FASHIONS DAY.
BY Zoe Green Radcliffe.

OAKLAND, Oct. 7-As a slender sapling
in the blast so is custom inclined and twisted
by society's whim. Saturday, that erstwhile
was given to plebeians and others at the
foot Of the social ladder. is now favored of
the smart set-it has received the stamp OF
fashion approval, and no day in the week is
so crowded with affairs that demand the So
ciety maids or matron's attention.
Each day of the past week has held its
need of social pleasure, but to- morrows cal
endar is filled and overhowing. The bazaar
for ST. PauPs Chancel Chapter at Ebell will
of course call out the charitably inclined as
well as the devotee Of fashion. Mrs. William
Lynham Shiels afternoon for her two little
daughters is for tomorrow, and the big tea
that Mrs VIII Bacon, Miss Chapman and Miss
Mccartney are giving for Miss T1sdale is also
a Saturday event.
Mrs Larkey and Miss Ida Larkey will add
to to-morrow's 8 festivity with Informal tea
for Mrs. Melville DOzier. and the first assem-
bly, of the Saturday Night Club will round up
the day.
1t begins to look as if the weather clerk
had a gruGge against the ladies Of st. Paul s.
Their bazaar was TO have been al fresco
affair two weeks ago, but the deluge that
dazed even the oldest inhabitant necessitated
was selected, and now drizzling attempt at
rain forbode a dismal tomorrow. But the
cheeriness Of such women as Mrs Harrison
Clay, Mrs. Wheaton, Miss Florinne Brown, the
charming Oliver girls and the scores Of others
who will be in attendance ought to furnish
sunshine enough for the darkest day. Ebell
which is pretty without decoration, will be in
gayest gala attire, and with all the gorgeous
booths and their fascinating attendants there
promises to be peasanter place in Oakland
to- morrow than the indoor garden fete' at
Ebell Visitors should go early, too, and stay
late. for a splendid programme by such we'll
known musicians as Miss Winifred June Nor
gan. Miss Emmabelle Fucker, Mrs. Maxwell
Taft. Lowell Redfeld and Ernest McCandlish
is to be given, and number can be
missed without an artistic loss
