And don't know where TO find her
| Leave her alone and she'll come home.
With some fond young beside her.
Now, there's nothing fat stale or
improbable about the Countess Cas-
SIM. She's never commonplace-and
therefore her jewels are never lost.
However, tbs sincerely to be hoped
that press agents and Newportians will
not institute the custom of losing
maids-particularIy pretty maids as
was Rachel.
! Miss Christine Pomeroy had the
pleasure of meeting the fair Russian
while in Washington. She is the close
friend of Princess Alicia merry pair
they are and quite independent of dull
conventionalities.
! Miss Ethel Hager. indisputably one
of the cleverest maids in the smart
set, is seriously at work with her mod
cling, under the guidance of Miss Nc
Glashan. In fact, she has completed
her first conception-an idealized fe-
male figure lying in the sea-sand.
Why, pray, should a girl of ability
be condemned to inactivity, just be-
cause the family funds are ample?
It's high time such society maids as
possess gray matter should use it.
Success to Miss Hager.
Away off in Calcutta, in the land of
rajahs. durbars and things, a wee
American joined the colony a few
weeks since-the tiny babe of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederick Palmer, thus emitting
Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Mason of Wash
ington street to the high hOnOrs of
grandparenthood.
Mrs. Palmer is affectionately re-
membered in San Francisco as a Kap-
pa Kappa Gamma maid, and a Spin
ner, so that young Calcutta American
will have hosts of ''aunties'' when he
arrives in San Francisco next year.
The Sequoia Clubs "at home" on
Tuesday night at the st. Francis will
be foregathering of lot of interest
ing people-nOt the least Of whom will
be Gertrude Atherton, the most sue
cessful woman author that has yet
come out of the West.
Maynard Dixon's pictures will be
shown in the green room, many of
which are already spoken for by ad-
mirers of the clever chaps work.
The Seward McNears will remain in
their Marin home through the winter.
Mr.. and Mrs w. S. Leake have TAX
en- apartments at the Palace for the
winter. They are building a home in
Ross valley, which will not be COM
pleted before next spring.
Miss Katherine Selfridge, who will
wed Lieutenant Kellond next week,
was entertained yesterday at a large
/ tea given in her honor by Miss Elsie
Dorr Those who assisted Miss Dorr
were: Miss Selfridge, Miss Hazel Moo
nan, Miss Florence Gibbons, Miss Mar
! jorie Gibbons, Miss Florence Cole. Miss
/ Louise Redington, Miss Helen Baily
/ and Miss Alice Treanof.
Hermann Oelrichs has returned to
/ San Francisco, having spent the
greater part of the year at the Boole
place in Ross Valley, to which he was
seemingly much attached.
! Speaking of Mr.. Oelrichs one cannot
disassociate him from Mr.. Berg. whom
he has immortalized in his epic, The
House That Berg Built
! Now. as a matter of fact, that house
is really going to be built in Sausalito
some day. And it's going to be a
bungalow, as becomes bon vi
wants and royal good fellows.
Those o'clock teas of Mr.. Berg's in

becoming the proper caper among the
elect Why don't San Francisco men
