SAN SOCIETY

S$%&&$&&%$&
A topic of interest that has not vet
died out of conversation is the mar
riage of Gus Costigan to Miss Elsie
Nash, instead of to one of the daugh-
tiers of j. D. Spreckels, which was ex-
pected. For a season or two, Gus
Costigan's apparent devotion to the
S~preckels' sisters was inspiration to
a conjecture as to which would finally
announce her engagement to this
young man. Gus Costigan seems to
have some mysterious attraction for
the heiress; a few years ago he vas
engaged to a young lady who died and
left him fifty thousand dollars. 1t
seemed hardly fair tt the beaux OF
society that he should win another
heiress. And while conjecture was rife
and rumor was busy. Mr.. Gus married
Miss Elsie Nash who wasn't in the
conjecture at all, but who is an heiress
undisputable all the same.
BEAUTY FIRST, ACTRESS SECOND.
San Francisco has been enthusiastic
over the English actress, Mrs. Pat
Campbell. Mrs. Pat is a beauty first,
and an actress second. That is the
general verdict and what woman, be
she actress born, or actress bred,
would choose to have this order re-
versed. That Mrs. Pat is not oblivious
gowns, which are designed to bring out
all her best points. Even at the stage
breakfast table. the exquisite line of
Mrs. Pats shoulder and neck is not
in %obscurity, and if her audiences won
der at decollete morning gowns, at
least they see the excuse
Mrs. Campbell's plays are immoral,
gloomy, III of the order known as
should really have stayed
home. But this is the day of the
Young Person, and in Mrs. Pat
CampbelIs audiences the debutante
was conspicuous. And so Miss Pearl
Landers, a debutante of fluff, frivolity,
and i~nfantile aspect looked up at Mrs.
Pat when h was introduced to her
at a reception given by Mrs. Mike De
Young, and said:
"Oh, Mrs. Campbell, I thought you
were so charming in The Joy of Liv-
Now Mrs. Pat has only sons, and so
of course she thinks she could bring
up a dauhter better than who have
the daughters, and she looked back
into the baby blue eyes raised to hers
admiringly, and she shook her head,
disapprovingly.
"Ah, my dear, you are very young
have seen that play!" she said.
A PRIVATE CAR PARTY.
A very jolly and congenial party
been off on a trip, with Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Tevis in their private car,
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.. Irwin, Mr.. and
Mountford Wilson, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Horace Blanchard Chase accom-
panied the Will Tevises, who have the
by the way, of spending
money as m~illionaires always can, but
sometimes don't. Mr.. and Mrs. Will
have a house in town, and four
country places, besides a yacht and a
special car, so it may be believed that
hey are not boarding their shekils ex-
actly.
ISLAND TRADE WANTED.
And talking Of being lavish, there
8 no purchaser nor popular with the
san Francisco shops than the visitor
rom the Hawaiian Islands. The ISL
trade is sought more eagerly here
han any other. A kamaaina who went
nto one Of the best known stores
ately and bought an expensive artf-
lie. gave a check in payment. The
head OF the store returned from the
with h a check in his hand and
politely explained that the name was
In unknown one to firm and he must
20 have the owner identified. a
hotels were mentioned by the en-
'arrassed kamaafna, and one, OF two,
Francisco friends but the head OF
establishment seemed Hneasy. and
FEW mutual blushes enEued. The
