Igit Raphael Weill {s no commonplace host — the fellow that buys, just because he can, the brains of other people. Every de- tall, such as decorations, place‘eards, se- lection of music, menu, etc., is planned by the host himself, and therein lies the individuality of Weill affairs. But that, aptly done, as it is, 1s hardly the secret of their success; for it takes more than mere externals (or that which is destined to become internals) to make a dinner go. It takes spirit, and the spirit that doesn't grow in the grape—though one might add that it helps mightily. at the round table—and who drank the | healths of Mme. ana Mlle. Gros, who soon depart for Parls —were Mme. | Rathier, Mr. and Mrs. John C. Wilson, Mr. Dubedat, Mr. and Mrs. Fremont Older, Miss Maye Colburn, Miss Fran- ces Jolliffe, Miss Virginia Brastow, “Uncle” George Bromley, Professor Jer- ome Landfield, Charles de Young, Ry- land B, Wallace, Cleve Baker and Jean Gallois. . niece of Mrs. John Harold Philip, leaves week, after having had a beautiful time in town during.the .winter. the interesting young woman selected the most opportune time to visit her aunt, who, by the way, I8 one of the Among the guests that made merry Miss Adalene Johnson, the charming | for her home in Cleveland during the ; AR i MRS HARRY NATHANII — QRAY., 2275 2i%. most charming mhtrons fn society—an intelligent, tactful hostess and a most devoted mother—rather a rare duality. e s o Twice a hostess during the week was the rather busy record made by Mrs. Harry Nathanliel ‘Gray. On 'Monday night a merry dinner party was given at St. Dunstan’s, and on Tuesday after- noon a cozy little bridge party. In jus- tice to Mrs. Gray, I beg to state.that these functions were quite separate and distinct—and wholly delightful.. Among Mrs. Gray's guests on Tues- day were: Mrs. Frederick Spencer Palmer, Mrs., Jules Brett, Miss Agnes Buchanan, Miss Maye Colburn, Mrs. Jane M. Ewell, Mrs. Ernest Albert Stent, Mrs. Isaac Oliver Upham, Mrs. J. H. Wallace, Miss Ardella Mills, Mrs. William L. Spen- cer, Mrs. Paul Bancroft, Mrs. Frederick McLeod Fenwick, Mrs. Thomas Benton Danogh, Mrs. Edwin T. Houghton, Mrs. Leonard Chenery, Mrs. John R. Clark and Mrs. Willlam Shotwell. There's no den¥ing that young girls look ravishly lovely gliding about upon skates, their lithe bodles swaying to the rhythm of the music. But ye gods!—what a picture the fat ladies are! It is one of the features of the Monday Night Club, o’ershadowed only by the gyra- tiops of the fat men. But they seem to have a beautiful time, in spite of the blow they strike at artistry, so here’s to thefr pluck! Mr. and Mrs. William Ede have start- ed on a prolonged journey, expecting to skirt the globe before landing again in San Francisco. They will make a brief visit to Homolulu, going thence to Aus- tralia, China and, Japan. Mr. and Mrs, Bde, who took their de- parture last week, gave a large farewell reception at their home. e The return of Captain Haldeman P. Young and his chic little wife (Marie Voorhies) to-the home nest has brought heaps of happiness to their relatives and Y = — -~ Wikety; THREE CHARMING _ YOUNG WOMEN, WHO HAVE PARTICL- PATED IN THE GAY orF SOCIETY. o ey It s the first time Dr. Voorhies has seen his daughter since he gave her into the keeping of the handsome, gray-haired officer, over a year ago, since which time the pair have made their home at Schuyl- kill arsenal, a few minutes’ ride from Philadelphia. Mrs. Voorhies visited her daughter dur- ing the year, but a few weeks in a whole year is a very little bit of a visit, so there will be much to recount and retafl during the stay of the Youngs in town. Mrs. Guy Scott, wife of Captain Scott, stationed at Vancouver barracks, is ex- pected to join the family reunion during the month, when a round of affairs will be given in honor of the charming vis..or. It's a -lucky thing that the Voorhies home is as big as it is. There seems to be rooms for all, and to spare. Grantland Voorhies, the only son of the fatuily, is a handsome chap, and a mighty clever young fellow, with some definite views of life. RBeing the only boy ap- parently hasn't spoiled him. .. Miss Alice Hueter starts upon her sec- ond tour of the Old World next month, accompanying Miss Peltzer of London as far as New York, where Miss Hueter will embark for Italy and Miss Peltzer for Liverpool. After visiting in the art centers of Italy, France and Germany—which Miss Hueter Is temperamentally fitted to en- Jjoy—shé will visit Miss Peltzer, & friend of school days in Lucerne. Miss Peltzer made the journey from her home in the Tight Little Isle to officiate as bridesmaid at the wedding, last Octo- ber, of Mrs. Fillmore White (nee Brune), likewise # friend of Lucerne school days. v e e The Daughters of Pioneers will honor Miss Lucy