After a lefsure tour through Ttaly, Germany, France and Syitzerland she will spend some time with Miss Peltzer. o One of the attractive hostesses of the week was Mrs. Bernard M. Breeden, who entertained at cdrds in honor of her debutante sister, Miss Helen Bliss Sul- livan. > Both the Sullivan girls have inher- ited the pulchritude of their father, Judge Sullivan, and of their mother, who was pretty Miss Bliss.® Another handsome woman was added to the family circle when Harry Sul- livan brought Miss Ivancovich home as his bride last winter. { . N Not more propitious for the propaga- tion of love was the forest of Arden I | -3 than is the deck of a ship on a long cruise. The latest conquest at hand—charged up to the propinquity of the promenade decks, the dreamy quiat out under the stars, and the deep reflection wrought by the limitless sea, with a pretty maid | alongside—was the winning of Miss Helen M. Davis by Delmar Smith, a clever young Harvard man and friend of Ay- lett Cotton and Johm Lewis, the two fiances of the Borel girls. Sterling féllows, these chaps, every one, and men who have set out pluckily to win their way by their own endeav- ors, backed by a good education and the will to use it. . . To-day the Sequoia Club will be “at home™ from 3 to 6. Music is announced—for such it, and most good Sequoians do, | some members there are—heathens, of course—who much prefer to slide off into the smoking-room or the tea room for a talk. But isn't talking artistically as ar- tistic as music or the other arts? Con- versation used to be classed thusly. But that was before the days of bridge Wwhist. One really doesn't need to talk nowadays in order to entertain. Cards do most of it, and refreshments do the rest. Somehow in the Sequoia there gather together a lot of people whose points of contact evolve many delightful hours. Many obstructionists in the club? Not many now. The club, like all new institutions, underwent the shaking-down process during the first two years of its exist- ence and is now solidly on its feet. The club’s rooms are frequented by some of the most interesting people in town—net, thank heaven, all fashioned body and spirit after the same old models. s love But . . . The Dustan-Peace wedding at Grace Church and the Wilson-Harwood nup- tials at Trinity on Wednesday kept things a-humming In society. The for- mer being an evening affair and the second. an afternoon function, the Buests who were bidden to both were enabled to make themi. Say what you will about the gew- gaws of army trappings—their tinsel and their silly glitter—but there's noth- ing gets hold of a woman's heart (with- out consulting her head) 80 guick as a soldier man in uniform. My! But Lieutenants ' Locke, Doe, Pulis and Selfridge looked stunning at Dorothy Dustan's wedding, as they led the way to the flag-draped altar. Of course, the groom was likewise in uniform, looking very brave in his reg- imentals, Major Stevenson was present, but not in uniform—alas! The bride and her party made as pretty a picture as Graece Church has seen in many nioons, Miss Josephine Smith of Washington, D. C., coming ll! for a large share of “swaps.” While not 8o pretty of feature as Elsa Draper, she is distinctively fine-looking, with a stunning figure, 4 The service was very impressive, as are all the Episcopal nuptial ceremo- nies; but the organ was very, very and irreverential, } up gruunt all through the service, an refusing - o i I g te desist until the choirmaster gave’it something definite .to do—the reces- sioral nymn—when {t behaved nicely. . . . Miss Margaret Spencer Wilsan made a ‘handsome bride, and as for her taste in tha selection of pretty bridesmaids, they four it is assuredly admirable. And were fetchingly gowned—these fair maids, Miss Marion Huntin Miss Ruth Allen, Miss Jessic Wi Miss Grace Llewellyn Jones. of whom Miss Jones was the regnant beauty. The Harwoods will remain in town while the McCulloch, to which Lieuten- ant Harwood is attached, is ordered elsewhere by the inconsiderate and wholly unsentimental Navy Depart- ment. ¥ae * The dinner given by Mrs. nor Martin to her chic daughter-in-law, Mrs. Peter, on Thursday night was quite the most sumptuous function given this winter by the dearest, hést grandniamma i town—for that she surely is. The Peter Martins are planning to build at Burlingame on their return from Newport, the home to contrast in type of urchitectare from ‘the Louis XVI mansion of the Walter Martins— the latter to go up upbn ome of the most advantageous spots in the holy precinets of the clect. L * * - “Please answer within g week” is the request inscribed a an invitation to a r function— which would scem tc indicate that a lot | of us are pretty bad mannered. That sort of thing a few years ago would have been considered an oifense, but it has grown te be customary with the smart stationers. To omit it is now to be odd, simply because we have grown callous to the civilities and courtesies that are supposed to distin- guish the goop from the gentleman— the dairy-maid from the lady. Are you a goop? Then be prompt in responding to your invitations. If you can't—or won't go— say so. And give your hostess a chance to invite friends who can and will go. . e Del Monte is in holiday dress these days, the rains having left the lawns and the great oaks above them with the de- licious gleam of early’ ing. Eastern visitors are ‘pouring in in un- usually large numbers, all 6f whom have paid visits to the near-by Old Mission en route, and who take intense interest in the old Carmel Mission, built in 1770 by Junipero Serra, and where the splendid old padre lies sleeping. A pity it is that it remains for Eastern people and Europeans to appreciate prop- erly the great heritage left us Califor- nians in those wonderful ,0ld missions— but the fact remains that such is the case. Isn't it a wonder that the commercial value of these fast decaying landmarks doesn’t appeal to Californians, if senti- ment and estheticism do not? e e To-day the wedding of Miss Son and Julius Mayer will take place at the home of the bride's parents, on Broadway. The guests will include only relatives and very near friends at the reading of the ceremony, though a reception will follow, to which are bidden many friends of the bride and groom. Miss Helen and Miss Blanche Son are to attend their sister as bridesmaids, Charles Son to stand with the groom. « s s Among the affairs in Monday's “date book are two of pleasant anticipation. Migs Sara Dean, who has been absent on a tour of the European continent for four years, is established in pleasant apart- ments at the Hotel Pieasaniun, waere she will receive to-morrow from 4 to 6. The return of Miss Dean is a matter of wide welcome, a large number of old friends to take advantage of to-morrow’'s opportunity in warmly greeting their hostess. Mrs, Gerrit Livingston Lansing will of- fer the blandishments of bridge alse to- morrow in her St. Dunstan’s apartments, a large number of cards having been is- sued. 5 wih e Mr. and Mrs. Frank Deering will be hosts at a dinner to-morrow evening in honor of Miss Grace Baldwin and her flance, RusseH J. Selfridge. These young people have a wide acquaintance- ship throughout society on both shores of the bay, and will recefve much entertain- ment before their marriage. « e Mrs. Joseph Anderson Chanslor will hostess one of the the week, her bridge rty on Tuesday MJ,-TQ to include a Mre.

