New YORK, Feb. 27.-The wedding last
Wednesday of a California girl to an Aus
trian nobleman is still the talk of the San
Franciscans in this city The wedding was
that Of the pretty, accomplished and alto
gether charming Miss Ella Haggin to Count
Festities de Volna. The wedding took
place at the home of the brides parents, II
West Tbirty-fourth street.
Little Edith Lounsberry, q dainty little
miss of 10. with dark brown eyes and golden
brown hair, was the bridesmaid. She wore
a picturesque gown of white Sclienne silk
and lace. She is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. II. ?. LOunsberry formerly Edith
Haggn, one Of CaifMnia's most fascinating
daughters. The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Haggin, although not impOsingly
large, is very charming. The drawing-rOom
Is hung with rich yellow br0cade, which
contrasts effectively with the rare old Chip
pendae furniture, upholstered in soft blue
brucaded satin. The ceiling is covered
with a handsome piece of old tapes
try. The charm Of this interesting
home is that although it has exquisite
works of art and dainty bric-a-brac it has
not the "stuffy" air of a retail store of an
tiQue treasures that characterize a number
of handsome New ork homes DR.. Henry
L. Tevis was the best man at the we'd
ding, and anumber of San FTancscans were
among the wedding guests; so although
the marriage was c. lebrated in New \ ork
il was after all a California affair. The
Count is rich as well as titled His income
is said to be $4,000 year.
The FurOre.
Although it was not Californian that
created the furOT in the ranks Of the famous
4O0-that has brought Ward McAllister be-
fore the New York world in a ridiculously
conspicuous light lately--Still one Of the
leaders of the fashionable world who adorls
a Well-knOWn Californian name really IN
spired the debate. For a month or so about
$50 of the deniZens Of the beau monde have
been giving ''cotillOn dinners" There were
five leaders Of these dinner c0rps-Mrs.
Ogden Mills, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Mrs. Frederic Bronson, Mrs. Bradley Mar
tin and Mrs. Lloyd Bryce.
These FIVE brilliant entertainers decided
to give dinners upon the same night, and
for pOst-Drandial pleasure to 90 in dinner
corps 10 one of the palatiaI homes 80 dance.
Sometimes the after-dinner dance was en-
joyed at Mrs. Vanderbilt's or Mrs. Ogden
Mills, who gave one of the most charming
that has been given this winter la her very
elegant home, which is finely appointed for
such entertainments. One, Of course, has
the privilege Of inviting whom she wishes to
dinner, and none OF her legion OF friends
should feel sighted, but TO be excluded
from q dance or a ball is enough TO pque
the pride CT any OF the pleas re-lOyerS.
These five clever women thought they had
discovered the golden mean of . perfect
pleasure when they decided upon the dinner
dance. Although the dinner dance is ten
years old or more, Ward McAlister gave a
resplendeut one several years ago that he IS
trying to make matter OF history. Ihls
form of entertainment has been INDUCED in
more exclusively this winter than is usual.

had drtftCd into a ctub-llke spirit Of bon
camaTadere decided 10 Keep up their eX-
elusive pleasUrlngs during the winter by
giving C-I.!cu nner5. ME Ward Neal
lister, the social leader, was left out OF these
affairs.
A Pleasant Duty.
It was my pleasant duty to interview him
for an evening paper and he exclaimed
after discussing dinners that people who
wished to be exclusive gave dinners and
those who wished to be Internally exclusive
gave cOtillon-dinnerS." There mus5 have
been something fiery in that word Infer
nally," tor it started controversy with the
social leader and his hosts that's going yet
like a house afre. Mrs. Ogden Mills whose
mother is Mrs. Maturin Livingston, of fine
old Livingston prestige, the gOsSlpers say,
inspired these cOtilOn dinners. This may
be so, for Mrs. Ogden Mills is a charming
hostess, with aplOmb, savOir faire, and has
the social genius to inspire and carry off
with eclat entertainments of a brilliant and
exclusive nature. Although Mrs. Mills is
not a Californian. she bears a name hOnOred
in the Golden State, and if she were not as
interesting as she is herself she would be
attractive because OF it.s
