The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-06

Itlooks as though there would be more than
the usual number OF weddings during the
autumn days that will elapse before the be-
ginning OF the season in town. In fact nearly
all the choice dates are taken during the mid
die and remainder of October, and for the first
week in November No postponements have
been announced.
Among the weddings announced for the i'm
mediate future is that of Miss Holbrook,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Holbrook,
and Samuel Knight.
Mr.. knights grandfather was Judge Fletcher
NJ. Haight OF the Southern District of Cali
forniR; so the late Governor H 81. Haight was
an uncle. His father was manager of Wells,
Fargo & Co.'S Bank. His brother, Robert
Knight, married Miss Chabot, daughter of Mrs.
Renie Chabot of Oakland. Mr.. Knight is
graduate of Yale College, and a prominent
member OF the University, Burlingame, Olympic
and Friday Night clubs. He was associated
with Myrick d Deering in law until appointed
Assistant United States District Attorney, and
is a Native Son. The bride comes from an old
family, which has been identified with the
business and social history of the State and
United States back TO colonial days. The we'd
ding at the First Presbyterian Church, which
is set down for Tuesday next, will undoubtedly
bring together q very notable asSemblage of
people. Dr.. Mackenzie will perform the eere-
mony, amid decorations of palms, ferns and
roses Mrs. Knight is on the way from Europe,
and Fletcher knight, brother of the young
attorney, is coming from New York to attend
the ceremony, which takes place at $50
O'Clock. Admission to the church by card only.
Last evening Mr.. Knight gave his farewell
bachelor dinner to his best man and the six
ushers, F. L. Owen, Donald Y. Campbell, Frank
P. Deering, H. VI Holbrook, E. II. Sheldon,
H. B. Houghton and E. NJ. Greenway, at the
University Club, which was very beautiful af-
fair.
D. Following next comes the wedding of Miss
MeCutchen. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Z. j.
McCutchen, and Mr.. E. G. Schmiedell, on
Wednesday,, October 10, al high noon, at
Grace Church. 4 large number of invitations
have been issued to the church and wedding
breakfast at the home of the brides parents
viii follow. Quite a number of dinners have
been given recently in their honor.
There viii be no Saturday night class at
Lunts this season, but in its place will be
given the Friday Fortnightlies," dances IN
der the management of Mrs. Lloyd Tevis Mrs.
Monroe salisbury, Mrs. Gordon Handing and
Mrs. Ira Pierce. These dances, which take
place the second and fourth Fridays of each
month, VIII De quite the most exclusive affairs
OF the kind ever given in this City and will be
attended by the debutantes of next season, to-
gether with q number of this seasons buds, no
one over twenty or under seventeen being ad-
United. INVITATIONS nave Deen sent out by the
managers and no one viii be admitted who
does not show his card of invitation at the
door. Unfortunately, all the clubs last
season complained that certain individuals
who had been invited to be members
had Violated this strict club rule and one that
should never be broken. No one up in high
social life would or did do such thing, but
the old saying, ait takes three generations"
etc., was plainly seen last and the season be-
fore. II is the rule in all these clubs that no
one shall come, and no member can bring
guest unless an invitation has been issued, and
why one who processes to be up in such matters
should go TO a club meeting without a card
properly issued and sent out is more than the
managers Of the Friday Night, Monday Dancing
Class and Friday Fortnightlies can understand.
There are about eighty members in the Friday
kortnightlies, so far, among them Miss Kate
Salisbury Miss Susie Blanding, Miss Sophia
Pierce, Miss Alice Hager, Miss Olive Holbrook.
Mss Hannah Williams, Miss Jessie Glascock,
Miss Gerde Carroll, Miss Jessie Hobart. Miss
Clark, Miss Hooper, Miss Mary Kip, Miss Mary
MerCGdo, Miss Baldwin and a number of others.
A lew Of the older men have been invited.
The first one Will be given on October IL, at
Lunts Hall. Huber's orchestra will play for
the dances. There win be about eight meet
ings in all and they will all wind up with
coullon. Under such excellent auspices it is
hard 10 see how the dances can be otherwise
than brilliantly successful.
