OF course you have heard Of the
new Martin dinner service. Those
Martin dinners have been Newportian
in grandeur and good fellowship.
Who is there who has the stupidity to
question the advantage of the advent
of new blood in our social life?
From indiscriminate discussion it is
learned that the service of the Martin
dinners is distinctly de rigueur =
and that dear Mrs Peter brought out
her own beautiful silver and gold
dinner service for our edificatien..
Now that was kind act, and -deserv-
ing Of proper recognition, for what
should we who mine the minerals
know of their civilized state in dinner
service? Here's to Mrs. Peter for her
tips.
The Martin contingent. with dear,
good. kindly Eleanor presiding, will be
much in evidence during the coming
summer. The Walter Martins will
take quarters in San Mateo. so. too,
will the Downey- -Harveys. with Anita
Harvey as a prospective debutante of
next winter. Both the Harvey girls
are clever mentally and have devoted
much time to athletics The Martins
will surely dominate San Mateo.
That was charming affair that Mrs.
George Hastings gave to herrfriends on
Saturday last, when the farce, "Ici on

right cleverly did the following cast
pronounce their lines:
Miss Anna Livingston, Miss Aida

ther Lambert. Harry w. Seawell,
Frank ErIin and Charles d. Holman.
Miss Zita Hastings in the part of Mary
Ann, the Irish servant girl, did excel

the performance. Those present were:

Given a perfectly prepared and daintily
served dinner, does that imply a COM
plete removal from barbarism? I'm
happily, no. A cursory glance around
Zinkand's, Techau's or the Palace Grill
any night after the theater will con-
vince the skeptical that our Western
men-as class-have not yet learned
to dine, or sup. They feed.
And what a carelessness' = our
friend Dill would say-as to creases in
trousers, set of coat, choice of neck
wear, and usage of gloves! In New
York, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Washing
ton and Denver business and profess
sional men have standards of dress
that reflect much credit upon them and
unlimited admiration from the women
folk-and we would that our men, than
whom there are no dearer in the world
would only get busy and do likewise.
Time was when a well dressed man
was regarded with suspicion out here
in the West-and justly so, because he
usually was a gambler and confidence
man-but that era is past, and dress
has come to be an index of a mans
personality and his degree of prosper
ity-likewise his social status. To be
sure many wolves wear gentlemens s
clothes, but that in itself is tribute to
the gentleman. There is not an up-to-
date man or woman to-day who does
not admire a we'll groomed and well
dressed man. Here's to him,

One of the most interesting of the
surprise" weddings of the week wa
that of Miss Anita Goodwin of Vic

at Trinity by DR.. Clampett, the author
of so much of this winters happiness

The bride is the daughter of H. Dallas
Helmcken of Victoria. prominent per-
sonage in social and financial life in the,
Northwest, and who has had unlimited
advantages of education and travel
Mr.. Crowell is related to the NeweIJs
and the Alpheus Bulls. all of whom
were astounded at the sudden declara-
ton of their kinsman to wed earlier
than the day previously set for the
nuptials.
The only reason for delay was the
desire of the brides mother, who is in

One of the most charming visitors
to San Francisco for many moons is
the lovely Polly Tongue of Oregon. A
reigning belle in the Northwest, Miss
Tongue was equally popular in Wash

Northwest were better known nor more
beloved.
Miss Tongue will remain i'm the CITY

you will see some good horseman-

And with an uppercut he brings
The villain crashing to the floor
He fights till he can fight no more.

And plants it meath the prison door,

Then, with few loud oaths and sneers,
He lights the fuse and disappears.
Enter the heroine (for you know
The melodrama's built just so.
Something is lacking in the plot
When she's not found upon the spot)
Entering, she beholds the fuse
And sees that there's no time to lose;
She gathers up the deadly load,
Now almost ready to explode,
And with the strength of twenty men
She hurls it far adown the glen.

Near where the villain stands, of

Filling the air with stones and sand
And desiccated villain, and,

Steps brisky forth and walks away,
