S n- Ty The Sbarboro-Musto nuptials were tended by all the elegance of a court vwedding. Few ceremonies have been celebrated in the city with such ex- quisite elaboration. True, the rich gar- dens of Asti gave forth their fairest blossoms for the daughter of the house; the vine clad hills their purpling grapes and twirling tendrils; the canyons their stalwart brakes and fragile ferns. A beautiful bride was this fair Itali- an maid, and fairer than ever was she in her nuptial robes. Long will the vision linger in the memory of the guests who saw her leaving the altar upon the arm of the man she loved. The Selfridge-Kellond wedding was celebrated quietly, with music and fiowers and a few friends as acces- scries to the culmination of a pretty luve affair. ok R The wedding of Miss Rose Newman and Max Blum was quite the biggest affair that has taken place in the Con- cordia Club for many years. The father of the fair bride, Simon Newman, is president of the club and therefore the club delighted to honor the maid. A veritable forest of manzanita had been planted in the broad vestibule and in the corridors of the first and second floors. The wedding bower was a fioral symphony in white and green, in a setting of green—no prettier spot to plight love’'s promise could be conjured up. Both great floors were in floral at- tire, through which 150 guests wander- ed at will. This wedding feast will go down in the club annals as the “fea- ture” of the year. A pretty picture was Angel Island on Tuesday night—a Whistler picture, with its dark shadows and peeping lights rising out of the glistening, shimmery bay. It was hop night on the island and a well laden beat bore a burden of maids and matrons over from this side. A merry time? Why, always, at Angel Island. & Unhappily Captain E. D. Taussig has been detached from the Independence t Mare Island. One of the most pop- men at the island and one of the able of hosts, his depar- t tly to be regretted. It is not known what officer will relieve Captain Taussig, but there is'a rumor in navas ircles to the effect that Commander V. L. Cottman will be the officer named. Mrs. Cottman is a Cal- iforr and both she and Command- er Cottman have many friends on this coast. ol tot w Quite the towering affair of the we was the tea given by Mrs. Charles Stetson Wheeler and Mrs. Wheeler's sister, Miss Marsh. The beautiful new home glad with the bloom of autumn. Blossoms, blossoms everywhere——everywhere save where they were displaced by hats—but were not these as lovely, and with fair faces beneath the ccuse her mnot, ye scoffers, of flat- when Sally. declares there were e pretty women in that crush- yes- terday than she has seen in many, many moons, The following ladies assisted the hostesses: Mrs. Louis F.

R kS On Tuesday, November 1, Mrs. CGeorge Rodman Shreve will entertain at a large bridge party to be given at Century Hall. R The “Saturday Evening” dances at Cotillon Hall will again fill the hearts of the debutantes with joy. Since the Fortnightlies are supposedly defunct the “Saturday Evening” affairs will as- sume a new importance this winter. The dates set are: Saturday, November 19, assembly; Saturday, December 10, german: Saturday, January 21, assem- bly; Saturday, February 18, german; Saturday, April 29, assembly. The pa- tronesses are: Mrs. Louis Findlay Monteagle, Mrs. Wakefield Baker, Mrs. George F. Ashton, Mrs. James Potter Langhorne and Mrs. George Allen Mgore. 3 P Pretty Miss Marjorie Josselyn wui ¥ be formally presented to the smart set on November 6 at a large tea to be given by her mother, Mrs. Charles Josselyn. My! What a ravishing bunch of buds we are to have this year. Not so many as last winter—lucky maifds—and so very chic and pretty, ‘Pis said there's not a “dead ome” ‘Hunter among them. (R o The first call to arms—to bare arms and neck—comes from Ned Greenway, Who 0n the 4th celebrates his birthday fittingly by giving his friends a' famous g00d dinner. And then the dance is on. The Friday Night dances will o'ertop anything social this winter, save per- haps some of the assembly dances. At these functions Mrs. Alfred Voorhies . will still be one of the leading spirits. The others are Mrs. James Potter