But in the matter of programmes, tickets, theater and arrangements therein, the Daughters have done the bulk of the work—and done it well.

Friday night's dance at the Palace— Mrs. Ynez Shorb White's—was an emi- nently jolly affair, partaking much of the hostess' personality. But in essential points, it doesn’t dif- fer in the least from the Assemblies, that seemed to fulfill all the requirements of a subscription club admirably. ) Young Piazzoni, the talented artist who v sold several important canvases Will Crocker, left on Wednesday | for Europe, where he will resume his work ‘among the gallerles of the Old World. But before leaving, he took him to a little church around ihe corner, and was | wedded. He was wedded to the charming | and talented sister of Arthur Del Mue, a fellow-artist. The bride is a singer and a clever mu- sician, and the twain will study abroad the lines that most appeal to them. . e e The searchlight upon the initial month of 196 shows it not to be barren of | events, those already within the percep- tion including two weddings, a dance and several large reception days. Toward the middle of the month Miss Alice Treanor will exchange marriage vows with Clarence Oddle, the event to be surrounded by much brilliance. Passage to Europe has already been se- | cured and Mr. Oddie expects to spend six months on a continental tour with his | bride. = | Tonopah will be the site for the Oddle | home upon return, though much time | | will also be passed in San Franclsco. P Miss Frances Stewart will receive on the first and third Mondays in January, while Mrs. William T. Baggett and Miss Nell Rose Baggett have announced that they will be at home the third and fourth Mondays at St. Dunstan’s. e ane Mrs. Eleanor Martin is to recelve at two elaborate affairs from 3 to 7 on first and third Fridays in January at her Broadway home. 3 o e e January 13 has been denoted WM tne date for the next dance of the San Fran- cisco Yacht Club, and this affair at Sau- salito is already promoting many delight- ful conjectures. b Y The nuotials of Miss Elise Gregory and Dr. Richardson of Angel Island will probably take place in January's last week. CI Ve The important post-Christmas affair is the dance to be given by Colonel Thomas ‘Waln-Morgan Draper in the new Golf and Country Clubhousey s Colonel Draper honors. his daughter, Miss Elsa, on this occasion, and the very | lucky ones on the guest list are in high | feather of expectancy, for the Draper hospitality means everything that is de- lighttul. (e Mrs. William Lander's apartments at St. Dunstan’s will be filled to-morrow with a host of friends who are inform- ally bldden to greet Mrs, Jack Johnston of Los Angeles. This young matron holds undiminished her favored position with the associates of her girlhood days, and Wwith each return to San Francisco Mrs. Johnston is overwhelmed with welcome. She will remain a week or two, still undecided as to the disposition of the holidays, but in the meantime there will be several jolly reunions surround- ing the Southern visitor. e . e The next large dancing affair of the Presidlo residents takes place Tuesday evening when a hop will be given to include several townspeople besides those resident of the nelghboring posts. . . . Mrs. J. Parker Currier will be a host- ess of Tuesday, her apartments at St Dunstan's to be the scene of a large luncheon at 1 o'clock, when many guests will enjoy the unbounded hospi- tality of this hostess. R The wedding of Miss Louise Whitney and Harry Young will take place next Saturday, the ceremony to be quietly performed at the Whitney home In San- ta Barbara.. A number of San Franciscans are among those fortunate to be bidden to the service, the fair bride holding many. warm friends in this city, and among the bridal party are Miss Flor- ence Hammond, Miss Clara Sweigert and Miss Amy Broome. The home of the young couple will be made for a time with Mr. and Mrs. Edward B. Young in this city. 3 s e e Mrs. Roy McCabe (Edith Gaskill) will be greeted by several friends next Saturday, when the Palm Garden will be the scene of a luncheon. In honor of the.yo\ms bride, Mrs, Charles O, Scott has asked some of the more inti- mate associates to meet for a merry chat about the board. Mrs. McCabe has been living at the McCabe ranch, near Byron, since her marriage, and not many opportunities are afforded these days for seeing her. . . . Nearly at the eve of Kris Kringle's advent will come the second Greenway dance, and this, as its predecessors, will command the earnest attention of the smart set. The gay holiday air will add zest to the dancers, and there is no more subtle incentive to festivity than the irresistible influence of the Yuletide. . . . Wednesday also will see the mar- riage in Santa Cruz of Miss Eva Bow- man and Ray Judah of this city, the young couple to maKe their-home in Los Angeles. A bride of the southland will likewise plight her troth on that day, Miss Ger- trude Jacks of San Luis Obispo to wed with Charles Kaetzel, a prominent young attorney of that region. Thelr wedding tour will include San Francisco, where both have wide acquaintance, Miss Jacks with her sister Ethel having spent much time in our society set. . . An event of Berkeley on Wednesday evening will be the wedding of Miss Jean Downey and Hugh Goodfellow, the service %o be read at 8:3) at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Downey. In the bridal party will be Miss Lillian Downey, as maid of honor, with Miss Mary Downey, Miss Ethel Crellin, Miss Marian Goodfellow and Miss May Coogan as bridesmaids. Not a great number of cards have been issued, the ceremony to be only fop rel- atives and the closer family friends. Rev, E. E. Baker of the First Presbyterian Church is to read. . . Mr. and Mrs. James Spalding (Georgie Lacey) safled yesterday for the Ha- watian Islands, where Mr. Spalding has large plantations. 5 . .

Music the motif, was delightfully given, the two hostesses giving several numbers, assisted by Miss Winifred June Morgan of Oakland, who played her violin ex- ceedingly well. Palms, as a background to great bunches of vivid berries, gave a most attractive effect, and the guests—a comfortable number—passed a very enjoy- able hour or so. & b e Miss Georgle Spieker, Miss Elsa Draper and Mrs. Willlam Lindsley Spencer have been hostesses of the week, each enter- taining in varied manner, with informal- ity creating most harmonious conditions. il & The beautiful Crellin home on Jackson street in Odkland was a scene of merri- ment last Wednesday afternoon when Miss Ethel Crellin entertalned at a luncheon in honor of two coming brides —Miss Jean Downey and ..uss ' Marfan Goodfellow. The prime motif of this affair had been removed by too insistent tongues, for Miss Crellin had intended to convey & pretty secret to her friends—her be- trothal to Whipple Hall.

LONDON, Dec. 16.—Mr. Van Alen is now In town, but is up and down from Rushton a good deal. He is very busy with his house, but especially his gar- den, which is going to be a wonderful success, entirely transformed with quaint yew hedges, rose gardens, rock gardens, water gardens and all the latest horticultural fashions. At prese ent the place is a wilderness, but it rs laid out by a thoroughly good lanu- scape gardemer.
