Among the busiest maids of the week was Miss Bessie Bates, who was the fetchingest sort of a bridesmaid for Mrs. Lawrence Roland Sevier (nee Scatena), a guest at the Middleton bridge party, besides attending a half- dozen informal teas and numerous ex- peditions to the skating rink—where, by the way, she's regarded as some- thing of a wiz, skating In assorted fashions, with very few tumbles charged against her. With Miss Bessie ‘Wilson, Miss Genevieve Harvey and Miss Bates on the floor there's enough of sinuous grace thereon to hold down the bleachers for an hour. D . Closing their beautiful home in Napa County, familiar to Northern Califor- nians as Oak Knoll, Mrs. Drury Malone, Miss Edith Melone and Harry Melone have come to town for the winter, tak- ing up their residence at the Cecil. Since coming to town Miss Melone has been having a beautiful time, her charming personality—which she in- herits from her 1::!!01'. Drury Melone, and an equally rming mother—has B3NS S A0 T T The Meiones will remain until March, when their hospitable home will lure them back. . " .

R . If we. may not dance at the artists’ Mardi Gras we shall be compensated— or, at least, propitiated; for, besides the Assembly masked ball on Shrove Tues: day (February 27), we shall have a Charity Bal! at some date during the month (yet undesignated). At the Palace, of course. - And it will be a Charity Ball built on the lines of those affairs in dear old Lopdon—where the lame, the halt and he aged may play bridge while the youngsters dance. The object of the ball commends itself to every one who gives a moment's seri- ous thought to the sorrows of the poor-* more particularly the sorrows and de- privations of the children of the poor. The Telegraph Hill neighborhood set- tlement, founded by Miss Betty Ashe, she who has followed literally the commands of the Nazarene to “love one another”— does marvelous work among the people crowded upon the slopes of the hill, wedged into damp alleys and in dingy tenements, 2 It is for this philanthropy, where the ignorant and the poor are enlightened in the ways of cleanliness and godliness, and are extended the hand of friendshi where they are given personal help, med- ical ald, physical relief, and—best of all-intelligent sympathy. It is for this great good that you are bidden to dan r play bridge; or if you choose do neither, to remit the price | to Mrs. Horatlo Hellman, secretary, Mrs. Edward L. Eyre, or Miss Alice Griffin, treasurer—any one of whom will say, very sweetly, “Thank you, sir.” _Among those directly interested are rity Mrs. Elliott McAllister, Mrs. John Ward Mailliard, Miss Emily Carolan, Mrs. Henry L. Dodge, Mrs. George Boardman, Mrs. Carter Pomeroy, Mrs. Henry Bothin, Mrs. George Monroe Pinkard, Mrs. E. Tubbs, Mrs, R. D. Girvin, Mrs, Chauncey Rose Winslow, Miss Marian Huntington, Miss Ruth Allen, Mrs. Louis Parrott, Mrs. Augustus Taylor, Mrs. Gaston Ashe, Mrs. J. Downey Harvey, Mrs. Fred Beaver, Mrs. Henry Scott, Mrs. Warren Dearborn Clark and others. . or | Mrs. Mayo Newhall, Mrs, Sigmund Stern, | <= {land (who is supposed to have tried the | diversiong of travel to heal a wounded heart) are stopping in Washington, D.

And who ever saw a Bru- | guiere do an ordinary thing?—whereat we should be grateful, for if all the world were made of ordinary people, doing or- dinary things, ye gods, what a maddenin, world this would be. . « e Herewith is a bit of dialogue overheard between Jack Wilson and a friend: Friend—Jack, what've yoy named ths baby? Mr. Wilson—Haven't named him yet. But I guess it'll be Dan. Call him Dan when you see him. He'll answer to that, all right. s s . : Frederick C. Greenwood, host ner on Wednesday In honor of Miss Frances Stewart, is looked upon as giving Major Stevenson a close run for the honor of being the most engaging beau in the smart set. Of course, there’s Wilberforce Williams, whose manners are said to be simply per- | tect, and whom every debutante is told | is a working model of a charming beau. | Angd there’s Eyre Pinckard, and Sidney at a din- debutanies—and married malds. So, if the story be true that Mr. Green- wood will set up his household gods else- where than about these environs—as ru- | mor so has it—why, there are other nice | fellows ieft. Still, not one can well be | spared, particularly when that one is as well equipped for life’s pleasures as is Mr. Greenwood. . . s Since Mrs. Arthur Watson's return from | abroad she has been living rather quietly, | apparently enjoying the home life that her beautiful mother, Mrs. R. H. Pease, ! chooses to lead—although it will be re- | membered that Mrs. Pease as Miss Ogden { was a great belle, and twenty years ago went about a great deal. : On Tuesday Mrs. Edna Middleton en- i tertained Mrs. Watson at a bridge party, when the following guests were enter- | tained: Mrs. Arthur B. Watson, Misses Marie and Rhoda Pickering, Miss Ruth Foster, Miss Gertrude Jolliffe, Miss Bes- slc Bates, the Misses Edith and Kathleen Bull, Miss Mabel Toy, Miss Bessie Mills, - Miss Ruth Casey, Mrs. William Humph- | reys, Mrs, Pickering, Miss Georgie Spiek- | er, Miss Mabel Watkins, Miss Florence Yates, Miss Fanny Brown of Portland, ers.