Langhorne, Mrs. Eleanor Martin, Mrs. Bowman H. Me- Calla, Mrs. William A. MeKittrick, Mrs. Willilam F. Herrin, Mrs. Francis J. Sullivan and Mrs. John D. Spreckels. The date: t are Monday, November 28; Tuesday, December 27, and Monday, February 6. As with the Greenway affairs, these will be held at the old stand—the Pal- ace. . & Next Saturday Miss Charlotte Rus- sell will give her heart and hand to Clement Tcbin, who will thus take unto himself quite the loveliest bride of the winter. Could artist paint fairer maid? Her vellow halo of hair is matchless, like- wise her skin and eyes. And besides, she Is-a past mistress of the art of . dressing. But for that matter, so, too, is her mother, also a handsome woman ~Mrs, E. J. de Sabla. Mise Russell usnally affects light colors, by which she emphasizes her own fair coloring. e e After the dinner the dance will be on in the jinks room, where the young folk will make merry until the wee #ma” hours. e S On the 20th James D. Phelan will be the honored guest at the Bohemian Club jinks. ‘What rare good fun these clever fel- lows have within the walls of their clubrooms! And so zealously do they gudrd their witticisms, one might sus- pect them wicked—if one didn’t know the men. However, a little percolates occasion- ally from the lake of mirth, and that is a welcome bit of wit, because 'tis forbid us. With satiety, perhaps, we wouldp't care a fig. g . . . ‘What debutante has fairer future than pretty Miss Elsa Draper, who will he presented to soolety on ‘Tuesday, the first, at a dinner dance at the Bohe- mign Club? Lucky maid! wivie? e - What & lot the tabby-cats dom't know! They all cried out, not many moons ago, that the Twentieth Century Musical Club would go to pieces on the rocks. Well, it hasn't. And what's more, it held one of the most success- ful concerts of the new season yester- day at Century Hall. And such hats! Really, the milli- ners of this burg are public benefac- tors. They cultivate the taste of the public by their artistry. Bills? Oh. per- baps; but beasts of hats cost money, too. wilel g On November 1 Miss Eisie Postley and Ross Ambler will be married In New York. The ceremony will take place at the Church of the Heavenly Rest at 4 o'clock In the afternoon and will be one of the smart affairs of the winter. A reception will follow at the Postley residence on Fifth avenue. The -wedding is of interest to the San Fran- cisco smart set from the fact that Miss Postley's brother, Sterling Postley, married Miss Ethel Cook of this city. & i The opening of the quail season has sent a lot of the lovers of sport to Del Monte. "Los Laurelles,” the fishing and hunting resort belonging to the ho- tel, is reached by a drive through the beautiful Carmel Valley and coast mountains, where there is a great abundance of game this season. Among the first to take advantage of the good shooting was John Lawson. With him were Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Willlamson. Another hunting party was made up of Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Goodwin and Dr. C. L. Morgan. Mr. and@ Mrs. J. W. P. Howard and son have also gone down to spend a few days fishing and hunting. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dernham have gone down in their auto. They are ac- companied by Miss Hecht and J. Hecht. Among others of note who have been at the Del Monte during the past week are Lord Herbert Vane Tempest; Anthony Drexel, the millionaire banker of Philadelphia; Captain and Mrs. de Chair of the British embassy at Wash- ington, H.-#. McClure, New York, and O. D. Wheeler, a prominent railroad man of St. Paul. T On November 3, Miss Katherine Dil- lon becomes a bride. Her wedding will be an evening affalr, and picturesque Lature in detail, as befits a maid of Miss Dillon’s personality and wealth. Her attendants will be: Miss Caro- iine Fosgate, a winsome little maid of honer; Miss Grace Spreckels, Miss Ethel Moore, Miss Sara Collier and Miss Patricia Cosgreve, the brides- maids. Lucky Lieutenant Winship! And there are those who retort with promptness, thrice lucky maid! e . To Mrs. John D. Sibley are the ladies of the music section of the Cali- fornia Club indebted for a rare day of harmony last