| A delightful home dinner was given
at the Pleasanton on Saturday evening
| by Secretary of State and Mrs. L. H.
Brown to Frederick Warde, the popular
tragedian. George T. Bromley, an old
time friend, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Ball
and Mrs. Lawlor were the other guests.
This goodly company carried out King
Lear's command, Down, thou climbing
sorrow Thy elements belowi" The
time passed all too quickly, enlivened
by the keen wit of Mr. Warde and ready
responses of "Uncle George" who has
travelled widely and is celebrated for
his readiness of speech and repartee.
The table decorations were delicate
in color and pleasing in arrangement.
The edge of the table was hidden with
garlands of smilax inclosing central
piece composed of pink hyacinths and
ferns, harmonizing in color with large
vase of apple blossoms placed at one
end of the table. A spray of Bermuda
lilies and long-leaf ferns were artistic
ally laid near Mr. Warde's plate. There
were boutonnieres for the gentlemen in
| pink and white and corsage bouquets
| for the ladies in the same colors. About
the room were stands of potted palms,
while smilax beautified every available
place. Tied in with a knot of green
ribbon, on the name cards, was a bit of
English holly, whose red berries and
bright leaves were most appropriate to
| the quotations on the reverse side from
king Lear: Frederick Warde's "Ay,
every inch a King; George Bromley s
Testers do oft prove prophets" and
so on. Mr.. Warde, who is an ardent
angler, thoroughly enjoyed the Sacra-
mento River salmon which comprised
one of the courses.
The guest of the evening was 10th to
| leave such congenial surroundings, and
regretfully watched the moving hands
| of the clock as they timed the moment
of his departure. Mr.. Warde expressed
his warm appreciation of the hospita-
| bic receptions rendered him on all occa-
sions by the Sacramento people.
A very pleasant surprise party was
given Miss Jessie Wendt at her charm
ing home, 2130 M street, on Saturday
evening. The spacious parlors were
beautifully trimmed and festooned with
a variety of flowers and smilax. The
occasion was the sixteenth birthday of
the hostess, and was a delightful event.
The evening was spent in games, sing
ing, dancing and card playing, until a
late hour, when the guests repaired to
the dining-room, where an inviting re-
| past awaited them. On departing for
their homes the young people wished
their hostess many such happy birth
day anniversaries.

A very pretty wedding took place yes
terday noon at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. Bories, 500 ] street, the con-
tracing parties being their daughter
Clara and Samuel Stone, both of this
city. The house was a mass of beauti-
full flowers. Potted palms and ferns
were placed in all the halls and parlors,
producing a most cheerful effect.
AT II O'Clock, in the front parlor, un-
der a beautiful floral bell, the happy
couple were united, Rabbi Simon of the
Synagogue officiating. The bride was
charmingly attired in delicate white
duchess silk gown, trimmed with chif-
fon. She carriel a bouquet of white
fleu de lis. The wedding march, Sc
lection from Mendelssohn, was finely
rendered on the piano by Mrs. Brock
of San Francisco, a sister of the bride
