Albuquerque, July l5.-Mrs. Edmund
G.. Ross has returned after visit of sew
eral months to her daughter in Kansas.
The handsome ex-governor-who is al
ways a philos opher-looks as delighted
as though another grand-child had come
into the fold.
Albuquerque 10 to have half score of
weddings in the early autumn and some
of the very prettiest girls in the town will
be the brides. The betrothal of Miss
Belle Lewinson to Mr.. David Weinman
has been announced and the lovely fiancee
is having prepared an exquisite outfit.
Miss Lewinson is beautiful girl. She is
small but with perfectly moulded figure
which she carries with the proud grace of
a princess; her face sparkles with ANNA
ton and her girlish fairness is heightened
by faultess toilettes. Among all the aut-
umn brides there will be no sweeter one
than bonnie Belle Lewinson.
Mrs. Hope, wife of one of Albuquerque's
busiest and most efficient physicians, has
, taken baby Helen and gone into the
mountains for an outing. Mrs. M. A.
Thayer accompanied her.
Lillian, the winsome, happy daughter
of MIR. and Mrs. Edward Spitz, of Copper
avenue, entertained her little friends on
Monday afternoon from to S. 1t was
this tiny baby's 9Th birthday and many
were the congratulations she received
from her friends, both old and young.
John M. James, of Albuquerque, and
sophomore in Yale college during the
past year, was honored at the recent
commencement exercises by the an
nouncement by President Timothy
Dwight that the young gentleman had
earned the first mathematical sophomore
prize.
Mrs. G. N. Sterry, wife of Judge Sterry,
general counsel of tho A. & p, is again at
home in her beautiful residence on the
Highlands. This bright little woman
fits across the social sky of Albuquerque
like a dazzling meteor, lingering long
enough TO make her brilliancy felt but
not long enough to satisfy her many
friends.
Hon. W. B. Childers, who returned a
few days ago from Las Vegas hot springs
with well-defined case of rheumatism,
has so far recovered that he drives out
behind his handsome team of bays.
The Childers and Clancy summer home
among the Pecos hills is still unoccupied,
the strike playing smash with the arrange
ments of the two delightful families.
The imposing residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
M. w. Tourney is nearing completion
and there will be notable house warm
ing in the, late summer. Growing an
eminence on the eastern slope, it's towers
look down upon the town, the river and
the broad, fertile valley of the Rio Grande.
1t will be one of the loveliest homes in
New Mexico and presided over by a
family whose name is the synonym of
hospitality and good cheer.
Mrs. Mary Wilbur, of Cincinnati, Ohio,
who, before these lines are penned, has
probably passed away, was one of the
widest known and best beloved women
and teachers of the century. She and her
husband founded "Wilbur's seminary" on
Vine street in Cincinnati, more than half
a century ago, which was afterward
merged into the famous Wesleyan college.
She was woman of rare intellect; of the
sweetest, gentlest manners; the most ex-
allied character and possessed personal
magnetism which was irresistible. Among
her pupils we're hundreds who became
more or less famous in literature, in So
cial and charitable life. Mrs. Lucy Webb
Hayes was one of the early graduates
from the old seminary and Mrs. John
Davis-whose memory is celebrated year
ly in the Methodist charity socities-was
another. A number of New Mexico
women knew and loved Mrs. Wilbur and
will honor her memory, while every
woman in the United States will do her
reverence as one of the purest types OF
christian and intellectual excellence. H.
