It was this serious businéss that brought the young son of Sir Thomas and Lady Hesketh (Florence Sharon) | bere from England last week, accom- | panied by his relatives, Fred Sharon | from Paris, and Congressman Newlands | from Washington, D. C., and chaper- oned ‘by his mother’s solicitor, H. L. | Wright. | The Heskeths have always main- | tained two fine establishments in Eng- {land, the most imposing being Easton | Neston Hall, in Northamptonshire, where some of the smartest entertain- | ments in the kingdom have been given. | It was here, indeed, that the former belle of San Francisco entertained the | King as house guest, when he was be- |loved as the merry Prince of Wales. | | It is said that Easton Neston will| no longer be the scene of gayeties—in so far as the Heskeths will promote them—as it is up for lease. With com- | mendable adaptability to circam- | stances, Lady Hesketh has taken the lesser of the hereditary mansions, Ruf- | ford Hall, which her abridged San Fran- cisco income will more nearly fit.

Mrs. Waterhouse and Mrs. Borne have made a two years’' tour of the world, having spent the winter in Paris. They will occupy the town house of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. A. Waterhouse at 3834 Ciay street, and will be at home Tuesdays. . . . Miss Lutie Colller left last Saturday for her home on Clear Lake, accom- panied by her sister, Mrs. Atherton Macondray, and the wee Macondrays. | without doubt one of the most pictur- | esquely situated homes in the West. Such a lake as that in any European country would be the wonder of the continent. Visions of its glistening waters, rip- pling away tdo the fringed forests ‘at |its rim, are beautiful to recall, here amid the blackened ruins of the town. . “ . The newly wedded Afongs are due | here very soon, en route to Honoluluy, | where the wealth of the Afongs assure them a life of Oriental comfort and | case. 3 An interesting chap is this young Afong, Albert Fayerweather, who, like his charming sisters, has wedded an American. Mr. Afong, who is a recent graduate of Harvard, met his bride, Miss Eliz- abeth Whiting of Davenport, Ia., while visiting her uncle, Rear Admiral Whit- ing, at Honolulu, And the wedding of May 3 is the sintéresurg denouement. It will be remembered that Rear Ad- miral Whiting, some fifteen years ago, wedded the ielder sistér of young Al- bert Fayerweather, so in the recent marriage there will be none of the strain of getting acquainted with a raft of new relatives—a thing of joy in itself. . . Among the young' matrons who pluckily stayed in town to do_her part of the humane work was Mrs. Joseph B. Duggan, whose home at 2027 Pacific avenue was open to the host of friends, who were in pecks of trouble. . . . Stanley Moore and his stunning young bridé, Marlon Goodfellow, are passing their honeymoon at Yosemite, where hard luck stories are forbidden by law-—of nature. When ‘the Moores see fit to réturn home they will live for a time with the bride's parents in Oakland, where, too, the Hugh Goodfellows will abide. . . Daily receptions are held—in undress uniform--at all the railway stations from Sausdlito to San Rafael, where everybody sees everybody else that hiked over the bay when things got too hot in town. - Among those on the Marin side are wie James Coker i.ms, Miss Blythe Mc- Donald, Miss Georgie Spieker, Mrs. Clement Bennétt, the Clarence Martin Manns, Mr. and Mrs. D.
