SOCIAL HAPPENINGS.
A QUESTION WHICH IS EXCITING
SOCIETY PEOPLE.
A Most Successful Entertainment Given
by the Welsh Colony-Notes of Other
Interesting Events.

Interesting Events.
Are they married? that is the ques-
tion over which society circles, or at
least some of them, are all broken up.
The they of that interrogation consists
of two young people we'll known in
Los Angeles society. The one is the son
of wealthy business man of this city,
young man who has the reputation OF
having been somewhat swift, and the
other is the brightest young woman in
the swim. The two have been mutually
devoted for some time. Some months
ago he went east, and in few days she
followed. There was no secrecy about
this; both families knew that the Jour
ney was to be made. The two returned
almost simultaneously, and soon after a
rumor started, from no one knew where,
to the effect that she had married him,
but that the affair was to be kept secret
until he got firmer clutch on some of
papa's good dollars. If they are mar
ried it is of course only their own busi-
ness, and if they are not why their
many friends hope soon to have chance
OF offering congratulations.
wELsH ENTERTAINMENT.
One of the best entertainments ever
gotten up by the Welsh people of this
city, was given in the lecture room of
the First Presbyterian church, last
Tuesday evening. The room was COM
fortably filled with an appreciative au-
~f lck ~fk IT,
lish speaking friends. A fine pro-
gramme, consisting of music and recita-
tions. was rendered to the satisfaction
leadership of j. Morris, showed good
training, and rendered the choral num-
bers in very creditable manner. Mrs.
J. G. Cribb, the accompanist, also con-
tributed greatly to the success and en-
joyment Of the occasion by the spirited
and faultless manner in which she rem
dered her part of the programme, which
was as follows: Welsh chorus, Nant y
Mynydd, choir; address by the chair
man, Rev. D. Hughes; piano solo,
Tripping Through the Daisies, Winnie
Llewellyn; recitation, Be Cheerful,
Dassah Thomas trio. Little Farm Well
Titled, Pugh, Llewellyn and Hum
phreys; violin and piano duet, selec-
ton from Bohemian Girl, d. E. Llew-
ellyn and Mrs. A. G. Summers; recita-
tion, The Origin of Whiskey, Eliza Will
liams Awake Eolian Lyre, choir; piano
solo, Souvenirs de Mississippi, Maggie
Pugh; recitation, Old Hundred, May
Hughes; vocal solo, True Till Death, j.
Morris; violin solo, Silvery Waves. D..
E. Llewellyn; vocal medley. Morris,
Pugh, Thomas and Evans; Welsh reci-
tation, Taw Pia hi Boys, HI. Jones !;
hymn, Marseillaise (Welsh), choir
address, w. T. Williams; quartette,
Good Night, May and Frances Hughes,

strength OF the Welsh in Los Angeles Is
small, but the result of the last enter
tainment shows what the few can do
when they earnestly try, and the sue
cess they have so far met with should
encourage them to greater efforts the
next time.

man fair, at Turner hall. was well rem

WILL THERE BE DUEL?
Society is just now busily engaged in
discussing the latest sensation. A
young capitalist, formerly king of the
baseball business, and the son of a
wealthy banker, furnished the food fol
gossip. According to all reports these
young men are rivals, and have not
spoken for year or more. Yesterday
the two met and indulged in battle
in accordance with the London prize
ring rules. They both displayed con-
siderable fistic knowledge, and were in
a good way to make each other non-pre-
sentable Tor several weeks, when friends
interfered. Precisely what led up to
