Some women are born hostesses, just as some are born actresses, some scrib- blers and some musicians. And in truth is the born hostess the rarest of all these types, since in the role are needed all the qualities that go to make up the other roles, cemented to- gether with tact. Such a woman is Mrs. George C. Carr, whose personality has won her hosts of friends from end to end of the country— TWO SMART MAIDS AND CLEVER MATRON WHO IS A SUCCESS AS TESS. ATHO® _— and wherever the Unlon Jack assaults the breeze, for she is especially popular with the navy set. Most of the year Mrs. Carr has spent at her country home near Hanford, but eince coming to town, a month ago, she bas been having a beautiful time. Her apartments at the Buckingham on Monday afternoon were very gay, the Buests overflowing into the drawing-room and dining-room of the hotel in response to her second *day at home.” Those who assisted Mrs. Carr in re- celving were Mrs. Wade Jolly of Mare Island, Mrs. Charles P. Weeks, Mrs. H. A. Evans of Mare Island, Miss Eliza- beth Bender, Mrs. James C. Jordan, Mt Adele Kinney, Mrs. Edgar Bryant, M Lilewellyn, Mrs. John Stafford, Mrs. Wal ter Holcombe and Miss Stafford. % d . . A type of a well-born girl who doesn't need to proclaim the fact by re- citing the litany of her genealogy is Miss Helen Swift Balley, daughter of Mrs Norms and niece of the beautiful Mrs. John F. Swift. . A perfectly mannered girl is Miss Balley, well poised and charming, and & rebuke to some other maids I know that attend the same amark functions. Her attitude toward the world and the people in it is the attitude of what the world used to call that of a “lady now almost an obsolete term. Soctety would be muchly it more smart girls modeled their manners after the same pattern—although it must be confessed that the pattern is looked upon now as somewhat obsolete. PR adorned Miss Charlotte Elsey, the fiancee of Charles Heatley, is an Oakland mald in much favor with the social set. Her com- Ing marriage has been the motif for much entertainment of late, Oscar Luning re- cently giving a charming affair for her. Miss Elsey is a sister of Mrs. W. Par- ker Lyon of Fresno, who, as Clara Elsey, was one of the favoriie maids in Oakland soclety a few years ago. CERCT The Galety Club had a merry time on Tuesday night—or, what is the same thing, the maidens fair thought they had. It would seem, though, to a crude ob- server, that the same batch of girls would grow a-weary of each other’'s com- pany. That they don't—or don't seem to —is evidence that they are pretty well blended. Lucky chaps, they who are bidden to this exclusive dance! And aside from the exhilaration of dancing with this pretty covey of malds, the invited men may consider themselves the “eligibles” of the town, for haven't they been balloted for and duly elected to be thus honored? The cotillon was opened by the two swaggerest chaps in the swim—Wilber- force Willlams and Wharton Thurston, both of whom are acknowledged ex- quisites. LR ‘The Sequoia Club made merry on Thurs- day night, when Barnett Franklin told the members a few truths about them- selves—in poesy. No ‘arrests followed. Mrs. Frances Nourse Nunan had the programme in charge, which proved to be one of the KB.YGI! of the new year. . . The mext stunt of importance will be the Colonial dance in honor of George ‘Washington's birthday, when,, besides the 4 B 73 < dance, other things will happen that will segregate the quick from the dead. Frs TR Yesterday Lieutenant and Mrs. David Trezzi left for their future home in Rome, where the young Itallan officer will join his regiment. No prettier American girl ever invaded Rome, and surely none received more homage than Bernadette Robinson. it was not strange that she elected to re- main there, her heart having found its| mate In the charming young military man, who so industriously sued for it. Mrs. Robinson will remain in San Francisco for the present, but her friends | doubt her ability to long remain away from Mrs. Trezzi, and would not be sur- prised to hear of a sudden hegira to Rome. Miss Mollle Phelan will entertain to- morrow at a large tea in honor of Miss Alice Dunne of Boston. Miss Dunne, who with her mother, is the guest of the Francls Sullivans, has received much so- cial attention since her arrival {n San Francisco. and to-morrow’s affair will gather many_ callers at the Phelan home on Valencla street. . el Mrs. E. Walton Hedges has sent invi- tations for a bridge party to be held to- morrow in her apartments at the Pleas- anton. 8 Ce Tuesday night will bear the festive air | of a grand opera season with the opening | cancert of Mme. Gadskl at the Majestic. Several box parties have been formed, | and society will be present to hear the glorious songbiyd, who claims many friends within the local smart set, aside from the music lovers who bow at her shrine of fame. P +" % Affairs military never fail to arouse in- terest, especially among the dancing sets, and these are to have a special feast of pleasure next Tuesday evening, the Twenty-second Infantry will be host at Angel Island. Boats from Washing- ton street wharf at 7 o'clock will stop at the army posts, arriving at the island by 8:30, for which hour the dance is named. . s . The wedding of Miss Isabel Lathrop and Norman Wright will interest a large number of society people on Wednesday, although the ceremony will exclude all but a few intimates besides the fami- Ues. The marriage will take place in the apartments of the bride’s sister, Mrs, Ives, at the Uo.lonx:x. Two out-of-town weddings claiming local attention are those of Miss Hilder- ! garde McKenna and John Leggett Pulz in Washington, D. C.; and Miss Hortense Cecilia Childs and Major Pratt Reynolds in Los Angeles. The first affair will be performed with pomp Ana | when | Frederick | befitting the osition > of this spring, will be Los Angele: the rooms or the ceremony and re from town and Meriwether lker of Fort who will serve as best man, and Major William Steph- enson. Bridge parties for the ing Wed- nesday are to be by Mrs. 4] M. A. Miller, whose second affair this is and by Mrs. F Hen shaw, who al tables at the Miss Elizabeth Huntington, who has | announced wedding lay to March w the g of honor next Thursday at a large tea.

The luncheaqn to Miss Alice Sprague given by Mrs. Gustavus Browne last Tuesday combined many pretty designs | In the decorator's art, a dainty effect | being obtained by the arrangement of silver gauze with pink tulle mingled | gracefully with asparagus fern and hyacinths. Those bidden to greet Miss Sprague, who IS to becdme the brids | of Percy Willlams on the 37th, were: Mrs. Robert Greer, Mrs. Grayson Dut ton, Mrs. Ferdinand Stephenson, Mrs. Thomas Benton Darragh, Miss Maye ‘}Colburn, Miss Edith Young and Miss | Virginia Belknap. | . . .

The Fife home on California street was- prettily decorated, acacia striking the keynote.