week, «nd she will agafh present a high-class programme on Friday, the 28th. e o e Miss Helen Pettigrew has set the date for her wedding to Willlam Lem- on for Wednesday, November 9. It is supposed that the affair will be celebrated in church, as both the maid and her lover are Catholics. The Callaghan home on Pacific avenue would, however, make a splendid set- ting for the nuptials. . . - Rev. Mr. Cuthbert, the flance of pretty Miss Maud Simpson, arrived from Japan ast Friday and is a guest at the Simpson home on Vallejo street, Miss Simpson and Mr. Cuthbert ex- pect to be married during the latter part of November. They will remain in San Francisco for the holidays, sail- ing for the young minister’s station in far away Kioto early in the new vear. . . - Senator and Mrs. Joseph R. Know- land of Alameda have been the guests for a few days of Senator and Mrs. Belshaw at Antioch. $EES @ Mrs. A. W. Bacon and Miss Alice Bacon are guests of Mrs. Percival C. Pope at Mare Island. Miss Bacon, who as the flancee of Tom Driscoll is being very widely feted by her friends. for she is a very popular maid, and al- though Mrs. Pope Is not entertaining v -$ HASEMCHT ? L) EYQ Se —b | | many others on the island are gladly rlaying hostess to Mrs. Bacon and her daughter. PO Tap Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Hopkins are here, having closed their Menlo Park home for the winter. o Fie gre When Captain and Mrs. Charles Ba- ker leave here in December they will bear in their company Miss Mabel Wat- kins, who expects to remain away some months. The departure of all these people is a matter of regret to their friends. NSRS It is more than pleasant to realize that the serious trouble through which Arthur B. Watson has passed is rap- idly diminishing. For a time it seemed that his hearing would be permanently injured, but he is at home with his brother, Douglas Watson, and rapidly on the road to full recovery. Al o Miss Katherine Glass will probably be wedded in the spring to Dr. Mun- son, who is in the Philippines. Miss Glass has just returned to her home in Berkeley after a year's visit in the Philippines, where she met her flance. & a0 Miss Ursula Stone, niece of Mre. L. L. Baker, will be entertained at the Palace at a luncheon upon her aunt's return from St. Louis. O B From Maintz, Germany, word comes that Mr. and Mrs. Horace Davis are having an ideal trip. rEw A Mr. and Mrs. James M. Green, Wash- ington, D. C., recently gave a dinner to Major and Mrs. Charles Krauthoft. o sdiis. @ To and fro go the sightseers. With every outgoing train, bearing away some of our elect, there is a correspond- ing Iincoming omne, bringing back wanderers. Mrs. Otto Irving Wise is once more settled in her Vallejo-street home and with her is her sister, Miss Rosenthal. *: o -0 Mrs. Thomas Selby and Miss Selby are located on Washington street. o S ce Mr. and Mrs. Silas Palmer left on Thursday for the eXposition eity and New Orleans, . o Dr. and Mrs. Theodore C. Burnett and Miss Marguerite Burnett have apartments at the Plymouth for the winter. o s B Mrs W. F. McClung and Miss Gladys McClung are contemplating spending the winter away from San Francisco. Lieutenant and Mrs. Frederick Horne of Annapolis are planning to entertain Mrs. and Miss McClung, and the at- tractions surrounding a gay naval center are hardly to be withstood. San Francisco will regret their absence while' wishing for them all the pleasure that will surely be thems. e . Europe is a lodestar for many of our folk this winter. According to the route planned by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Wilson, many moons will rise awd aes before our “own United Statea” sees them again. The automobiling through France and sunny Italy is a tour by Itzelf to be contemplated with delight and, added to that, all the splendors of Egypt, with a Mediterranean voyage, there is little left for which the travel- er’'s heart could ask. -0 .9 Mr. and Mrs. Marvin R. Higgins left on Wednesday for a trip to St. Louls, where - they Wwill be entertained by friends during their stay. Before re- turning to California, New York will be visited, and Sait Lake will have them as guests also for a few days om the return journey, N
