HER HEART TO ALEXANDER LILY
n OCIETY will be thrown into a flutter
over the announcement of the en-
4 1gagement of Miss Juliet Williams


)gagement of Miss Juliet Williams
and Alexander Lily.
Members of San Franciscos smart set
saw nothing of Miss Williams for three
years until the last season, and no time
has been lost in taking her back to their
hearts, for she was ever favorite, and
now to think of losing her again will come
in the nature of shock to them.
Mr.. Lily, the groom-to-be, is a native of
COLUMBUS, Ohio, and comes from one of
the very best families there. His father,
M. c. Lily, was during his life time at the
head of the NJ. c. Lily Company, for many
years large furnishers of Government sup
plies.
Mr.. Lily reached San Francisco only
three days ago and registered at the Pal
ace. He has arranged to remain in this
city for some time, having been appointed
agent for number of Eastern compa
MES. He is a graduate of Princeton and
said to be a very clever man.
The acquaintance began in New York.
Then Miss Williams Travelled abroad ex-
tensively and it was not until she returned
to San Francisco that Mr. Lily visited her
here and obtained her promise.
1t was intended to keep the betrothal a
profound secret until after Christmas,
when Miss Williams would have invited
her most intimate friends to luncheon
and conf1ded to them first; but the news
leaked out before a formal announcement
could be made. There are no wedding
arrangements yet, as the affair will not
take place for several months to come.
but spring will claim Miss Williams for a
BRIDE
1t will be remembered that Miss Will
liams made her social debut several sea-
sons ago with her sister, now Mrs. Walter

pleasing. She is a splendidly bred girl

favorite cannot we'll be spared from San
Francisco and her friends will do their
best to persuade the young couple to
make this city their permanent home.
Since her return to the coast Miss Will
liams has divided her time between the
old home in San Rafael with her grand
mother, Mrs. Robert Neale, and the town
house OF her cousin, Mrs. Albert ]. DID,
