play. waiting, with q little thrill OF
pleasant expectation, for the startling
here ami The little god Of love has
announced his presence here in Oak
land so often. however, that we cannot
make even a pretense Of aStonishment
any more. But most Of us experienced
a real, old-fashioned start Of surprise
when we heard that Harold Havens
had captured the heart and hand of the
very stunning girl who has been visit
ing his parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank c.
Havens. The young lady in question Is
Miss Hope Cheney, the talented daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. John Vance Cheney,
who are probably better known In san
Francisco. their former home, than In
New York. where they now reside. MISS
Cheney spent the summer with the
Havenses at Sag Harbor, N T.. and
coming with them to California was
their guest until recently.
Harold Havens has been considered
quite catch" by Oakland matrons
with marrtageable daughters, and ne
has been reported engaged at various
times to nearly every girl In his social
set. 1t is said that the wedding Will
take place at an early date, and MI
Havens and his bride will certainly
make very handsome couple, as Miss
Cheney Is girl of striking appearance
and bud" Havens, as his fntimates
call him, always attracts attention

again, with another announcement OF
more than ordinary interest. Miss Es-

known young florist and popular Elk.

in Oakland, and the announcement OF
their engagement will surprise scores OF
friends. for they have kept their little
secret well. Mr. Seulberger was recent
ly appointed Horticultural Commission
er for Alameda County, and he is also
prominent in Masonic circles. He is the
son Of Julius Seulberger and is asso-

interesting to know that he was born

the house in which Washington Irving
lived. During the war with Spain Mr..
Seulberger was in the commissary de-
partment of the United States trans
port Warren. The wedding will take

rimac street. Miss Macdonald is quite
musical and is a graduate of the Oak
