church, which will be dresged in nup- tial garb for the holy sacrament. e Since the poor must wed, and, wed- ding, insist upon following to the letter the Rooseveltian theory, many unhap- py exigencies arise, noteworthy the lack of medical care and nursing at a most critical period of both mother’s and babe’s careers. As a matter of fact, there are hundreds of women who have almost no care, and what care they do get from their neighbors is ignorant and unwise. And the poor babies—God help them!—bundled into an already over-. o board and a scant bit of flannel for a Wwardrobe! It is for the humane allevia- tion of such of these unhappy women and children that a coterie of good women organized and opened a mater- nity hospital on Eighth street. Here is a depot of relief. Nurses and medical care are furnished free to the destitute, and a small fee is charged where charity is not needed. Now, all this requires funds. And therefore is it that the board of direct- ;notth‘enholpltllhnmm hundred invitations to a charity card party to be given next Century . : of a large number of patronesses, led by Mrs. Henry Foster Dalton of Wash- ington street, from whom additional de- tails may be gathered and to whom contributions may be sent. The prizes to be offered are high class and all have been donated. Tickets are held at $1. If there be a more humane thing than the work of this new institution I haven't met it. Besides being an ac- tive charity, it teaches the people into whose homes the nurses go how to live cleanly and with some regard for food and sanitation. Success to the card party! & e Two engagements were anncunced within the week that gave the “I-told- you-sos” a famous chance to demon- strate their clairvoyance—that of Miss Marie Voorhies to Captain Haldimand Putnam Young, and Miss Paula Wolll to William Penn Humphreys. T Een Pretty Marie Wells is looking for- ward to a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Trux- tun Beale in Washington, which will away from local gayety for indeed, Mr. Beale's business interests necessitate a trip to California. What a merry time this charming little Western maid would have in Washington! WO Miss Irene Muzzy, a promised de- butante for the winter of 1905, has taken up a finishing course of cultural work in a convent in Lucerne after having made a tour of the world with her mother. i g Fannie Francisca is soon to give a concert in the white and gold ballroom of the St. Francis. This will initiate a musical series that is to follow through the winter season ut this hotel.

The wedding will be a hom affair, with Miss Elsie Dorr and Mrs. Florence Cole attendants upon th bride, and Captain Bradford upon the groom. A handsome bride, to be sure! On the preceding Saturday Miss Isa- belle Hooper and Wigginton C; 1 will be wedded in Alameda.

On the 23d Miss Laura Sanchez Scott will become Mrs. Frederick Lewin. The 26th brings the nuptial day of Miss Charlotte Moulder and Charles Carter Nichols: The wedding will be a home affair. And before the month slips into the past Clement Tobin will have claimed his beautiful fiancee, Miss Charlotte Russell, for his bride. Owing to Mrs. de Sabla's illness the plans for the wedding are somewhat in the air. Dr. George Powers and family have returned to the city after a long sum- mer in San Rafael.

H. Clary gave a tea to Mrs. Charl- ton Shannon Barette. Mrs. Barette was formerly Miss Mabel Clary, about whom is woven the web of romance— so dear to the feminine heart. and of- ten not uninteresting to the sterner sex. In Charleston, 8. C., a year asgo, Miss Clary met Mr. Barette and the mutual attraction was so earnest that without informing their families they married very early in the acquaintance At the present time Mrs. Barette is vis- iting In California witn her relatives and many friends who are lavishing attention upon her in every way.
