Talking of balls, San Francisco's
finest was held at the Palace Hotel,
and the universal vote was that Mrs.
Irwin was one of the handSomest wom-
en- in the room. Her gown and her
pearls created a small sensation. She
and Mrs. VIII Croker were friendly
rivals in pearls, and vowed they would
steer clear of each other and avoid
comparison.
Mrs. Rudolph Spreckels. who Is well
known in Honolulu, Is d handsome
Young matron who was missed at the
ball as she is still in mourning for
her mother. She and Rudolph are a
stunning looking couple; he is just
winning a place among the cleverest
business men in San Francisco ana
also, on dit in his fathers heart, for
1.-The old gentleman" is SO proud of his
boys business capabilities that he Is
getting ready to forget the time they
were directed against himself.
Mrs. Rudolph'S new house on Pacific
avenue is just completed, and is one
of the show places, along with the
Irwin mansion, and the J. d. SpreckeIs
palace For one can no longer call the
new buildings of the wealthy by any
such humble name as house. Mrs. Ru-
dolph is going to have u rootman,
which is audaciously going step
ahead of Mr. and Mrs. Claus, who are
content to drive forth with but one man
on the box Mr.. and Mrs. Gus Spreck-
els are splurging in Paris, where Mrs
Gus has excited much comment with
her beauty, her gowns, her pretty
daughter, and her swell turnout. She
and Mrs Lurline take their drive daily
along the Bots. They are, most often
a symphony in red; paraSols, costumes
the upholstery of their carriage, the
livery, and cockades on the ears OF
their horses being a study in rich
shades of this gorgeous color.
The Skeptical One says that there
is method in her madness, for Mrs. Gus
is a dashing brunette. He should know
that blondes are affecting reds ane
brunettes are plunging into blues, bu
men cling to traditions, even the Skep
teal One who really isn't clinging b,
nature.
San Francisco is treasuring her ener
gies, her shekels, and her French TO
the arrival of the divine Sarah. Thu
Skeptical One says that even Bern
hard't golden voice cannot make Ham
let say, VOLTA pobstacle," for There
the rub" without exciting the risibili
ties of reasonable public who know
their Shakespeare. AS I said before
Well, 1 dunno"
If you want to be an English sym
pathizer and a Boer reviler, you JUS
ought to hear Mrs. Dick Hammond tai
about the Boer government. From he
standpoint they have not a stone, no
even a red hot one, to stand upon.
But then the Beers were not tende
with Dick.
The Skeptical One says that if ever
man could have an interesting wifi
to talk with the convincing power {
a magnetic personality, that he woul
be lawyer and get married; he woul
just do away with Kinney, McClana
han & Ballou, Frank Hatch, and som
others.
None but the magnetic need apply.
