the accomplished girl who is to be
his bride seems romantic enough for
a special disquisition.
The acquaintance began when the
two were boy and girl, and remain ed
a friendship until the last few months,
their friends say, while Miss Henry
was~et the bedside of her brother, Paul
Henry. who recently died after the
best efforts of the devoted physician
to save his life. The invalid was in
Colfax and Miss Henry gave up her
social and educational interests here
to remain with her brother. and every
week Doctor Reinhardt was a faithful
attendant. The friendship and mutual
care for the life of the sufferer seem
to have brought the couple into close
harmony, for less than year after
the death of her brother Miss Henry's
engagement was announced to the doc
tor who fought so valiantly for the
life that was dear to her.
Miss Henry is a woman of unusual
attainments along lines of mental en-
deavor, and has travelled extensively
She was prominent a few years ago in
educational work in Idaho, after her
graduation from the University of Cal
ifornia, and later went to Yale, where
she secured her Phi. ID. She has written
a clever book on Dante and has an
enviable reputation among scholars in
this country and abroad.
While she was in Italy she was the
guest of Mrs Lloyd Osbourne, who is
connection by marriage, and has
many friends conspicuous in the in
tellectua1 and social world. She is
sister of Mrs. Evelyn Henry Stoppani
of New York, who is a visitor here
with her parents. Mr.. and Mrs VIII
liam Henry in Berkeley, and is her
self an artist of repute in the musical
world. Miss Henry has contributed
clever articles to newspapers and mag
azines and has earned some reputation
as a public speaker.
After her marriage with Doctor Rein
hardt her home will be in Berkeley,
where the doctor is prominent
Miss Zeilah Lee Gibson, whose por-
trait is published today. is one of the
attractive brides elect of the season.
Her engagement to DR. Henry Matthew
Elberg of San Luis Obispo was a recent
announcement She is a graduate of
Miss Hamlin's school and has many
friends in town who attended the en-
Sagement tea given for lrer by her
hostess, Mrs. Frederick Van Devender.
Stott Miss Gibson was one of the re-
ceiving party at the tea given last
Wednesday for Miss Kathleen Farrell.
and held quite a reception on her own
account She has been entertained at
several informal parties since the news

form quite an important part OF the
social program of the season.
Miss Ernestine McNear, who was ex-
pected to make her debut this year.
has gone east to school. so that the
field is left to Miss Bowles. and her rel
atives will have chance to entertain
for her without stint.
Miss Bowles is a popular girl on her
own account and doubtless will be ex-
tensively feted by her young friends as
