With most auspicious surroundings was the new vear launched and the vista of events looming ahead denote probably treble the gayety already al- lotted ys. A perfect inundation of engagements and weddings has confronted the smart set, with almost as many to closely follow, To-morrow, one home in particular and society at large will be gladdened by the arrival of Captain and Mrs. Haldiman: Putnam-Young, who will be installed in the Voorhies home for a period of several weeks, and this is pleasant news, for 'tis the first time the couple have retraced steps westward since their marriage over a year ago. As Marie Voorhies, Mrs. Young left be- hind a large number of friends who will most eagerly greet her and whom she, too, will meet with warmth, for de- spite her happy surroundings and friends at Schuylkill Arsenal, Mrs. Young has been a bit homesick for San Francisco and all it holds for her. Captain and Mrs. Guy Scott are also ex- pected soon and the home of Dr. and Mrs, Voorhies will be the scene of a very de- lightful family reunion. . e . Mrs. Harry Nathaniel Gray will be among those opening the week's events by giving a large dinner to- morrow at St. Dunstan's. PR Tuesday will see several affairs, among which is to be the bridge party given by Miss Gertrude Palmer at her home on Jackson street. . e . Miss Lysbeth Painter will plight her troth to George Englehardt next Wednesday evening, January 10, the marriage service to be read at the home of the bride's aunt, Mrs. Yemens, on Franklin street. Not a large number of guests are bidden, though the palr will be sur- rounded by their intimate friends. Miss Georgie Spieker will serve as the honored maid, while Judge Fritz will stand with the groom. L The geremony is announced for 9§ o'clock, to be read by Rev. Dr. George C. Adams of the First Congregational Church.

The wedding day has not been named, though probably It will be within the year. The wedding day of two young Stan ford graduates is named for January 15, when Miss Mabel H. Brown and Norman Collyer will pledge their vows. | Rev. Bradford Leavitt will read the ceremony at 3 o'clock in the vestry of the First Unitarian Church. | « s e . . Mrs, Frederick Kellond with her petite daughter sailed for the Philippines on Friday, where they will be met by Lieu- tenant Kellond, who is stationed with the Nineteenth. . The first January wedding of import- | ance will be that of Miss Alice Treanor | and Clarence’ Oddie of Tonopah; to take | place on the 16th. i Society will be in attendance for the ceremony, which will take place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and | Mrs. Willam H. Jordan, on Pacific | avenue. . There will be seven attendants upon the bride, who are Miss Edith Treanor, maid of honor, Miss Elizabeth Mills, Miss Flor- ence Cole, Miss Edith Cutter, Miss Emily Chickering, Miss Jane Wilshire and Miss Ruth Foster. l - Miss Madeline Sterling and Dennis Dimond were very quietly married last Sunday afternoon at the Sacred Heart Church, Oakland. The bride, who is a relative of George Sterling, the poet, and a miece of Frank C. Havens, was attended by her sister, ’Mru. Frank Rounthwalte, as matron of honor, Hugh Dimond serving his brother. After a wedding journey Mr. and Mrs. Dimond will make their home at the famous old family place in Fruitvale. e . . The last Presidio hop was a most de- lightful and jolly affair and those who were upon thé fortunate guest lisiware anxiously awaiting the 16th, for on that date the next dance will take place un- der the same auypicee.

In truth is she a pretty woma on Another handsome matren, a bride of a few month is Mrs. Joseph Duggan, at whose Pacific-avenue home a host of friends were made welcome upon New Year's day. As charming as she’s pretty, Mrs. Duggan is making fast friends of her husband’'s friends—likewise these .of her father-in-law, the well-known min- ing man. who left for a tour of Europe soon after his son's marriage. N . . The “At Home" of Mrs. Eleanor Mar- | tin and her exquisite daughter-in-law, Mrs. Peter, made Friday a gala day. The most democratic—and the most sinuously fascinating of reigning mar- ried belles—Mrs. Peter holds sway through her petrsonality rather than her clothés. That which faseinates lies, I think, in her wonderful eyes, and the brain that lies behind them. And grandmamma is assuredly fond of her son's wife, very who knows so | well how to make a good showing out | of the Martin ducats. The Neustadter-Hart wedding was quite the most important event in Jew- ish society during the gay holidays. Miss Helen Louise, daughter of the David Neustadters, made a stunning bride in her nuptial robes of white satin and rose-point, attended to the love bower by Mrs L. W. Neustadter, Mrs. Herbort Fleishhacker, Miss Margoret Heller and Miss Florence Guggenheim. The young people’s trip to Europe will keep them abroad until next year —a journey Into every untraveled mook in France and Germany. . One of the handsomest women the navy has given us for many moons is with us temporarily—-Mrs. Willlam Winder, wife of Captain Winder of the transport Lawton. She was among ‘Mrs. Milton Pray’s guests on Tuesday. She is temporarily located at the Plymouth, with headquarters, of course, at Mare Island, where her husband has been en; on the Young court-mar- tial.
