Mr.. and Mrs John c. Mooney, who
were married on October 21 at the cath

Mrs. Mooney, who was Miss Nellie
Glynn. is an attractive bride and the
favorite niece of Judge Robert Tobin,
to whom she was most devoted during
his long illness. In fact, she held her
recent post-nuptia1 receptions at the
Tobin home, 1880 Geary street. She
was a picture in her wedding gown of
beautiful point lace and liberty satin,
and quite deserving of the pretty rO-
nance which surrounds her. When
pretty Miss Glynn in her early giTlhood
came from Ireland to visit her uncle in
this city sha left behind a fond admirer
John c. Mooney Mr.. Mooney fol-
lowed her to this country with the fixed
intention of never going back without
her. After a wait of eleven years per-
severance conquered and the wedding
was the happy sequel.

to warrant their keeping it. The Pal
ace Hotel will be the scene of the ball,
and a delicious extravaganza Will per-
wade every detail of the arrangements.
No expense will be spared in floral dec
orations. which will be numerous and
costly" like the wedding presents we
read about There will be not less than
$50 guests and not more than $50, and
the sumptuous supper alone will repre-
sent an expenditure of something like
$4,000. The guests will include the most
exclusive and prominent Jewish fami-
lies. and there will be beautiful gowns,
flashing jewels, representatives of cul-
ture and finance, brilliant speeches.

tertained her guests with the sweet
cordiality and vivacity of manner for
which she is widely known and loved.

George Spieker, Miss Brickenfeld of
Sacramento, Miss Bessie Gowan, Miss
Chandler of Washington, Miss May
Sharon, Miss Rachel Hovey, Miss
Blanche Dwinelle, Mrs. Fuller and Mrs.
Arneal of --cs Angeles.
One of the most unique and enjoyable
dinners given in this city for many a
day was the one given by Mrs. T. II.
Williams recently in honor of her hus-
bands birthday. a rambling grape
vine was strewn over the table and
beneath each cluster of grapes was an
electric light. After every course there
were handsome favors which the hos
tess had picked up in the East during
her recent visit there. She also brought
with her for the dinner funny fancy
dress costumes for her guests which
caused no end of merriment throughout
the evening Miss Steele was dressed
as a Japanese man, and SO carefully
made up that no one would have recog-
nized her. Mrs. Steele, the hostess
mother, wore a Louis XIV costume.
Mrs. William Shiels was Salvation
Army lass from THE Belle of New
York" Or. Shiels was an Irish gentle
man. Charles Paxton was Hans and
Louis Lessok was Gretchen. William
A. Pinkerton of Chicago impersonated
big policeman. Mr.. Steele was
Turk. Dalton Harrison was a Scotch
man. A. Andrew represented 4 walk
ing delegate. Mrs. A. Andrew was
costumed as a trained nurse. AIRS. Will
liams wore an effective jockey costume
with colors of yellow and black and
Mr. Williams was King Dodo.
Miss George Spieker-veritable Sa-
maritan that she is-has been seen
downtown a good deal of late buying
Christmas things for the waits in the
Children's Hospital she is one of the
Chrysanthemum Auxiliary of the hos
pital board and has the interests of the
little. ones as much at heart as has
Mrs. Spieker, who works constantly for
less Children. AS much of George
Spieker's charming personality is due
TO native grace as to gentle breeding.
She is tall and Gibsonesque, with light
brown hair, wonderful violet eyes and
a sympathetic manner. Her voice is
so soft and magnetic that she could
become a successful lion tanner without
the least bit of coaching. She may
have been trying the tanning process
on her father. for he doesn't seem to
think anything of taking her around
the world or buying her automobiles
and Persian lamb and sable coats. The
new automobile is a beauty-a touring
car. large enough to include a few
friends. Miss Spieker is learning to run
the machine herself, but will always
take chauffeur along for safety.

ribbons at bench shows.
Quite the newest fad is that of hav-
ing a valuable dogs horoscope cast
and nativity written out, according to
his birthday. A prominent society wo-
man, who owns fine st. Bernards, in
telling me her. reasons for accepting
this new fancy, said: ''It insures the
better development OF their health and
general conditions. 1t enables one to
know their characteristics minutely, to
better understand those who are
speechless and to help them in their
unfavorable moments: also what
months the malefic planets affect them
and when they are liable TO die, in or
der to strive to avert the danger"
Let il be we'll understood that when a
society woman does not send her pet
to a bench show it is not because she
possesses none sufficiently valuable to
win medals. but simply because it is
not very good thing for the dog. She
contends that a valuable animal can
contract pneumonia. and other diseases

Dave Clark Tore Up mis- Wagon and
Struck John Chips with Part of it.

John Chips was in town yester-
dav. SO was Dave Clark. They
met, and it is said had some words
that would be out of place IN the
Hague Peace tribunal. In fact,
both might have been justly deelar-
ed IN a state of war. though no
hostile movements were carried out
at the time.
Unfortunately, they both left town
about the same time, and by the
same road, up through Stringtown.
Chips was travelling in his buggy,
and Clark was in his spring wagon.
The former was making little
better time than the latter, and
along about the Oak Grove Cemetery
somewhere, attempted to pass Clark.
According to member of the
police force, at the instant they
were about to pass, Dave arose in
his strength, tore his seat board
loose and swated John over the
head with it. The blow was heavy
and we'll directed, and Johns head
was badly cut. No arrests have
been made, but it is said Mr.. Chips
will charge his assailant with I'M
lawful assault.

THE OLD PORCH AGAIN.

Story That 1t Was Built BY Special
Act of Virginia Assembly Unbound.
ed-Question of Razing II Agitated
For so Years.
The statement has been ma de by
some, on apparently coed authority,
that the porch in front OF the old
Moreland property, which is now no
more, was built there some 70 years
ago by special act OF the Virginia
Legislature. Where the story started
is hard to tell, but it seemed to have
sufficient foundation to call for an
investigation. This was made, but
no trace of any such act could be
found in the acts of the Virginia
Assembly. There was probably no
truth ia the story.
The question of tearing that porch
away has been agitated for over 80
years, 1t is said. One man now
nearly 60 years old, says he remem
hers when he was a mere boy OF
going there and sitting ON it, while
his mother was inside listening to a
funeral service. He says at that
time there was talk of razing it.
Mayor McGrew himself knows
that the question has been consider
ed for at least 33 years. He takes
some comfort in the knowledge tina,
its destruction is at last accomplish.
ed under his administration.
