Mr.. and Mrs Thomas Goodwin nave
returned from their wedding trip anu
will be at home to ther friends at l4lo72

Mrs. Duden has returned from Rlo
Vista, where she went to attend tne
graduating exercises of her daughter.
The latter accompanied her mothef
home.
There is one thing don't understand,
and I don't think I am so terrlpiy al-
flicted as is the man who can't Vole
intef.igently on the water question:
Why is it that people will insist on go
ing to the theater to visit? Is 1t not
rather an expensive luxury, not alone
for themselves, but for their unfortu-
nate neighbors who haven't paid tnear
good money to hear about baby's cut
ting her first tooth, and Johnnys nav
ing the whooping cough? Now, I'm not
heartless; I'm awfully sorry the earring
must cut teeth this awful weather, anu
do sympathize with poor little Johnny
who gets blue in the face under
coughing spell. But people don't go 10
the theater to play policeman ana l
should like very much to be allowed
to enjoy, as a private citizen, the prlvl-
lege for which 1 pay-that OF listening
to the performance, be it good, bad or
Indifferent. Why wouldn't 1t be a Sood
idea to change the now no longer neces-
sary Ladies are requested to remove
their hats" into Ladies' are requested
to leave their troubles with the police
man at the door?"
Mrs. Amanda K Lewis gave her
eGolden Legend last Tuesday even
ing in the Sixth-street M. e. Church,
under the auspices of the Tuesday Lit
erary Club. The club deserves credit
for it's energy in getting up anything
this weather, and considering the heat,
the audience was fairly good. Save for
the presence of four charming usher
essesn who "ushed' into their various
places the lovers of the legendery, there
was no attempt at decoration, SO In
not launch into fiowery descriptions. l
was not wildly enthusiastic over the
lecture. l liked her talks on club mat
ters much better. One thing is settled
in cur minds, however. and that is the
future Of aninals. birds and insects.
Why. of course they go to heaven Did
not the stereopticon display to our view
a huge fly perched on the edge OF
fieecy white cloud. The effect was
startling We wanted to laugh, but
the soloist might have thought we were
laughing at her, so we, by' common con-
sent, restrained our mirth, proving that
we can be polite when we want to-
The Tuesday Whist Club had it's
meeting last week at the home of Mrs.
Wallace A Briggs. In the beginning
of the afternoon an accident to one of
the guests. who. apparently, had the
idea of introducing a novel and quick
method of descending the stairs without
physical exertion and good for hot
weather, disturbed the company not a
little. The excitement having subsided,
however, the game was begun, and a
very enjoyable afternoon spent. The
first prize was won by Mrs. Walter
Witherbee, the consolation by Mrs.
Martin Beasqey. 1t was indeed a con-
ISOLATION prize in this case, was it not?
Dennis O'Sullivan was the guest OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Egbert Adams while here.
He returned to San Francisco yester-
day.
Ralph Lavenson, who has BEEN study
ing medicine in Philadelphia, is home
to spend his vacation with his parents.
Miss Mabel Cluness returned to San
Francisco last Wednesday, after a
weeks visit with Mrs. Ludwig Mebius.
The many friends of Miss Jennie
Snook will be grieved to hear that she
has been quite i'll for the past week. +.

Last week we had given to us as a
fact a piece of news we hadn't heard
of before, that the Gould CasteIlanes
had bought the Petit Trianon," the
play dairy farm of the fated Antoinette.
This was a surprise to us, as we did
not know the French Government could
be persuaded to part with a spot of
such historic romantic interest. 1t is
one of the real estate transfers of the
century to be mentioned In connection
with that Of the Philippines to the
United States, the Carolines to Ger
many. Spain vanquished by American
arms and valor. France yielding to
American gold! Soon Mayor Land will
be buying the Pyramids, on which to
paint signs. And such is progress.
A most enjoyable wedding was cele-
brated last Sunday afternoon at the

when Mr.. Harvie's only daughter, Ada,

tions were elaborate and exceedingly
beautiful pink and white being the pre-
vailing colors. There was an abundance
of roses in the reception room, and the
front parlor, in which the ceremony was
performed, was banked with sweet peas
There were present at the wedding
only the immediate friends and rela-
tives. After the ceremony congratula-
tions were offered. and then luncheon
was served. The bride was gowned in
white organdie, trimmed in lace inser-
tions and ribbon. and carried a bunch
of sweet peas and ferns. Little Leila
Orr, sister Of the groom, acted as ring
bearer, and looked very pretty in pure
white organdie with lace and ribbons.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank L. Orr departed
int the evening for Woodland, where Mr..
