Pauline and MISS SUSIE PERSONS, TWO
attractive society girls. who win leave
this week FOR the east and probably
will make their future home in Phila-
delphia. They have been at Mare
island for a long time and their de-
parture is d matter Of keen regret.
They are favor1tes in society and in
the navy set. and while they have been
freouent guests at the affairs in town
they have a. penchant for naval asso
Citations and entertained a great deal
al the island
Miss Ethel Amweg who will wed
Walter A. Scott this week, has been
tine central figure at any number
of Lenten affairs. Notwithstanding
the fact that she begged. for
postponement. of all formal enter
tatinment until after her return
from a honeymoon trip. she has
BEEN constantly besieged, 'one might
say. with complimentary affairs.
Among the most delightful Of the par
ties planned for this bride to be was
the bridge given by Miss Aloisc Geb-
hardt when 40 guests were entertained.
Miss Gebhardt had invited only the
closest friends of the couple and the
member. Of the bridal party, but there
was merry reunion in the hospitabie
home.
Another party for Miss Amweg was
given Tuesday evening by Miss Schultz,
when half a hundred guests met the
bride 20 be, and the following day
Mrs Alexander de Brettvillc enter
tanned at luncheon for Miss AmweE
and the members of her bridal party
Thursday afternoon was devoted to
the entertainment given by Miss Ethel
Pippy at her San Mateo home for the
same guest Of honor and this last af-
fair. with the theater party given by
Mrs. Clarence Reed, made rather a
crowded week for Miss Amweg.
one OF the most interesting OF the
recent announcements was the en-
gagement of. Miss Harriet Borden, the
young daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ivy
l. Borden. and Paymaster Harry Col
Inns. L. S. IN. None but the intimate
friends of the couple suspected the Sc
cret, as the bride elect is barely out
of the schoolroom and has not made
her formal bow to society. The news
was told informally among the nearest
friends of the couple and so became
public without the usual tea or cards
to add ceremony to the disclosure. In
fact. Miss Borden was in sanitarium
at the time of the announcement and
received the fluctuations of her friends
by telephone. She is convalescent after
an operation for appendicitis and will
soon be out again. She will be the in
centive for many. of the spring affairs
as a bride elect, as the wedding will
not take place until June.
The young navy officer who figures
in this betrothal is now at Mare island
for an indefinite time. and so the plans
of the young couple are not yet for
mulated. He is popular both in the
navy and in society.
The bride to be is relative Of the
late Judge Rhodes and also of the late
Judge CARRIER.

The rumored engagement of one of
the debutantes to the son of promi-
nent attorney caused a furry Of antici-
patton last week, but the days went
on without the expected announcement.
The friends of the attractive bud are
saying that it is merely a case OF de-
voted attention and not yet, at least,
the formal understanding that could be
made public However that may be,
there are those who think the an
nouncement is not far off and were dis
appointed that the news was not con-
tributed to the tea table chat of the
Lenten season. The girl is the younger
sister of one of the most prominent mat
rons in society. and her enga cement
would be a matter of great Importance
in a social way. Perhaps rumor is still
wrong, as her intimate friends say,
and perhaps also, as they say. rumor
singled out the one that she will not
choose. But speculation is no use with
out announcement. and the announce
ment is not yet. There the gossip
must stop for while at least.
/ If gossip is unreliable in itself it is
frequently the aftermath of fact or
more often. perhaps, in the social world
it is the harbinger of romance. The
case in mind is that of a wealthy and
popular man who is qdite devoted to
the elder Of Two unmarried sisters A
stern parent however. objects 10 the
/ frivolity of romance in his family and
looks with disfavor upon the suit of
the earnest bachelor. There has been
no announcement OF an enga cement
! thus far but the close friends OF the
couple are watching the progress of the
affair with interest. They say the secret
/ is being faithfully protected for a while
in the hope that the obdurate parent
may relent. 1t is even whispered that
should he not consent to the wedding
which. by the way, would be most
desirable in all particulars from a
worldly standpoint-the young couple
may decide upon a quiet wedding out
of town and an announcement after
ward.

CUPID GETS BLACK EYE IN FAMILY
 ENCOUNTER
AFTER FEW MONTHS OF MARRIED LIFE, L. N. COLBY CHARGED
 WITH ASSAULT BY WIFE.

