The San Francisco call., 1904-10-09

The happy pair left for their nuptial
trip on Wednesday morning.
On Thursday Miss Edith Mau was
hostess at a charming luncheon at her
Sutter street home, to which ten of her
friends were hidden.
The decorations were quite in accord
with the young hostess personality.
On the same day Miss Etelka Will
liar, one Of the fairest maids Of Sau-
salito, entertained at luncheon, many
Of the fair maids going over from this

Friday brought a delightful bridge
party, with Mrs. Alexander D. Keyes
the hostess. AS with the most inter-
esting bridge affairs, there was not

The Fassetts are well known in San
Francisco, having made several visits
here. They are of kin to the Crockers,
which would, Of course, ally them to
Mrs. c. B. Alexander of New York,
Mrs Francis Burton Harrison, whose
ambitious young husband is seeking
election as Lieutenant Governor of the
State, and Mrs. Amy Crocker-G -Gou-

Apropos of the Gourauds, it is we'll
known that the quartet-mother,
daughter and their respective hus-
bands Dere and fils-have been badly
bitten by the theatrical microbe. Some
time ago they wrote a play-all of
them having an oar in it-and now they
are ready to produce it. In fact, the
affair takes place to-day, as witness
the following invitation that arrived in