Miss Elsie Tallant will preside for the evening. N Qakland’s star event for this week will occur on Wednesday evening when Miss Ethel Crellin 1 plight her troth to | Whipple Spear Hall. The handsome Crellin home on Alice street will be the scene of the nuptials, at which will be gathered the elite from both bay cities. A Crellin wedding is notable; those who attended the marriage of pretty i Laura to Robert Fitzgerald a few years ago have not forgotten the beautiful sur- roundings. The coming wedding will see the same careful attention to detail, and Miss Ethel will make a lovély bride. ~S a bridal retinue there will be Mrs. Robert Fitzgerald, matron of lionor; Miss Catherine Allén, Miss Charlotce Hall and Miss Bessie Reed, bridesmaids; Channing Hall, best man, with Stanley Crellin, Stanley Moore, Philip Wadsworth, Sey- mour Montgomery and Walter Barnheisel, ushers. Rev. St. John Scott of St. Andrews will read the Lpiscopal service.® + el Wednesday's calendar states that a charming luncheon will be hostessed by Mrs. Ernest Albert Stent in honor of our welcome visitor, Mrs. Haldimand Putnam Young, also that Mrs. Gustavus A. Boyer will entertain at a large bridge party at her home on Octavia street. In the evening many townfolk will wend their way toward the Presidio, where a jolly hop will engage the atten- tion for several hours. . s . teftain the debutantes and younger set of the Western Athens at a card party on Wednesday, at which affair she will especially honor Mrs. G, F.

Mrs. Thomas Benton Darragh will en- tertain several guests at luncheon in the Hotel Colonial, while the St. Francis has been chosen as the scene of a large lunch- Bernice Wilson. Mrs. Samuel Hubbard Jr., who came but a few months ago as the bride of an Oakland eligible, will be honored at an affair on Thursday evening by Mrs. Samuel Hubbard Sr., who is offer- ing cards as the evening’s chief motif. The young Austrian has made many friends since her arrival, her simplicity of charm winning all who meet her. 3 * e e Mrs. Emory Winship will entertain at bridge next Friday, bidding the the game. A second affair will take place February 9, when Mrs. Winship will receive those of the older set at the same pastime. . e . A meeting of the 'Albert Sidrey Johnston Chapter, U. D.

LONDON, Jan. —“When women like each other they kiss. When they love each other they do one znother's hair,” sald Lady Evans in a paper to members of the Numismatic Society of | London the other night. The lecturer | dilatea upon the subject of hair-dress- | ing as illustrated on old Roman coins. The men of the audience, who pre- dominated largely. never batted an eye when they heard that in ancient Rome the members of their sex occasionally were effeminate enough to cover their heads with nets of golden thread; that | they cut off their abundant locks as an offering to Neptune when overtaken by a storm at sea, and did not despise the vanity of false tresses; and that great Caesar affected his laurel wreath in season and out of season, because of the covering it afforded his scantily fur- nished poll. | But! when there was mention of sa fron dyes for woman's crown of glory, owing to a predileetion sweethearts then evinced for blond beauties, a flick- er of tolerant indulgence overspread their countenances. The women listeners speedily were convinced by excellent illustrations of the coins of the period that Lady Evans had chosen for her text that the foun- @ation of all the smartest -coiffures Paris has to offer is to be found on the money that circulated in ancient Rome. ‘When the heads of the goddesses and great women of those days were ex- hibited, it was shown the | Diana provides an example stately diadem affected only lately un der the more modern pseudonym of the “Marguerite Slatt,” and the knot or chignon ,above the nape of the neck of Cleopatra on the coin of the realm t{]l remains in use by the simple and refined all over Europe. —_———— Princess Ena Pleases Paris. PARIS, Jan. 27.—There was a full mustering of the Castellanes and the Gontauth-Birons in Paris at Jean Cas~ tellane's for the luncheon given to meet the future Queen of Spain, with Princes Henry and Alexander of Battenbers. Princess Ena impressed the company as a charming, unaffected girl. It Is sald that she confided to her guests that in changing religion officially she was ohly ylelding to a long cherished conviction. Of course the subject of | her approaching marrfage was not | touehed upon, but a conversation bringing | up the name of the King of Spain, the | Printess remarked frankly: | “Yes, it iIs pleasant to think that we Isha]l probably meet his Majesty this winter.” | —_—— Balle:.