F. Adams, a former president of the club, at a reception to-morrow afternoon at Ploneer Hall. Miss Adams has but recently returned from a year's trip abroad. " The Maynard Dixons gave a cozy little tea yesterday in their studio at 424 Pine street, where many congenial spirits met | to inhale a little art with their tea—tea as the Russians make it. Isn't it a wonder that Mr. wouldn’t fix up something that the Nav- ajos drink? ¢ e From the looks of things, we are not to dance to the piping of King Carnival this year, and thereat is there much sad- ness in society. Unfortunately, Willis Davis, president of | the board of directors of the Institute of Art, has been ill and is still indisposed. He it is who has, these many moons, been the moving spirit of the Mardi Gras, and in his absence there's apparently no one willing to carry the affair to an issue. Shrove Tuesday occurs on the 27th of February—only six weeks away—and nothing has as yet been done by way of preliminary preparations. Besides, some of the directors are of the, belief that the lapse of a year will sharpen the appetite of society for the next year’s bill. Perhaps they are right, but—it isn’t nice to be disappointed. ‘Why, lots of maids had dances already engaged, and had planned a lot of cute things to do, and cunning little things to wear. But perhaps something might happen to turn the tide of things. But it would have to happen in a hurry, as the time is_almost nigh. But meanwhile, cheer up! « s ¥ ‘When Mrs. Frank Carolan returns to us in a fortnight she will no doubt brin with her a lot of London innovations, ag Mrs. Frank doesn’'t miss many tricks when chroad. Among them she may tell us that it is no longer smart in dear old London to retain men servants, a reversal of what ,formerly was almost a religion with the English. Parlor maids are being installed Instead of butlers, and maid servants are conducting the internal affairs’ of the “best’”” families. Should Mrs. Carolan introduce the new system at Crossroads, what a famine in malds there would be in Burlingame! Edward M. Greenway left town on Thursday evening for a trip tnrough Oregon. As he will be gone but a month there's no use in feeling blue. Can any one picture society having any fun without the Little Round Czar? s s e The extreme beauty of decoration at the Barron ball will long be a matter of comment, for the effects produced a veritatle fairyland—trite as the metaphor may be. Miss Barron is an attractive maid, combining beauty that is both refined and wholesome, her great charm being a soft, well-modulated voice—that ex- cellent thing in woman. « s . Mrs. Arthur Barry Watson, who has recently returned from her wedding trip to Europe, has not yet had the pleasure of being greeted by her host of friends. Arriving about holiday time, Mr. and Mrs. Watson bave, with Mr. and Mrs. Pease and the Douglas ‘Watsons, been engrossed with the af- fairs of Yuletide and New Year's, but to-morrow an oppertunity will be forthcoming for-a general renewal of old friendships. . . . The wedding of Miss Hortense Childs and Major Frederick P. Reynolds, U. 8. A, is set for February 20, the ceremony to take place at the home of the bride in Los Angeles. - Miss Childs is a prominent socfety maid of the South, identified with the 2! 2 | Dixon set of exclusives, afid Major Reynolds of the medical corps is widely known in army precincts. Many people from town and the Pre- sidio will go down for the wedding, which is to be a brilliant event. It is probable that Major William Stephenson will serve as best man, j other brother officers to act In the ca- pacity of ushers, and full military re- | galia will signalize the army’s domi- nace. . . Of coming affairs none are claiming more attention than two Oakland wed- dings. Miss Ethel Crellin is to wed Whip- ple Spear Hall on the 31st, and the nup- tials of Miss Chickering and John Over- bury wili take place late in February. . . . Two important weddings are on the calendar for January 24—those of Miss | Dunstan and Lieutenant Peace and | Miss Margaret Wilson and .ieutenant Harwood. The former will be a large affair at Grace Chureh, in the evening, with all the military pomp, while Miss Wilson will be quietly married in the after- noon in Trinity Church. Several at- tendants will wait upon each fair bride. € ke Miss Edna Middleton has issued cards for an elaborate bridge party, at which she will honor both Mrs. Watson and Miss Sara Cunningham. Miss = Middle- ton is a charming hostess and the clos- est friend of Mrs. Watson. There will be a gala time, the excitement of bridge to be varied by the greetings. o S e Among those who will date next Friday for an at home are Mr. and Mrs. Harry Somers Young (Louise Whitney), who will receive at the resi- dence of Mrs. Edward B. Youns, 2727 Vallejo straeL. Saveral dinners are on the tapis for next Friday evening, when the varlous hosts and diners will later attend the Assembly at the Palace. This marks the close of these delightful dances, which Mrs. Voorhies has so charmingly and tactfully carried for several seasons. .