GIVES DINNER
AT A CLUB TO
HIS FIANCEE
BY Sally Sharp.

genial Jack Wilson gave a dinner at
the Bohemian Club last night, honoring
his fiancee, Miss Cluff, with the final
festivity before their nuptials on the
10th inst.
An amber glow spread from yellow
shades. toning eXquisitely with the
golden fruit and its symbolic blossoms.
And, whether by accident or design,
the bride-tO-be was goWned in a regal
yellow chiffon robe, spangled with gold.
1t was distinctly yellow dinner, and
one of note as function of perfect de-
tail. oodfellowship-that which far
outshines the arts of the chef or cellar
man-distinguished the affair from all
too many Of its fellows.
The bridal party, consisting of Miss
de Young, Miss Constance de Young,
Miss Pearl Landers and Miss California
Cluff, were conspicuously honored
guests.
This gay feast brought to a finis
round OF entertainment in honor of the
fair bride-tO-be. The week that re-
mains before the wedding will be alb
sOrbed religiously by the gownmaker
and the rest of the trousseau tribe
with few hours of rest-the rarest
thing to-day in the possession of a
prospective bride-wedged in between.
A notable wedding was celebrated
yesterday at 3 o'clock, when Miss
Louise Harrington, daughter of Mrs.
W. p. Harrington, became the bride of
Lieutenant William D. Leahy.
Owing to a recent bereavement the
affair was celebrated in the Quietest
manner possible, the bride being at
tended solely by Miss Marie Louise
Harrington, a tiny niece; Lieutenant
Hanrahan, L. S. N, serving the groom
as best man.
The bride, a Junoesque girl of fine
style, never appeared more lovely than
in her nuptial robe of white ChantiTly
over ivory silk.
1t is a matter of regret that Mrs.
Leahy must be lost to local society, but
such is the chosen lot of the naval
brides. As Mr.. Leahy is attached to
the Tacoma its destination will decide
their future abiding place.
The marriage Of Miss Mabel l. Gum
and Louis NJ. Dillman of Chicago last
night was a surprise to the many

city. He is a graduate of Ohio Uni

with her at sight. The engagement
has only been Of short standing, al
though the interested parties have been
acquainted for some time.
The marriage was solemnized last
night in the apartments of the brides
father at the St Nicholas Hotel. The
rooms were magnidcently decorated in
honor of the occasion. A great pro-
fusion Of beautiful white roses filed
every available space, while in the bay
window was suspended a large UNI
brella wrought of white crown lilies
and tiny electric lights.
The marriage service was read by
Bishop Nichols. AT the conclusion
Of the ceremony an elaborate
wedding supper was served in adjoin
ing apartmentS. The bride was a pic
ture Of exquisite loveliness in a beau
tiful wedding robe of white crepe de
chine over silk and chiffon, the waist
trimmed with point applique Her Golf
fure was dressed high and from it de-
pended the wedding veil and wreath
Of orange blossoms that had been worn
by her mother on her wedding day
thirty years ago. Her corsage was
decked with two magnificent pendants
Of rare pearls and diamonds, the gift
OF the groom.
Mrs. Gum looked very handsome in
a rich gown of pale gray crepe, with
point lace.
Only the relatives of the family were
present.

in this city. where she enjoys a large
and devoted circle of friends and ac-
quaintances.

and will then return to Chicago, where
they will reside permanently.
Miss Ardella Mills and Miss Eliza
beth were hostesses at a very pleasant
card party yesterday in their apart
ments at the Cecil Fourteen friends
were entertained with the well-known
charm of the Misses Mills. The clever
ness of the young ladies at entertaining
is another unquestionable evidence Of
heredity.
Quite the most attractive luncheon Of
the week was given yesterday by Miss
Jane Wiltshire in honor Of Miss Con-
stance de Young. 1t was indeed an af-
fair of hearts, great red hearts and
red blossoms making the decoration.
