The Catherwood Serenade
and Tea at the
Presidio.
Several Handsome Dinners and
Luncheons of the Past
Week.
The Kitchen Garden Picnic to Angel
ISland-Good Work of the
Society.

The past week has been rather slow
and quiet, but not altogether uninterest-
ing. We have had a charming wedding
and several delightful luncheons and din
ners.
There was the usual weekly engage
ment-that of Walter Newhall and Mrs.
Alnsworth of Los Angeles-which proved
very great surprise to the many friends
OF the interested parties.
The Denicke- Leuschner wedding was a
most delightful affair and was attended by
200 invited guests.
The handsomest event of the week was
undoubtedly the Wilson luncheon for Mrs.
Whitelaw Reid.
On Thursday evening Winfield Jones
gave charming dinner for Mr.. and Mrs.
Elliott McAlliSter, and on Tuesday after
noon Miss Catherwood gave a delightful
little tea at the residence of her mother,
Mrs. Darling, at the Presidio. 1t was an
army and navy affair and perfect sue
cess, like all the entertainments at which
Miss Catherwood presides.
Friday morning Miss Catherwood was
serenaded by the Presidio band by courtesy
of General Graham, and three of Major
Darllng's fayorlte musical compositions
played as compliment to the young lady's
host.
The wedding of Miss Jennie Cheesman
and Lieutenant Shoemaker of the navy is
announced for June 2. 1t is to be very
lily being present.
That was most delightful affair, the
picnic given by the young ladies of the
Kitchen Garden" to their charges with
whom they labor so faithfully during the
year.
The ladies have $50 little ones in their
care and they devote themselves to their
education, not forgetting the practical
duties of life-cooking, sewing and house
keeping.
The little ones were taken aboard the
Government tug and conveyed to Angel
Island, where they enjoyed perfect day.
outing.
The lunch was a delicious and elabo-
rate one prepared by the young ladies in
charge, Miss Betty Ash, Miss Griffith
Miss Sprague, Miss May Hoffman, Miss
Alice Hoffman and the Misses Maynard.
The vocal recital given by the pupils of
Nine. Rosewald on Saturday afternoon

cess. The feature of the programme was
the singing by Miss Simpson of the Chopin
