Prominent . in the wedding party was beautiful Mrs. Sterling Postley, formerly Miss Cook of this Western town, who has tried hard to live down the popularity be- stowed upon her by Duke Boris, who pronounced her the prettiest woman he had met in Yankeeland. Mrs. Horatio Cook, mother of Mrs. Postley, went on to the wedding and rumor has it that she herself will become a bride ere long, the denouement of a romance. begun on the other side of the ocean. Binl e te On Wednesday—what a blessed change from overworked Tuesday— Mrs: Mayo Newhall was hostess at dinner in honor of Miss Eels and John Babcock, whose nuptials are soon to be celebrated. I . Mrs. Willig Da¥is formally presented her lovely young daughter, Miss Edna Davis, to the smart set at a tea, like- wise her niece, Miss Sybil Hodges, and a beautiful scene -was the drawing- — e % room at the hour of five, with both maidens beside their embattlements of flowers. o FoE On the same afternoon Mrs, Frank Sullivan entertained at luncheon in her beautiful home on Washington street and Van Ness avenue, with handsome Helen Pettigrew the guest of honor. Miss Pettigrew’s wedding takes place on the 9th. @ R There seems to be small need of an excuse for fetes these merry, busy days, but every event is made a raison d’etre. The “comers home” are wined and dined, the out-going ones are “tea-ed,” the stay-at-homes are given receptions—for what? Stability, per- haps. But, with it all, the spirit of affection and true good fellowship abounds and whatever the cause, West- ern hospitality and generosity seem not on the wane. o imivie To bid them godspeed, Raphael Weill named as his guests of honor on Wed- nesday last Mr. and Mrs. John C. Wilson. The Bohemian Club red room, with its rich dressing, was further heightened in beauty by the lavish distribution of roses. Miss Grace Spreckels, Miss Helen Wagner, Mr. and Mrs. John D. Spreckels Jr., Barbour Lathrop, E. M. Greenway, Edgar Miz- ner and Raphael Weill unanimously and severally expressed sentiments be- fitting the hour. The perfection of the itinerary which the Wilsons have selected lies as much in its elasticity as in the countries themselves. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson left San Francisco yesterday, and with but a glance at Chica, and New York will set sail from BoSton on the 18th. BTN Thursday night brought the long- looked-for and long-wished-for Win- ship-Dillon wedding, thus bringing to a fitting climax a pretty bit of romance. A striking looking woman at all times, Miss Dillon made a fascinating bride. And maids, list ye! That exquisite robe was made in 8an Francisco, and a health to the bride for the fine spirit displayed therein, and may others take heed and follow a worthy example. The ceremony was, as in all Catholic services, solemn and impressive, and was- gelebrated at an altar a-gleam with candles, illufhining a wilderness of white blossoms. And this at the foot of a Murillo Ma- donna. Cate little maids were the floral bearers, Miss Margaret Casey and Miss Kate Crodar, in their little white frocks. The attendants, Miss Caroline Fosgate, Miss Sara Collier, Miss Grace Spreckels, Miss Ethel Moore and Miss Patricia Cos- grave, were chsrming in pink chiffon froc and bearing carnations. The home decorations were superb, thou- sands of blossoms having been culled to grace the glad affair. Among the guests who dined with the gallant officer and his bride were: Miss Caroline Fosgate, Miss Sara Collier, Miss Grace Spreckels, Miss Ethel Moore, Miss Patricia Cosgrave, Pay- master Ball, U. S. N.; Dr. and Mrs, Reginald Knight Smith, Lieutenant Lo- i Niid MDD LM . | - pez, U. S. ; Lieutenant Babcock, U. with the advance of the season. Wed- S. A.; Miss Gertrude Eels.

