sister, Miss Laura Meyer. as maid Of

Mrs. Anson Herrick. and the other
two attendants will be the two brides
maids. who are Miss Minnie Gardiner of
Los Angeles and Miss Rachel Warren
of Chicago. George Anson Herrick
will act as best man and the ushers
will be William Meyer. Edward Meyer
and Lieutenant Arthur Owen.
The couple will ENJOY a brief honey
moon trip in the southern part of the
state and will return to reside in this
city. Miss Meyer has been the COM
plimented guest at a series of pleasant
affairs, and among the recent parties
of note in her honor was the luncheon
given at the Fairmont by Miss Hilda
Van Sicklen.
Miss Josephine LindIey entertained at
a delightful luncheon recently at her
home in Pacific avenue in compliment
to Mrs. T. a. Rickard of Berkeley. who
leaves shortly for the east and Europe.

the members of the committee who are
working for the "Fete du Printempsr
to be given during the afternoon and
evening of April 2S at the St Francis
for the benefit of the French mis-
sions. 1t was decided at the meeting
yesterday that the costume TO be worn
on that occasion should consist of a
white lingerie dress and one American
beauty rose to be worn as a sort Of
badge, and that the black hats would
be dispensed with for the affair. The
program is under discussion and it is
said that a very fine arrangement OF
musical numbers VIII be presented by
talented musicians who have been Sc
cured for the fete.

/ in despair. Meanwhile telephone
bills are rolling up. station
agents are interrogated. and the keen
est Hawkshaws in the freight and pas
senger departments of two great trans
continental roads are hunting the
whereabouts of a dress suit case
There is one dainty miss who has
in undesired possession one pair of
corduroy trousers. one pair hobnailed
shoes. one razor in good repair. one
strop in bad repair, two pairs Of
wooden socks. enough TO make any
miss shudder at their texture; some
long plugs of chewing tobacco, one
musty old pipe and one sweater.
One young man with classical
name has in his possession a sweet
party frock. long suede gloves TO match
with the frOck. lovely pair of pink
slippers and things to go with the
slippers. besides a various assortment
of articles which bachelor men know
nothing about.
1t appears that the young lady in
question, who is dissolved in tears over
her losses and her consequent inability
to attend a party last Saturday night
where several studious young men
from the university were present. went
that night from this city to spend
a week with the daughter of a well
known general agent who lives in a
college town.
AS the young lady is a great favorite
in the college town half of the uni
versity met her at the depot. and
three football men had a desperate
stuggle as to who was to have the
honor of carrying her dress suit case
to the house of her host.
After dinner as her host was enjoy

to does not know anything about him.
Meanwhile the railroadmen are re-
ceiVing valuable hints from the ladies
of their and other households as to
the best ways and means to locate
dress suit cases that are in strange
young mems hands.
They do not seem to labor under the
impression that the young man misses
the companionship of his pipe and his
socks.