« . 5 Mrs. Eleanor Martin and Mrs. Peter Martin wili give their seconmd and last at home for the season next Friday, when the Martin home on Broadway will be the Mecca for several hundred callers. . . Mrs. Joseph Grant will be a hostess of the week, entertaining next Thurs- day at bridge for about thirty guests. . s . A quiet wedding on Wednesday morn- ing will be that of Miss Emelie Geraldine Reed and Herbert Baldwin, to take place at 11 in the Church of St. Mary the Vir- gin at Union and Steiner streets. A nup- tial mass will be offered by Rev. Father Lathrop of the Church of the Advent, preceding the ceremony, Rev. Father ‘Wallis Attending the bride will be Miss Grace Runyon, maid of honor, and Miss Fran- ces Reed, bridesmald. Leland Ramsdell will serve groom, the ushers to include Rae Han: Robert Van Sant Jr., Samuel Wilder Pease, Ford Flint ahd Harmon Bontl. Owing to the recent demise of the groom's father, Colonel W. H. Baldwin, deputy commissary general, U. 8. A., the -service will be only for relatives and near friends. | Mr. Baldwin will take his bride to Ma- | nila, where their home is to be, though a tour of the Orient is to precede their permanent location. A . s . Mrs. Jessief Bowle Detrick will enter- tain at a large bridge party on Wednes- day. A e INGR2 + ++= > and several of his attendants—Eastern and Tonopah men—will arrive to-morrow. The bridal train is large, composed of fourteen, who are: Miss Edith Treanor, maid of honor; Miss Elizabeth Mills, Miss Jane Wilshire, Miss Ruth Foster, Miss Emily Chickering, Miss Florence Cole, Miss Edith Cutter, T. L. Oddie, best man; John Overbury, Nelson Poe, Harry Chickering, Brady and William Hough. R Fun will reign Tuesday night within the Presidio environs, when the third of the season’s large hops will be held by the of- ficers and ladies of the garrison and gen- eral hospital. Jerome Landfleld, Charles 7/ Mies Frances Stewart will hold her sec- ond at home to-morrow in her father's apartments at the Hotel Cecil. R Mrs. William T. Baggett and Miss Nell Rose Baggett will recelve to-morrow im their ‘apartments at’St. Dunstan’s, s . Miss Dorothy Dustan is the reigning belle of the month, Jer nearby marriage hastening events in her honor. Through this weel three affairs at least will have this fair maid for motif. Miss Ethel Shorb is to give a tes, while 2 dance will take place at the home of Miss Susan and Miss Mary Erts next Thursday evening. A Tuncheon at St. Dunstan’s is the af- fair planned by Mrs. Philip Baneroft, next Saturday for Miss Dustan, who wilk be greeted on that occasion by & dozen of her friends. The little vestry of the Unitarian church will witness a quiet wedding to- morrow, when the Rev. Bradford Leavitt will read the marriage service for Mies Mabel H. Brown and Norman Collyer. Only the immediate relatives will be pres- ent at the hour of 3, after which Mr. Coil- yer will take his bride to their homs im Sacramento. Both are Stanford sgraduates, Mise Brown having done some very clevesr short storfes and magazine work. e ¢ The new home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugens Freerhan was opened for hospitality last Tuesday by an informal tea given by Miss Maud Payne for her house guest, Miss Bessie Dunsmuir of Vietoria. Only a dozen or so of maids wers bidden in for a chat and a cup of tea, but they waxed merry and passed a Bappy afternoon. Among them were Miss Duns- muir, Miss Masle Langhorne, Miss Julia Langhorne, Miss Merritt Reid, Miss Sara Cunningham, Miss Emily Marvin, Miss Ruth Casey, Miss Elsa Draper, Miss Luey Gwin Coleman, the Misses Edna and Sid- ney Davis. . eire Edward M. Greenway. who led the co- tillon with Miss Barron last Wednesday evening, pald the fair debutante a pretty compliment by giving a luncheon in her honor in the afterncon. The Palm Gar- den was the scene of the affair, which included the members of the first set . among the cotillon dancers, and the table was most daintily dressed in white carna- tions and autumn leaves. The merry party which afterward com- vened In the ballroom for a final re- hearsal of the figures was compesed of Miss Barron, Mr. Greenway, Miss Chris- tine Pomeroy, Philip King, Miss Helen Chesebrough, Sidney Salisbury, Miss Gertrude Josselyn, Courtney Ford, Miss Dorothy Eeils, Mr. Willlams, Miss Anita Harvey, Willlam Barron, Miss Maisle Langhorne, Eyre Pinckard, Miss Lucy Gwin Coleman, Wharton Thurston, Miss Margaret Hyde-Smith, Percy Chese- brough, Miss Christine Roosevelt, Lioyd Baldwin, Miss Margaret Newhall.