Four months of married life and 8 suit standing against him, in which his wife charges him with aggravated assault. Such is the marital experience of Lorenzo N. Colby.
 Colby was on trial in Judge Hinson Thomas court yesterday, on the charge. His wife appeared and testified against him, but the evidence was not all heard and the final outcome of the suit will not be known until Friday, when the case will be resumed The case is rather a peculiar one, from legal standpoint. Not only is the territory interested, through Assist. ant District Attorney Jake Weinberger, but both the defendant and the com. plaining witness have retained counsel.
 A fight over property rights and a divorce suit will be before the courts in a short time, it is said, and both sides are well represented as to legal advice.
 Judge Frederick s. Nave and George K. French represent the complaining witness, Mrs. Colby. Wiley Jones ap- pears for the defendant.
 Mrs Colby charges that several un- pleasant episodes, which have occurred during the short term of her married life with Colby, ended with an aggra- vated assault, which took place few days ago. She claims that her husband not only abused her, but resorted to personal violence.
 IL is expected that other issues in the case will come up as soon as the charge of assault against Colby has been dis posed of.

ANOTHER NEW BLOCK TO BE BUILT ON
 BROAD STREET
MRS. CARRIE HARRINGTON WILL BUILD THREE STORIES AND
 EASEMENT BUILDING.
CONSTRUCTION ID BEGIN SOON
PLANS NEAR COMPLETION AND BUILDING TO BE oaNA-
 MENTAL ONE.

Plans are now being drawn up for a new three.story business block, to be erected within the next few months on Broad street adjoining the Globe Bakery, by Mrs. Carrie Harrington. The building viii be of modern con. struction throughout and will represent an investment of at least $20,000, prob. ably several thousand dollars more.
 Preliminary work of clearing of the ground, preparatory to building, has d. ready been commenced. An cd cabin in the rear of the Hsby building has already been removed. It is expected that the construction work will be commenced within the next thirty days. Mrs. Harrington is confident that there will be no great delay in taking up the work on the new structure.
 The building will be 100 feet by 90 feet in size, including a wedge shaped strip in front, about seven feet in width on the north side, which has been pur- chased from the city. | It will be built of ornamental brick and tasty in design. On the first floor will be two business rooms, with large entrance to the second and third stories.
 It bas not been decided what will be done with the upper floors as yet. Sew eral parties are negotiating for both the business rooms and the two lofts. A basement will be excavated un. der the rear of the building. bu, it is not probable that it will be used for business purposes.
 "l hope to begin work on the new building in about a month, unless some thing unexpected happens," said Mrs. Harrington to the Silver Belt yester- day.
 'The plans are practically completed and the building will be q very orna- mental one. have already had several applications for space in the building and expect to have no difficulty in finding tenants for the entire building.
 "I do not intend to delay construc- ton on account of the injunction suit
  which sas been brought against the city to prevent its disposing of the wedge shaped strip along the eas. side 'of Broad, between Cedar and Mesquite. I shall build on that portion of the strip which lies in front of my proper ty, to conform with the proposed line of the street.
 Within short time I expect to be able to announce what disposition will be made of tlie upper stories. I have several offers, but have accepted none positively as yet
 "I originally figured on building costing about $2o,OOO, but it is proba.. ble that the investment will exceed that amount.

Gouernment Studies Conditions m YelloW Pine Forests
 of Southwest

ALBUQUERQUE N. Mex, April 2S. "A study of conditions in the yellow pine forests of the southwest, made dur ing the past season by the United States forest service at the recently es- tablisbed Coconino Forest Experiment. station, has brought out very strikingly the difficulty of securing natural re- production in this type of forest. In northern Arizona, perhaps at least half of the forest is without young growth of any kind, and old cuttings are frequently barren wastes. The most important factors in bringing this about are the climate, fire, methods of cutting, disposal of brush, and graz ing; in most cases two or more of these factors work together in preventing re- production.
 Climatic conditions, even when they do not injuriously affect the older trees are apt to be especially unfavorable for the establishment of good crop of seedlings, and curiously enough, in 8 region noted for it's heat and aridity, frost is one of the most serious enemies of the young growth The rainfall is very unevenly distributed throughout the year, and while in most of the yell low pine region it probably averages about twenty inches, this comes mainly in midsummer and winter
 Spring is the most arid season of the year, and it is almost impossible for seedlings to get started then. The re- suit is that a majority of the seeds germinate during August, and not hay ing time to fully complete the season $ growth, are killed by early fall frosts.
 Foresters who had previously inves- tigated this problem had realized in a general way the importance of frost, but it was not until actual experiments by means of sample plots were made that this point was definitely settled.
