Follis, hostess at a children’s party in honor of her wee talph Gwin Follis, at the Officers’ Club. Austin Coolidge, enter- , Miss Elsa Draver the zuest of honor. One of the most attractive affairs of last week was the tea wf Mrs. Squi Varick Mocney, whose beautiful new home is admirably adapted to enter- taining. Mrs.” Mooney is onme of the clever members of the Cap and Bells, whose theatrical “stunts” ‘are really very clever. G e Lucky Miss Harmes, to be chosen maid to so charming a bride as Miss Gertrude Dutton! January 11 is the day whereupon Josiah Howell will be made a happy chap. Did any one ever behold two such ideal lovers as this pair? ’Tis said that every bachelor in the Bohemian Club is afflicted, in some degree, with the love bacillus, contract- ed. they avow, from Mr. Howell. But that's good news! There are some mighty nice chaps in the club. And that's all flub-dub about ¢lubmen not making good husbands. True, they wander out o' nights now and then, and cccasionally have difficulty with the latch key, but their nourished wit, their knowledge of affairs and their widened horizon of life make them in- teresting companions. And it is inter- est—pure and simple—that feeds the fi of domestic happiness, just as duliness is the fire-damp of the hearth. AT Although so generously feted in her home borough, Miss Azalea Keyes longs for the allurements abroad. And small wonder, for in Paris the pretty maid has been marvelously hapoy in the gay environment, even as have others of her townsfolk. After much debating with her de- voted mamma, Mrs. Luke Robinson, Miss Bernadette has left Paris and returned to Rome, where she will reign one more winter a little queen in the army set. Next spring will see her home, lest indeed she be cajoled into becoming a Florentine. Strange whisperings from over the seas are wafted to me. But surely, the pretty maid with the sunset hair and the midnight eves will come back to us, even though it be but for a visit. R R While every city boasts. more or less, of its amateur theatrical talent, it is not often that the “talent” dare essay, anything of real worth to be presented before a critical audience. We have among us, however, an ag- gregation of people who by gift and training are really fitted to offer some- thing as good as “The Liars,” by Hen- ry Arthur Jones. T#e Naval Club house at Vallejo is an abode which will soon be the gainer by a benefit. Under the auspices of Admiral and Mrs. McCalla an arrangement has been made with the Columbia Theater management for a matinee to be giv- en there in January by a clever cast of performers, taken from smart set ranks. e | | | 1 | | | | i { | | ‘ | | | | | | | | ‘ Miss BELLE HARMES. - QENTHE .- PHOTO -~ = | ks — A LUCKY BRIDE.

Y., is spending the winter at the St. Francis. Recently Mrs. Nath- ans-Moore entertained a number of friends In rather a novel manner. To celebrate her birthday, she asked about twenty guests to luncheon in the green rcom. Before each guest dangled a tantastic figure, like a Brownie, each one weighting a loon sufficiently to keep them from floating away. This caused_ much amusement and then there was the regulation birthday cake with all the accessories, thimble, ring, ete. The merriment increased with each new. surprise and the friends were most highly entertained by unique preparations. Mrs. Nathans Moore is a well-known society weman of Eastern cities.

LONDON, Dee. 24.—1It is not general- known that Elinor Glyn, who wrote The Visits of Elizabeth.” is responsi- ble for a series of appellations which added considerably the gayety nations, not long ago. This was when Lady Duff Gordon, who trades as a milliner under the name “Lucile,” gave her famous exhibition of “emo- tional gowns” in Bond street. The ti- tles given to these weird creations were startling. One was called, “The Dirge O'er the Death of Pleasure,” another “A Frenzied Song of Amorous Things.” Still others Wwere “Incessant Soft Desire,” “The Red Mouth of a Venomous Flower” and ‘“The Meaning of Life is Clear.” Zvery one wondered who was the au- thor of these designations, but no one thought of Elinor Glyn, forgetting, perhaps, that the author and Lady Duff Gordon are sisters. However, a friend let the secret out. of
