- Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger, noted alike
Tor literary and millinery successes, wore a
small hat with a brown felt crown and a
white brim; it, trimmings were brown vel
vet and white wings.

deal of room to talk about bonnets, but thew

the head in front, and another is turned up
at the back, where the ribbons or aigrettes

Was Miss Louise D. King before her mar
rage. She is q graduate of Clarke's Insti-
tute. once fashionable school, but now no
more.
Her father, II. D. King, is an old Call
fornan. prominent member of Califo rnia
Commandery, No. /. Knights Templar, and
will be remembered as once leading con-
tractor and builder of the Palace Hotel.
While experimenting the erection of that
vast pile Mr.. King met with an accident
which almost cost him his life. He was in
tn courtyard one day, when coil of rope
fell from the top floor and, striking him on
the head, felled him TO the ground. He be-.
came part ally paralyZed from the shock,
from which he has never entirely recov-
cred Mrs. Underhill being the youngest
of large family, is the special favorite of
her father, to whom she naturally is much
devoted, her mother having died nearly
four years ago.
Mrs. Underhill is the mother of two in-
teresting children, and for the sake of the
health of the family the Underhills have
recently moved TO East Oakland. Mrs. J.
K. Latham, the widow Of the well-known
stock-broker, is Mrs. UnderhilI's sister.
Mrs Underhill has sweet and lovely
disposition and has always taken working
interest in the affairs OF the First PIesby-
terrain Church of this city.

Belongs to our younger set of matrons. She
was married about ten years ago in st.
Luke's Church to the agreeable and worthy
young man who is her husband. She is the
representative of one of the "old Califor-
MAN" families. of which old Mayor Van Ness
was the founder in the early days.
The mother of Leslie Van Ness was
Miss Williams of Oakland, the sister of
Mrs. Eph Clement, the son of Joseph Gle
ment of this city.
Her father was the only son of Mayor
Van Ness. Mrs. f. McCoppin NEE Eliza
Van Ness is Mrs. de Ruyter's aunt. 1t
for her grandfather that Van Ness avenue
was named, that magnificent street having
been planned and laid out by Mayor Van
Ness and his confrere, Tom Hayes of Hayes
Valley fame. Both OF these gentlemen
owned considerable property in the portion
of the city to which they have given their
names. On Hayes street. near Van Ness,
opposite tile Jesuit Church, stands the old
Van Ness mansion. This was not its orig
inal site, but during some of the changes
which have taken place during decade or
so the old house was moved to its present
place.
Few young ladies in San Francisco
have family history so bound up with that
of the city as Leslie Won Ness, now Mrs.
John de Ruyter.

Is the eldest daughter of our well-known
citizen, merchant and eX-Snpervisor, j. b.
Stetson. She is tall and stately demi-
blonde, with a fine figure. attractive face
and great cordiality of manner. She was
always very popular in society and had
hosts of friends. The elegant StetSon resi-
dence, on the corner of Van Ness avenue
and Clay street. has been the scene of many
a gay and festive occasion. for the Stetsons
know how to entertain right royalty. MISS
Sallie Stetson, before she became Mrs.
Winslow, gave many a charming lunch
party to her young friends. Her marriage
took place few years ago and she has well
filled the position Of young matron. The
portrait of her handsome husband, Chauncey
r. Winslow, appeared in these columns
few months ago. Together they make
striking couple. Mrs. Winslow has always
from her girlhood taken an active interest
In charitable projects. and she is valued
member in several of our Leading charities
at present. She is much taller and more
commanding in appearance than her sister,
Mrs. Oxnard, and may be said to resemble
her brother A Albert somewhat.

and its wide plaits fall direct from the
shoulder seam. The collar has narrow
fur bordering.
The tailor dress shown with it is very
good illustration of the autumn style. 1t is
a soft and light but rough and hairy
wooden. paided in brown and gray, which
is curious but fashionable mixture, eSpe-
cially when, as in this instance, both gray ana
brown have pinksh tone. The coat put
tons diagnnally and the shirt is edged with
a deep d0uuce, with brown rOsettesto diver
silly its heading.
The third Illustration gives examples Of
some of the new bodice adornmentS. Epau-
lets have spTcad themselves until they have
become little capes about the shoulders.
Basoues have transformed themael prac-
t1callv into overskirts, and it seems probable
that in the near future we Shall have grad
uated series of overdlesseS, each one few
inches shorter than the one below and all

A second evening toilet is of maize-cOlored

There are added basques of guipure, which
open back and front, and short draped

Now that the city is filling up again, the
hat of the autumn is to be observed at the
theaters. 1t seemed 10 me last evening per-

and sings one of the songs Of his native
land Mrs. Barkan's face is study; the

Mira. Barkan is slight little woman with
pale face, light hair and lovely blue eyes.
She is not much above medium height and

ALONG THE RAIL.
A New Route Into the City-Through Pas
senger TRAFFIC.

A New Route Into the City-ThrOugh Pas
senser Traffic.
Work has Teen commenced on tine change
in the route into the city by the Coast Di
vision Of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and
the old entrance via Valencia street will be
abandoned, at least by the through trains
The new route will be to the right of the
San Bruno hills, and will branch off from
the main line lelOw Baden, in San MateO
County. The new track is already being
laid along the level land, but before the road
can be completed two immense tunnels must
be eXcavGted through the intervening hills.
The terminus Will still be at Fourth and
Townsend streets, as now. Inc change
cuts of from the main line the town of
Colma in San Mateo County, Ocean View
in this county, the Industrial School and
the House OF CORRECTION, but Il is also pos
sble that the old road will not be entirely
abandoned, and that an accommodations
train viii be run once day between this
city and COlma. Among the reasons for the
change are that the new road will he almost
level and the distance will be shortened
materially. The grade over the present
road is very heavy, and both in coming into
the city and going out OF 1t two engines are
required on all the heavy trains 1t ia also
understood that great improvements will be
made in Baden. An immense canal will be
built to the deep waters of the bay, and it
pany to handle the bulk Of its freight ship
ments from that point.

The Santa Fe Company has lately ar
ranged a series of excursions between Bos-

iuaugurated after much advertising of the

people came in on this, the first excursion.
Some of them stopped at Los Angeles, while
the others came on here. They came through

about some dresses Mrs. Aston has Just re-
ceived from the other side of the water to
replace very probably in her closets and her
affections the famous but not at all beauti-
full two on which she refused to pay the
customs duties.
One is an evening dress of pale green
brocade, the front cut in long point, the
back ending in q narrow pointed train.
There is an underdress Of white tule, Dor
dered with a ruche and founce and caught
with white plumes. The top Of the low
bodice is cut in points over more tulle The
description sounds very simple, and indeed
the toilet is simple in design and not espe-
cially graceful. 1t may SAVIOR of blasphemy
to whisper it. but Mrs. Astor seldom chooses
a thing which is graceful in cut or excep-
tionaly good in color; the beauty of her
toilet is always in the wonderful richness of
the material.