A. and Mrs. Alfred Baker Spalding. R VN e e The return of M Maude Younger Friday night was the gladdest, mer- riest night of - all, for ’twas genial Ned Greenway’'s birthday. ‘As on all other natal days within the memory of his friends, Mr. Greenway gave a din- ner. Then came the first big dance of the year, the Friday Night Assembly. And what a Jot of little fluttering debu- tante hearts were abroad that glad night at this their first ball, and bless- ings on them for their happiness. . &' s Maud Smith and her mother, . George Law Smith, have returned home full of remini ces of charm- ing hospitality in the East. In all the larger cities the ladies were delightfully entertained, but with all the allure- ments of t 1 they were “glad to get back”—the San Frdnciscan's refrain. PR T Miss Isabelle Kendall is the most sought after maid in the burg over the bay. On Wednesday she was enter- tained at cards in charming fashion by Miss Noelle de Golia, the following con- stituting the receiving party: Miss Clarisse Lohse, Miss Edith Downing, Miss Bonnie Downing, Miss Elsie Kim- ble, Miss Letitia Barry, Miss Evelyn Hussey, Miss Ruth Kales, Miss Lillian Isaacs, Miss Anita Oliver, Miss Lucre- tia Burnham, Miss Ada Kenna, Miss Jessie Fox, Miss Myrtle Sims, Miss Carmen Sutton, Miss Marion Walsh, Miss Nicholson, Mrs. Henry Rosenfeld and Mrs. Louise Allender. s If there’s a handsomer young matron in town than Mrs. Louis Pierce it has not been my good fortune to see her. A few days ago she lunched at the St. Francis, wearing a white embroidered cloth gown, with a large white hat and violet veil—a Whistler picture. « s e Though ’'tis paradoxical that buds should blossom in winter time, the truth of this matter still asserts itself, and every day proclaims a new flower. Miss Marjorie Greenwood Josselyn (what a pretty name!) made her pretty bow to the world of merriment yester- day. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Josselyn held tea and received the congratula- tions of their many friends for this winsome daughter’s introduction. In January Mrs. and Miss Josselyn will be at home on second and third Fridays. . 8 ¢ The departure of Mrs. Warren Olney with her daughter, Miss Ethel Olney, while a matter of congratulation for them is still a cause for regret among their many friends. But the spirit of “speed the parting guest” is upper- most, and amid the farewells there have been recently many affairs of pleasure given to the two travelers. Mrs. and Miss Olney will tour Europe, stopping in many Eastern cities en route. Mrs. Warren Olney Jr. recently invited several of the closer family friends to bid adieux. Among those who received with her were Mrs. Ed- ward von Adelung, Mrs. Walter Hart, Mrs. Louis Bartlett, Mrs. J. K. Mec- Lean, Mrs. Bayata, Miss Wellman and Miss Mary Williams. * . * All-Hallows’ Eve, even in this prac- tical age, lays claim to numerous fol- lowers who willingly, even if timidly, peer into the unknown. e grown folk take strange delight, too, in dis- secting the charm. With this object in view, three hostesses gathered about them thirty or more uninitiated on Hal- loween. The home was Mrs. Brom- well's and aiding her were Mrs. Joseph Kelly and Mrs. George Borneman. 'Tis said these “children of a larger growth™ were as happy and well-pleased with the entertainment as a younger gen- eration might have been. . Army affairs are rapidly increasing after so long an absence from home*is a cause for much warm weltome and will be further celebrated by many af- fairs in her honor. Though several of this city’s fair daughters are well trav- eled and conversant with European manners and ideas, there are few who desert for so long a period as has, Miss Younger. She has positively prolonged her foreign stay into years, so that San Francisco is little more than nominally home to her. Still, she will enjoy her stay with old friends, even though there is small likelthood of her taking per- manent residence here. .. 8 Dr. William A. Martin entertained a: dinner yesterday in honor of Major Shielg and Dr. and Mrs. Shiels. The affair took place at the Palace, covers being laid for fifteen. LA Society loses one of its favered members for the winter in the de- parture of Mrs. McKittrick, who has gone with her father, General Shafter, to his Bakersfield ranch. The hos< pitable home on Pacific avenue, though left under charming guardian< ship, will miss the geniality of the gale lant general and of Mrs. McKittrick, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Welch, who have * taken the Shafter house, will open their doors frequently through thig season. ity e To-morrow the St. Francis will be the scene of a brilliant reception ta be given by Mrs. Grayson Duttonm. —— e ITEMS OF INTEREST IN THE NOVEMBER THEATER MAGAZINE A prominent feature of the Theatew Magazine for November is a most ine teresting Interview with George Ade, in Wwhich the successtul dramatist, whose income from his royalties exceeded last year the salary of the President of the Unitd States, makes a declaration of principles in regard to his ambitions and future work for the stage. Another readable article is an account of the artistic career of Mme. Schugann- Heink, the Wagnerian singer, who has recently made her debut in American comic opera. This is illustrated with rare portraits of her at a very early age. - Ada Patterson continues the delight- ful chats with players, her subject this month being Annie Irish, and Aubrey Lanston contributes a charmingly written article on Mrs. Siddons. Mont- rose J. Moses continues his papers on “Famous Families of American Play- ers.; This month's installment devoted tc the Sotherns. cle entitled “Curiosities Criticism™ is likely to arouse some comment for some of the blunt truths it tells, and there is an in- teresting account of the gift of a the- ater by a philanthropist to a town in Minnesota. The pictures, as usual, are very elaborate. The story of David Warfleld's great success, “The Music Master,” is told completely in picture form, and so is George Ade's comedy, “The College Widow.” There® are also large plates of Mrs. Patrick Campbell in the “Sorceress, Viola Allen in “A Winter's Tale,” Otis Skinner in “The Harvester,” Anna Held in “Higgledy Piggledy,” Henry Miller in “Joseph Entangled,”. scenes from “The Sho-Gun” and, from “Fan- " “Love’s Lottery,” “Business Is and “The Coronet of the Duchess.” There are also single por- traits of Edgar Selwyn, H.
