But don’t fall asleep over it. Get your tickets early. . . = A pleasant event to-day will be a tea in honor of two young visitors and a bride of June. Mrs. Robert Jeffery Dus- tan, with ber daughter, Miss Dorothy Dustan, will entertain at a tea, Mrs. Philip Bancroft to share honors with Miss Grace Mellus of Los Angeles and Miss Brent Watkins. The affair is to be quite large, as the three special guests claim a goodly portion of society’s attention. s v o The pleasures of the holiday time are scarcely creating more interest than the anticipation of a delightful dance to be given by Colonel Waln-Morgan Draper. In honor of his charming daughter, Miss Elsa Draper, the affair will have the ini- tiation of the new Golf and Country Club house at Ingleside, guests to be conveyed | by private car. Fifty guests have been bidden for the evening of December 27, and those who were present at Miss Elsa's coming-out party last year at the Bohemian Club well realize what a splendid time is in store, Colonel Draper being an ideal host. s e . Mrs. La Boyteaux will be one of next Friday's bridge hostesses, having issued invitations for about two dozen guests to convene at her home on Pacific avenue. e The 23d will see the marriage of Miss Louise Whitney of Santa Barbara to Harry Young of this city, with a nota. ble -attendance from this city. Mi ‘Whitney has visited in town so exten- sively -that she not only holds a wide ac- quaintanceship, but many warm friends, who are delighted to think she is coming to reside within these gates. The wedding will take place at the| ‘Whitney home with the attendants, in- cluding Miss Amy Broome, Miss Florence [2 TIORENCR LAYD MAY. CGENTHE «o POT Hammond and Miss Clara Sweigert. Only a small number are bidden to the ceremony, though the reception following will include nearly 5%, after which Mr. + Young will bring his bride to San Fran- cisco, where residence will be established i for a time with the groom's parents.
