California Club, hostess at & large re- ception in honor of Mrs, Sarah §. Platt- Decker Mrs. William Penn Humphreys, one of the hostesses of last week, has just begun | to go about a bit, her husband’s family | having been in mourning for the pass- [ ing of the beautiful Miss Humphreys. | As Paula Wolff, Mrs. Humphreys was | exceedingly popular in her set, but it was not here that she shone best—it was in | her charities, in her personal efforts to | lighten the load of the heavy-laden. And, | indeed, it's here that every girl—in or ouf | | of soclety— shows at her best. And it's | the only way yet discovered to escape the | weariness—the cloy—that comes of de- | voting one’s entire time to soclety. This unsatisfaction—which is not dis- | satisfaction—is the penalty God exacts | for selfishness, and there's no escape from | it but through work—work of some kind and In interest in others, principally in those less fortunate. R One of the handsomest women in Jewish soclety in San Francisco is Mrs. Edward Sydney Rothschild, who, since her mar- riage, has lived at the Palace. Here she lives rather quietly, entertaining occa- slonally in smart fashion.

This forsaking the home-nest always brings with it many pangs of pain, but what a joy is the home coming! Mrs. Guy Scott, by the way, returns to town in a few weeks. a8 e The reception at San Jose on Wednes- | @ay night, given in honor of Mrs. Sarah Platt-Decker, Mrs. Joslah Evans Cowles, 'u.nd the other State officers of the Fed- eration of Clubs, was a stunning affair— loads of nice men—and as smart a lot of women a8 it has been my pleasure to be- hold {n many a moon. And the Vendome was dressed up in sumptuous fashion. Heavy tribute was laid upon the orchards round about, and if apples are scarce next year you can lay it to the federation reception. In the matter of gowns, not smarter have been geen this winter at any func- tion here in town—but why not?—San Jose is quite as cosmopolitan now as the metropolis. . L. Mrs, George Law Smith’s tea was one of the most delightful affairs of the week, the betrothal of Miss Maud to Charles Cushing Hoag stamping the affair with a gayety not often a symp. tom of a tea. The tea was given primarily to honor of Miss Burkhartdt of Santa Moniea—a stunning looking girl, by the way. . . The Union League Club, chaperoned by its handsome president, George C. Pippy, will entertain its ladies at a cafe chantant on Valentine night—an affair that promises to be very gay. cafe chantants sometimes are, and— But, of course, the personality of the debonalir president preludes stagnation. e .

Anderson will be a bridge hostess on Tuesday at the St. Francls. St . . The next Presidio hop will take place Tuesday evening, with the usual attend- ance from town adding its number to the military contingent. These affalrs are vastly attractive, always commanding at- tention from a large number of town girls. « o . A wedding is presaged for Wednesday when Miss Jane Sandman will plight ber troth to Barclay Henley Jr., the ceremony to take place quietly at the bride’s home. . e o= Mrs. Arthur Barry Watson (Maylita Pease) will be the recipient of much at- tentlon next Wednesday at a bridge party to be given in her honor by Mrs. Douglas Sloane Watson. The affair will include a large number of guests. PR The home on Scott street of Mrs. Joseph Vincent de Laveaga will be filled with several hundred callers on Wednesday, who are bidden to & tea from 3 to & o’clock. The important affair of the week on the Oakland side will be the wedding of Miss Bmily Chickering and John Overbury, when the First Congregational Church will be filled with friends and guests of the couple who are so widely known and who have been so continually feted since the announcement of their engagement. Very elaborate details. are in prepara- tion and the wedding will be memor- able.

Several hundred witnessed the service, which was performed by Rev. George Maxwell, assisted by Rev. H. H, Howitt of the Mill Valley Church of Our Saviour. The little edifice was unusually pretty in its dressing of greens and blossoms, St. Joseph lilles and white fruit blos- soms adorning chancel and altar, while woodwardia ferns were abundantly placed about the church. The bride, in a gown of white messaline satin, was most attractive. her long tulle vell being fastened with a coronet of orange blossoms, and she carrled a| shower houquet of white carnations. Mrs. Emmet Rixford, as matron of honor, wore a pale lavender crepe de chine with a yoke of handsome lace over cloth of gold. Mis; Emma Grimwood and Miss Fran- ( ces Reed, whn served as brides- malids, were prettily gowned in white embroidered chiffon, carrying En- chantress carnations. Rev.

Eighteen were bid- den to the dinner, after which the number was greatly reinforced by arrivals for the del\cc. ~ e e " The F. W. Hopkins home on Califor- 'nia street was well filled with the smart set last Tuesday, when that trio of attractive sisters, Mrs. Augustus Taylor, Mrs. Willlam H. Taylor Jr.and Mr%.

PARIS, -Feb. 10.—The committes of Paris students which ia organising the annual mid-Lent procession of market queens has formed the idea of inviting representative young women from Lon- don, who shall be elected as “queens of the markets,” to take part in the Pari festival. Last year the committee In vited to the carnival the mark “queens” from Turin and M¥an, In Italy, and they were sent to Paris with the maids of honor by a local Italtan committee, which raised the mecessary funs. The Italian girls w foted sumptuously and the visit was so great a success that in view of the emtente cordiale several members of the organ- izing committee think it ‘would an excellent idea to invite young and pretty English market women from London. The oniy difficulty is that the committee learn that there are not market carnival festivals in London and consequently no market “queens,” and they would therefore have ta be specially elected.
