She is a daughter of the late G.. Frank

and as Miss Helen Smith met Mr..
Tower while on a trip to Alaska with
her father and sisters. Their engage
ment was announced shortly after the
return of the party to California, and
the wedding was the chief social event
Of the season at Oakland
The first time that the German en-
peror dined with Ambassador and Mrs
Tower the visit constituted notable
occasion. 1t was an exceptional honor
for him to depart so far from custom
as to dine at the residence of a repre-
sentative OF another country. Accom-
panied by distinguished officers OF his
suit, he reached the Tower palace at Z
o'clock in the evening and was re-
ceived at the entrance by the ambassa-
dor, surrounded by the stan of the
embassy. At the top of the grand stair
case Mrs. Tower awaited the emper-
or's coming. The table was set for
thirty. and the emperor on entering
had few words of greeting for each.
At dinner his majesty had Mrs. Tower
on his right and George Won l.. Meyer.
then ambassador to Russia. on his left.
Since that time the kaiser has made
special point Of welcoming Mr.. and
Mrs Tower to court functions, and the
empress has shown her admiration for
the wife OF the American diplomat.
She once said that a dress the latter
wore at a court function was the most
beautiful she had ever seen. 1t was
decorated with silver spangles costing
$3.50 apiece. and there were hundreds

Turning disdainfully. she caught a
glimpse Of Plank's shocked and al

the usual inert expression, and queer,
uncomfortable perplexity began TO in

gentleman whose fatuous vanity and
consequent blunders everybody was

glad that Agatha's means permitted
her now to have such things. 1t had
been understood for some years that
the Caithness fortune was in rather an
alarming condition. Howard had been
able recently to do a favor or two for
old Peter Caithness. She had heard

such gems to his daughter. And now
