given by the Quarterly Cotillion Club in the
Maple room of the Palace on December 13. 1t

the most favorable circumstances, as the club
is exerting much energy to make the affair q
success. Twenty-four OF our prominent society
people Will lead in the first set, introducing
some new and effective figures. The limited

grace the occasion.

Yesterdays receptions kept every one
busy, but, of course, the greatest crowd col
lected at the Newhall residence, 1206 Post.
Fortunately, the house was large enough
to accommodate most comfortably the
numbers of people who were present.
Miss Elma Graves, in whose honor the tea
was given and who is one of this seasons
debutantes, is pretty graceful girl
and is very bright and attractive.
The house was beautifully decorated
with the choicest roses and ferns, and
quite bevy of beautiful girls were pres
ent to assist the hostess in the duty
of receiving her many hundreds OF guests.
During the ception-hours solid refresh
ments were served. After the reception
hours Mr.. and Mrs. Newhall gave dinner
to the receiving party. Among the ladies
who assisted in receiving were Miss Kip,
Miss Mary Kip. Miss Ella Hobart, Miss
Carrie Taylor, Miss Edith Mclean, Miss
Bessie Bowie, Miss Tilden, Miss Jennie

The day of the debutante is at hand, and
her season of delight is fast approaching.
She will now be the subject of converse
tion for some time to come and her sway
in the world of fashion has already begun.
San Francisco never fails to have on hand
each year charming lot of girls who are
ready to sustain the City's reputation
for grace and beauty. This year the list
presents the names of the most attractive
young women, most of whom will be for
mally presented to society at the first
meeting of the Monday evening dancing
class and Friday Night Club on Monday
and Friday evenings next. Some have
and will make their debuts at home at tea
or reception and are all in state of great
agitation. Among the debutantes are:
Miss Romie Wallace. Miss Mary Kip, Miss

Are you going to the horse show?"
Have you been TO the horse show?" will
be the questions that will be asked oftenest
in the next few days. Seldom has any
event been more talked of than this COM
ing exhibit, the second of the kind in San
Francisco, but which will likely become in
the future one of the prime social func-
tions of the City.

In New York, where for half dozen
years the show has been regular open
ing of the society season every autumn, it
is noticed each year it is more popular.
The same result in all probability will
follow here, fer our people are more and
more interested in all outdoor life and in
sporting questions of every kind. Then so
MANY of the smart set will have their own
favorites on exhibit that one really hears
now Of no other topic. Enthusiasm, too,
is so contagious that even when one takes
but slight interest in the beginning of
an affair, hearing great deal on the SUBJ
iect soon spreads the excitement about it,
hence the horse show, it is safe to
prophesy, will be great success. Quite
large number of suppers will be given
after the horse show performance at the
University Club, the Palace Hotel and
Zinkands.

This week will be as last, another dane
ing week of this early season, and although
private balls are to be very few, Mrs.
Wallace's on Thursday evening last for
their daughter, Miss Romie, being the
first large private entertainment of the
kind, the subscription dances are so many
this year that two will fall every week, and
for those who love it there will be plenty
OF this kind of amusement.

The wedding at Grace Church on Wednes-
day of Miss Mary Frances Breeze to Lieu
tenant Harry Coupland Benson will be a
very pretty affair. Miss Eleanor Wood
Miss Ethel Lincoln, Miss Schnedy and
Miss Forbes are to be bridesmaids. with
Miss Louise Breeze, the BRIDES sister, for
maid of honor. The church is to be beauti-
fully decorated. There will be wedding
breakfast Immediately after the ceremony.
Yellow will be the predominant color, and
the bridesmaids gowns are to be com bina-
tons of yellow silk and chiffon. Mrs.
Breeze gave dinner on Thursday evening
last in their honor, to which number Of
young people were invited.
In regard to wedding days the fashion
has quite changed in the East and now
DEGREES that Saturday is the day of all
others for the nuptial ceremony. The
rhyme, Monday for health, Tuesday for
wealth and Wednesday the best day OF all.
Thursday for losses, Friday for crosses and
Saturday no luck at all, is evidently obso-
lete, for certainly the brides now laugh at
it as an old superstition.

Several weddings of interest will occur
this month, and then there will be cessa-
ton for while OF marriage festivities un-
til just before Lent when MANY couples
will decide to keep the penitential weeks
as honeymoon. There seems to be GER
tain times in the year when it is thought
good form to marry-iust after Easter,
early in June and the autumn, as well as
before Lent. But this season there has been
perfect rush into the holy estate of mat
rimony. One becomes very skeptlcal
about the hard times once so much talked
of. The matches, too, this autumn, with
one or two exceptions, have not repre-
sented any large amount of wealth on
either side - simply dear old-fashioned
love marriages, small houses and cunning
little fats.

The kettledrum at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. NJ. H. de Young next Tuesday,
for the benefit of the Polytechnic of San
Francisco, will be one of the brilliant So
cial events of the season. The genial
host and the charming hostess are mas
ters of the gentle art of entertainment,
and their guests will be welcomed in royal
fashion. The generous action of Mr.. and
Mrs de Young in transforming their
beautiful residence into reception apart
ments in behalf of SO worthy cause calls
for the highest praise. The lady patrons
announce that there will be continuous
musical and variety entertainment. Tea
will also be served by the young ladies,
and grand mbola. Tickets can only
be procured from the lady patrons and the
medical staff.

The affair of the week and season was
the Wallace ball, given on Thursday last
at National Guard Hall, when Miss Romie
Wallace made her debut. Itwas certainly
the most successful ball ever given on the
coast. Chrysanthemums were the favorite
flowers on the occasion and the gorgeous
ness of the flower in these days surpasses
anything in the past. We ask ourselves,
When will the, flower stop growing, both
in beauty and in size, for each year it gets
larger and shows greater variety OF color?

After protesting against the bill being con-

grounds of reason and wisdom, Mr.. Reed

for sometime. as it has been the custom in
Elkton for many years. to do everything
possible to defeat all efforts to aid the bust
ness interests of the town. When the first
effort was made to secure m appropriation
from the government to dredge the river in
1875, the cry was raised that it would only
benefit one firm. Fortunately the appropri-
alton was secured. the river made navigable
and the result was the purchase by Mr..
Singerly of the Old Providence Mill in 1880:
the erection of his Pulp Mill in 1888: the
building of the Cecil Lancaster & Southern
Railroad in 1898 How did the dredging of
Elk river effect all thie? Simply because Mr..
S,ngerly had to be within reach of navigabIe
stream to get his supply Of poplar wood,
and the Elk was the only river practicable
for him to use. The Pulp Mill was the
logical result of the enlargement of the old
Providence Mill. ana the railroad from Chlds
to Providence would never have been built
