The San Francisco call., 1899-05-14

" HERE is but little of a social ma
ture going on these days beyond
few card parties and an occasional
entertainment in honor of some
L stray visitor within our gates.
The shops are having their in
nings now, for those society bellies and
matrons who have not already departed
for scenes of summer resort gayety have.
been spending most of their time shop
ping and putting in order their summer
wardrobes The wise ones have been
getting I'm a few hours of beauty sleep,
100. before starting out for the country
summering.

show a great increase over last year. In
terest in tennis is being revived, and

ticipation, while golf promises TO be the
al-absorbing pastme with the majority
Of the smart set If prophets who know
fail not. the season out-of-town viii be
gayer than for many years.
With the exception Of the wedding of
Miss Mamie Burlirg to Dr. John Evelyn
Pase, l.. s. n. which is to take place
next Tuesday evening. there is absolutely
nothing of interest on the social calen-
dar fo- the present week 1t is the wish
of Miss Burling that her wedding be
marked by the utmost simplicity, and to
this end the invitations have been of the
most informal character and confined to
only q few relatives and intimate friends.
The ceremony will be performed at the
home of her mother. Mrs. William Bur
ling at o clock. by the Rev. Father
Narsi. The bride will be attended by
nieCes Lolita and Norma Burling. DR..
Victor G. 3. Means. L. S. N. will act as
groomsman. Miss Burling has always
been exceedingly popular in San Fran
cisco, her many friends loving her for
her uuseltiSh. WOmanly character. and
there is probably no member Of society
who would be more greatly missed than
she will be. 1t is. therefore. matter of
deep regret to her friends that her mar
riage viii take her away from here for
some time TO come.
