church. The ceremony was simple and
was read by Rev. Frederick Clampett
of this city. The bride wore tailored
gown of dark blue cloth and large
black picture hat with spray of or
chids, while her sister and only attend
ant, Miss Marjorie Page, wore a blue
cloth gown with black hat also and
a corsage bouquet of bridesmaid roses.

mediately after the ceremony Mr. and
Mrs. Van Loben Sells departed on a
honeymoon trip, but viii return to
occupy pretty home that awaits them
in the college town.
The wedding was notable for several
reasons of social import. Van Loben
Sells pere was the former consul for
Holland in this city and is widely
known in diplomatic circles. The
grandfather of the bridegroom, James
de Fremery, was identified with the
early history of the city and is known
as the founder of the Bank of San
Francisco The bride is a niece of Mrs.
Horace Hellman and of Mrs. John Mail
lard and is cousin of Miss Leslie
Page of this city She is winsome
girl and has been entertained by the
girls here quite as much as among her
friends in Berkeley, where she has
made her home for several years with
her mother, Mrs wilfred Page.
Among the most interesting of the
winter dates for society women who
are in touch with the art and music
of the cities abroad are the afternoons
announced by Miss Margaret Kemble
for a series of interpretative studies
in modern opera. The dates are all
after the holidays. and already there
is a crowded subscription list for the
interesting musical lectures to be illu-
minated by illustrative piano playing.
The subscription list is limited, how
ever, and only about so of those who
are anxious TO attend the musical lee
lures will find a place in the audience.
The lectures are to be given at the
ST. Francis and are announced in the
following order:

way, and efficient as well as charming
in that capacity. The tea was given
in the colonial ballroom at the St
Francis, and there were several hun
dred guests present and many hand
some gowns in evidence at the ella b.

esses was almost the same as last
year, with the addition of a few new
names of society women who have time
to devote some attention to the prog
ress of the chapter. There was a
song by Mrs. Richard Bayne that re-
ceived enthusiastic applause. but Mrs.
Bayne is always well received when she
consents to appear upon any program.
Miss Winffred Mears told fortunes in
an extremely clever and amusing
fashion during the afternoon and those
who recognized her under the disguise
and others who did not guess the
Identity of the fair seeress were
equally pleased with the forecast of
their future. While the program was
in progress there were side attractions
for the inattentive or restless ones in
the audience, for tea and punch were
served besides the sale of Maryland
biscuit and homemade candy. The
sale of the biscuit and candy netted a
neat sum. The patronesses for the oc-

somewhat of a philosopher, and has

carry extra weight, in view of the fact
that the athletic maid surprised her
friends recently by canceling her own

should not marry until she is 25 at
least, and discourses as follows upon
the subject:
