THE SMART SIT :.

- HE news of weddings is dividing
favor with the gossip of debutante
teas and dancing parties this
week. The engagement of Miss Ethel
Lincoln and Ralston ssHamilton caused
some surprise, but the announcement
that the wedding will be solemnized
Wednesday. November II. will be just
as unexpected a bit of gossip. The
marriage of the popular couple VIII
take place at the Jerome Lincoln home
in Scott street, but without the usual
number of attendants and other elaDo-
rate detail. The impressive Episcopal
service will be read by Right Rev. Will
liam Ford Nichols, but only the close
friends of the couple will attend the
ceremony with the relatives. The bride

in the local set, and has Travelled ex-
tensively. She has entertained a great
deal this summer at Ethelwilde. the
fa naily home at ST. Helena, where she
passed the season with her mother,
Mrs Jerome Lincoln. Ralston Hamil-
ton is a favorite in club circles, and is
receiving many congratulations.
An engagement that has called forth
much felicitation for the couple con-
cerned is that OF Miss Frances Bridges
of San Diego and Paymaster Arthur s..
Brown of the United States cruiser Al
bany. 1t was announced at a luncheon
given at the Country club in the south
ern city, and came as a surprise to the
assembled guests. The bride to be is
the daughter of Mrs. E. c. Hickman of
San Diego, and is fav0rite socially.

in this city last season.. The young
officer will leave probably for the
orders for foreign service, and the we'd.
ding date has not been determined.
One of the newest dancing clubs, and
one that will have four of the most in
teresting dancing parties of the season,
is called The Neighbors. 1t was or
ganized recently by a coterie of friends
residing near Presidio avenue. in Wash
ington street, Broadway and Pacific
avenue. The club has had one dance
already this season that was delight
full affair. The members attribute the
extraordinary success of the occasion
to the fact that the club is composed of
three sets of members--that is, the
older and married members, the young
people and the debutantes of the season
or the girls who will be debutantes
next season. This varied membership
gives the club an advantage over most
organizations that have to be confined
to one clique, and there is delightful
variety to the parties. Among the
families who are interested in the des-
tiny of the club are the Billiards. the
Posthlewaites, the Carrigans and the
Burrages.

Glover, U. S. NJ, have followed each other

the most notable parties for this guest

table was attractively decorated with
clusters of American beauty roses and

party followed the dinner.

Modern Stage Decadent Says Old Timer
And Tell n

New York, Nov 2j.-According to
James ]. McCloskey. old time actor
and playwright, there aren't many ac-
tors nowadays. Also the new theater
up in Central Park West is really
quite nice little theater. In addi-
ton, Mr.. E. H. Sothern seems to be Il
well meaning young man who should
have been born seventy years ago
when the conditions were such that he
might have learned how to act And
lowe don't do SO very badly, still you

he says. and signs, with an enthusiasm

it has been revived.

Washington, Nov. 25-In the Ian
shotgun has taken the place of the
soft word in the dealings of the state
department with Central and South
American republics. In the opinion of
many diplomats the aggressive Mr..
Knox, by his sharp handling of the
Chilean and Nicaraguan affairs, has
undone the greater part of Secretary
Roots work of changing the attitude
of those republics toward the United
States.
There is a radical difference be-
tween the. policy Of the preceding ad-
ministration and that of the Taft ad-
ministration in handling our southern
neighbors. 1t was the ambition of Sec
rotary Root to destroy the fear and
suspicious of the United States en-
tertained by Latin Americans and to
substitute fraternal, trustful feeling
in it's stead.
Mr.. Root made a long journey to
those countries, met their big states
men and business men and personally
assured them of the friendliness and
sincere interest of the large nation.
In the state department he showed the
greatest consideration and leniency in
pushing American claims against the
semi.bankrupt republics. He protect
