be has been showered with favors. The
Brigham family have passed much of
their time in Los Gatos and later
across the bay, but the two sisters,
Beulah and Gladys, have been over
here frequently and have a wide ac.
quaintance in the younger set. Miss
brigham is often the guest of her
charming young cousin and attends
some of the dances in the city. Her
f1ance is a Cornell graduate and at
present is prominent in engineering
work for the Western Pacific. His
home is in Buffalo, n. Y The wedding
date is still unsettled
An engagement announcement that
has been expected for many weeks is
still deferred and friends of the young
couple are wondering whether the dull
Lenten season Will be enliyened by the
news There is no doubt of the sim
cerity of the attachment, but the delay
in the formal confession has caused
some conjecture. The girl is young and
pretty, while her fiance is a young So
ciety man with time for serious pursuit
in business way. 1t was anticipated
that the announcement would be made
at recent tea given by the bride to
be. and all the girls of the younger set
went with their fluctuations up their
sleeves, so TO speak, but there was no
announcement. One debutante broached
the subject to the hostess and met with
smiling denial in the traditional way
that young women are privileged to
prevaricate. The announcement ought
to be forthcoming within few days
for the fact is established and smiling
denials will not count much longer.
The family of the bride are prominent
but are strict Episcopalians and will
not make the announcement at any
Lenten function. The news will prob
ably be told informally.

the gods have bestowed upon this
pretty daughter of the Wellington
Greggs. Enid Gregg is one of the tall
ented girls who are diversified in their
tastes and have elected to do many
things we'll rather than one thing di-
vinely She dances well, rides and is
fond of horses, but passes much of her
time driving her own motor. she is an
expert chanffeuse. and with all these
accomplishments has a nonchalance
that is fascinating. She does not boast
of her attainments, but takes the atti-
tude that there are still other things to
be conquered, and. truly enough, for
this charming girl he's not yet seen 20
summers. The years are long in which
she may perfect a few OF her gifts
perhaps, and acquire others that are
not yet revealed.
