To see Mrs Edward Townsend and Mrs.
Herman Oelrlchs lunching at the Woman'S
Exchange on Fifth avenue for a moment
glamored the scene and seemed to transport
1t to Suffer street. San Francisco. Mrs.
Townsend was such an active promoter OF
theWoman's Exchange in San Francisco that
itseemed "as natural as life" TO see her here,
Mrs. Florence Kenney had come in town
for shopping. and was also putting delicate
tid-bits out of sight in her dainty style.
The brownies" at the Exchange are
attracting such fattering attention that
Palmer Cox ought to be prouder than ever
of these quaint creations of his brain
They are made into quite captivating
dinner fsvors. They are done in sepia
and cut out like paper dolls. and they hold
In one hand cards shaped like hearts, tri-
angles, oblongs and so forth. The names
of the guests are written on the cards.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. LIE MOyne gave a
dinner-party In honor OF the kendals dur
ing their last visit to this country. The
dinner-favors were brownies" Mr. Ken
dal was given the dude. Neither OF these
bright tbeater people had heard OF ''the
brownies" and were immensely pleased
with "the quaint American conceits. -
When Mr.. and Mrs. Kendal departed for
England among their souvenirs OF America
were two brownie books. which they en-
ioyed with as keen appreciation as small
folk do "MOther Goose"
Mr.. and Mrs. Ertz, who have been resid-
Ing at the Holland House for some time,

Joy a delightful beliedom. They are attrac-

pretty MISS Mile Van Blarcom of Fruit
vale. is here visiting her relatives. OF re-
cent years she has lived In Portland, Or.
Mrs. Charles FishelPs friends In San

arm broken just above the elbow, and her
daughter. Miss Rose FiShel, was somew hat
bruised, and the whole parly's nerves were
more or less in need of recuperaton, but
they were none so desperately bad of" as
they were reported to be. Mrs, Fshell was
pot in the carriage at the time the accident
occurred. She had alighted to get soEe-
thing from the drugstore and the gentlemen