Another is Mrs. { M. H. de Young, who is wearing a long lcoat of the beautiful fur, the revers of which are faced with nce lace. | Mrs. Clem Tobin has becom- ing short coat of sable, trimmed with | ermine, and a sable turban to top it off. | /Other notdbly beautiful these nights at theaters and cafes are the| | ermine coats of Helen and Constance de | Young; the long chinc ban | jand muff of Mrs. Rudoly ! Mrs. Joe Tobin's and Mrs. Frederick Pal- | | mer's superb coats, one of sable and the :olh(—r of ermine. Rapidly are smart San Franciscans ri-| valing in splendor of dress the smart | women of New York—than whom no | women in the world are so chic, so well | groomed or so superbly gowned and be- | Jeweled and befurred. They have the grooming of the Viennese, the chic dainti- i ness of the Paris dded to polse | ., and that e f person- 1 call “style” of the American | an Franciscans'are rapidly closing up upon them. R The Assembly of Friday night was a | repetition of earlier successes, owing | largely to the enthusiastic interest of {Mrs. A. H. Voorhies and Mrs. Bowman | McCalla. Being not an o'erbusy week, all the| girls and girlies attended—those that are | going to dances this winter. February 27, And why Gras?—a stumes pvention But it's the next dance, that’s making such an ado. not, when it's to be a Mardi Mardi Gras as far as the date, and the temporary lapse of c { can make it. A Mardi Gras without the artists? That is something of a proposition, isn’t it?—King Carnival without a court of jester However, it's possible that some of the artists may yet rally round his glittering throne, as the guest list wili be expanded for the night of reveiry. This is a deci- sion of the patronesses, who will issue a limited number of invitations to friends outside the club. Already Assembly heads—and purses— are wrestling with the knotty problem of “what to wear'—a question of” eternal | feminine worry ever since Eve abandoned | the fig leaf. . . | On Thursday Mrs. Guy Scott, wite of Captain Scott, arrived from Vancouver Barracks to spend two weeks with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Alfred Hunter Voorhies. Mrs. Scott’s arrival completes the home circle that for many years had been dis- rupted—disrupted by Cupid and the for- t of war. Thus were Mrs. Malcolm Henry, Mrs. Thomas Bishep, Mrs. Guy Scott and Mrs. Haldimand P. Young, the quartet. of clever Yoorhies sisters, gathered together again -in the home nest, with a two weeks' heart-to-heart talk ahead of them. The visitors were guests at the Assem- bly ball on Friday night. »e e On Tuesday the Philomath Club gave a “husbands’ night,’” or an open meeting, which Is the same thing, as women love te lure the men to their clubs, wherein again they differ from men.

A pity Anna Held couldn’t have seen | her! . .. Dear old Fabbri-Mueller, she who cre- ated the role of Violetta in America, { who brought the first great grand opera company to San Francisco, whose fame was the. talk of the art lovers of two | continents—marveling have I read the tenderly treasured albums: of other days’ press notices—will be tendered a testimonial benefit on Tuesday night, the 26th, at Lyric Hall | * Her seventy-fifth birthday is the oe- | casion of the testimonial of this charm- ing old artist, who through years of stress has still retained the magnetism that brought the courts of Europe to i her feet. Many of the leading artists here- abouts have contributed their services i —among 'them Mrs. J. E. Bermingham —and it would be a prefty tribute to the appreciation of art if San Francis- cans would make the dear old lady's seventy-fifth birthday a | financial , as well as a social success. Many of Madame Mueller's former pupils, who have lost sight of her dur- | ing the passing years—which hawe mot | dealt o’erkindly with thelr well-beloved | teacher—will be glad to remember her | seventy-fifth birthday by attendi~g her j concert.

A Tuesday afterncon affair of promi- nence will be the tea in Miss Ruth Fos- ter’s honor, given by Miss Josephine Han- nigan. This fair maid has figured prominently fn San Francisco affairs for a winter or twe and only returned to her southern home a short time ago, Miss Foster making her pres: visit in order to be an attendant at the Oddie-Treanor wed- ding last Tuesday. Miss Hannigan belongs to the younger set and will not formally come out tilt next winter. but she has done much en- tertaining in her own little coterie and will receive a large number of callers in Miss Foster's honor next Tuesday at the Hannigan home on Van Ness avenue. P it Wednesday will see Miss Margaret Wil- son wedded to Lieutenant Franklin Bache Harwood and the event, though of im- portance, will be carrifed out with lack 4 ostentation. Trinity Church will hold the small num- ber of bidden guests to witness the cer- emany at 3:30, after which a reception to the bridal party only will be held at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. George 8.

Miss: Ethel Shorb will serve as the honored maid, with Miss Brent Wat- kins of Los Angeles, Miss Josephine Smith of Pittsburg and Miss Elsa Dra- per as bridesmalds. Lieutenant Peace will be served brother officers and all will wear military regalia. All soeiety deplores by full e necessity of a change of residence for this young bride, who will accompany her hus- band to the Philippines a few days after the wedding . Miss Emily Chickering, who has ’ the most widely feted bride-elect among Oakland’s inner eircle, will have further hospitality offered her this week. Next Thursday Miss Mabel Hogg will enter- tain at a luncheon in her Sacramento- street home, having biaden 1 several guests to greet Miss Chickering A coming bridge conclave that will embrace a large number of players will be given by Mrs. Joseph Anderson Chanslor on Tuesday, January 30.
