TESSIETATTLER'S GOSSIP
SHE TELLS A NUMBER OF INTER
ESTING SECRETS.
Several Engagements Heretofore IMAM
nounced.-Some Personal Gossip about
Well Known People.

'Tessie Tattler" has an amusing
letter printed in the Sunday World of
yesterday. 1t contains among others
the following paragraphs
Here is an item one will see in daily
papers in the very near future. "Mr.
and Mrs. Hancock Banning left yester-
day for Coronado on their bridal trip"
Didn't know the debonair Hancock was
betrothed? 1t all happened on yacht
ing trip around Catalina. Wouldn'tyou
all like to know who is to be Mrs. Han
cock Banning? Well, it is Miss Annie
Smith, one of the brightest and most
amiable young ladies in this city. Han
cock Banning is one OF the best fellows
In the world and is clever entertainer.
He is an ardent yachtsman and is the
owner of La Poloma, the speediest sloop
of the Pacific.
They say that the good-natured Will
liam Lacy, Jr., is engaged. 1t is whisp-
cred that one of the young ladies who
went on certain yachting trip, has prom
ised to say before many new moons that
she will love. honor and obey Mr.. Lacy.
The soon-to-be bride is young, pretty
and highly accomplished.
DON'T you know there is a regular
boom in engagements? Why the charm
ing and graceful Miss Elderkin has prom
ised to wed Percy Hoyle; 1 don't think
the wedding day has been set. Percy is
dashing and gentlemanly young fellow
and will make a kind and considerate
husband. He is a most Americanized
Englishman.
By the way pretty Miss Elderkin was
one of the party who went ON that cupid
Iy fatal yachting party.
Mrs. Tom Brown chaperoned the par
ty, and it is not too late in the season to
have another yachting expedition, and
wouldn't just like to be invited.
Who is the young married lawyer who
made such a stir at seaside resort?
Several of my acquaintance have asked
me that enigma. His wife is reported
to be in the east, hence his outing the
sea shore.
Charming young widows have had
quite an inning at the various seaside
resorts. A dashing young Angeleno
paid marked attention to one at Santa
Monica, but must not tell tales out of
school.
Los Angeles theatre-goers must re-
member Mrs. Padelford, the rather
fascinating young woman who essay
ed leading roles for Harry Wyatt's En-
glish opera company. She obtained
some notoriety before she left the land
of orange groves, therefore the following
squib from New York society paper
will be read in wonderment by many of
our leaders of the fashionable world:
''It is interesting to see that Newport
has taken Mrs Padelford into its en-
brace. There was at the beginning of
&l, nj ir,to ha
part of the dictators to rebuke theyoung
woman by keeping her at arms length,
but Immediately following some comment
of mine on the subject, Mr.. McAllister
and his people went out with nets to
capture the lady for their festivals. As
Mrs. Padelford, by the provisions OF her
divorce decree, receives very generous
portion of her wealthy eX-husband's in
come, she is enabled to keep up very
fine figure before the world, and at Mr..
McAllister's fancy feeding fete on Mon
day she looked and acted one OF the hap
piest of all the assembled jewellers.
Miss Dickerson, who was the reigning
belle at Santa Monica this, season is
engaged. The lucky man is none other
than the good-looking Ben Ward, whom
everybody knows. Miss Dickerson is a
blonde and is as pretty as apicture, and
is also best with divine form. Miss
Dickerson, am told, came here from
Kansas City.
The wedding OF Miss Jennie Bell and
DIR. Dukeman has been set for next
month. Miss Jennie was born in Los
Angeles and certainly upholds the repu-
tation of Los Angeles as the home OF
pretty girls.
What horrid bathing suits most of the
young ladies affect at Santa Monica and
Redondo! Why, Miss Sallie Miles is
the only young lady who appeared this
season in becoming costume. 1t was
the envy of all the girls at Santa Monica.
/ should like to know why Sam Dewey
does not become Benedict? Ed. Tufts
is liable to be next on the list, and that
charming young Hoosier who once af-
fected sash, is quite likely to surprise
his friends one of these bright days.
A young disciple Of Blackstone, whose
name cannot now recall, is here from
Kentucky to wed the beautiful Miss
O'Bear The young gentleman resided
here in the boom days.
