And her sister, Pau- line—quite as fair as the bride—will serve as maid of honor, while Miss Natalie Fore, Miss Chrissie Taft, Miss Gertruge Allen, Miss Ethel Valentine, Miss Grace Baldwin and Miss Edith Gaskill will precede the bride. Several hundred cards have been sent out for the ceremony, which will be followed by a reception at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Fore, on Franklin street, to which about 150 guests will be invited. Of course, the wedding of Miss Kath- erine May Dillon is quite the towering event of November, following closely on the marriage of lovely Miss Russell and Clement Tobin, which is set for the 20th of this month. £l .

The golf links 'at Del Monte are covered with the prettiest kind of carpet, much to the delight of the golf cranks, who never leave it save at meal times. . o+ .'Tis whispered that an oil company is about to plant its ugly foot right on the lovely shores of Monterey, just where the artists love to roam. And not far, by the way, from where the “Hacienda” stands on the wave-washed Liuff. That won’t be pleasant news for the Murrays, who have bought the place for a home.
