Mrs. Harry Alston Williams, who
seems to have contracted the habit of
play writing, has produced another
little sketch entitled IF Things Could
Talk in Berkeley and will present the
same at an evening affair to be given
Tuesday in Unity hall in the college
town.
Mrs. Williams has been very success

simplicity is to be observed at the
ceremony.
Another wedding of the first month
of the coming year will be that of Miss
Marian Wright and Harry Campbell,
which will take place January u ;n

that will be of interest in the later
season.
The wedding of Miss Ethel Lincoln
and Ralston Hamilton was not the sur
prise that it might have been, although
the wedding bells were scheduled to
ring and did ring in a week after the
announcement of the engag cement.
There was no surprise manifest how
ever among the closest friends of the
couple, who have been quite aware of
girl for. many months past
Mrs. Jerome Lincoln and her daugh-
ter were at their ST. Helena country
home most of the time during the sum
mer, and, as matter of social history,
so was Ralston Hamilton. He has been
a great favorite at society affairs, but
his bride is one of the girls who has
chosen to pass her time in philan-
thropic work and has rather disre-
garded society as a source of diver
sion or mental profit. She has been
frequent hostess. however, at her hos
pitable home in Scott street and during
the summer has entertained at a series
of weekend parties.
True to her traditions of intimacy
and friendship only the closer acquain-
tances of the family and the relatives
were present at the noon wedding last
Wednesday The officiating clergyman
was Right Rev. William Ford Nichols
and there were no attendants for either
bride or bridegroom The brides gown
was one of the prettiest that has been
seen at any of the winter weddings
and was creation of white satin and
rare lace. The gown was made princess
and worn with lace VEIL while the
bride carried a shower of orchids and
lilies of the valley. The floral setting
for the ceremony was composed of
American beauty roses and carnations,
while the entrance hall was a bower
of green. There was an informal re-
ception after the ceremony and we'd
ding breakfast.
Among those present were the rela-
tives of the bridegroom and several
old friends. Those who offered con-
gratulations after the ceremony as clos
est to the family were Mr.. and Mrs
William Breeze. Mrs. Alexander Ham
ilton was there and also Mr.. and Mrs.
William Hamilton with the Hamilton
girls. the Misses Laura, Edna and
Alexandra.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton left last week
for the east and Europe. where they
will travel leisurely. and have not set
date for their return. They will re-
side here and will have coterie of
friends anxiously awaiting them, for
both are unusually popular.

same mastery supervision made the
occasion memorable and the historic
affair win be added to long list of
successes in social history. It was a
brilliant affair truly. and the credit of
hawless management is due to Edward
N Greenway who was the sponsor of
the occasion in the same way that has
perpetuated his popularity season after
season.
There were several hundred guests
and the brilliant party was given in
the white and gold room at the Fair
mont The gowns were bewildering in
1heir beauty and variety and every
thing that spells social success was in
evidence at the gala affair. The debu-
tantes are a pretty group this year.
There were dinner parties galore be-
forehand and the debutantes were out
in force at the dinners as well as at
the dance later in the eventful even
ing.
The debutante parties of the week
are an attractive record Of themselves
and the tea given Wednesday after
noon by Mrs. Edgar de Pue to intro
duce her charming daughter was an
occasion that delighted the debutantes
and their young friends. The older
guests also seemed to enjoy the affair
with zest. and among the receiving
party We're several of the matrons who
have been particularly kind to the
young girls.
There viii be several parties for
Miss de Pue and she is decidedly an
attractive addition to the coterie of
winter buds Since her return from
abroad she has been a favorite at the
informal parties. but her first season
has begun under the most favorable
conditions.
There was much to chronicle last
week besides the debutante parties in
the way Of engagements and weddings,
and a few surprises were of roman
tic nature.
The announcement Of Miss Margaret
Thompson's betrothaI to Charles Con-
way Hartigan, Y. s. y. or. as his
friends know him best Happy" Harti-
gan, was not one Of the surprises, but
2 pleasant bit of news nevertheless.
Miss Thompson has just returned from
the east. where she has been visiting
Rear Admiral Lyon and Mrs. Lyon and
her sister. Mrs. Charles Gilman Nor
ris, and viii remain here this winter.
Ensign Hartigan is with his ship. the
West Virginia, and the wedding date
IS indefnite that it may take place in
the spring is the supposition.
The announcement Of Ferdinand The
riots engagement to pretty Miss Hazel
Dolph. who is remembered as one of
the most attractive girls entertained
by Mrs. Eleanor Martin, was a sur
-rise. The pretty Portland girl is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Cyrus Dolph
and has many friends here. Theriot is
one of the most eligible of the local
bachelors He is cousin of Eugene
de Saba. comes from New York, has
been in this city for two or three years
and is a favorite at the clubs.
Miss Marian zeile made her debut
rather informally, but after the man

seasons, she did not wish the special
compliment of an elaborate tea or par

During the earlier season Miss zeile
has been everywhere with Miss Flor

Miss zeile will be entertained ex-
tensively this season. and has large
family connection to assist in the fes-
tivities in her first season.
Another debutante who has made her
appearance in an informal way rather
than at the conventional tea and sue
ceeding parties is Miss Louise Wal

and Mrs. Marshall Brown waliach..
The pretty debutante is a member of
the Friday Night club and was one of
the favorites at the first party this sea-
son of that exclusive little organiza-

Miss wallaeh comes from well
known Washington family and has en-
joyed the gayetes of the eastern city

popular among her young friends. but
has not been formally introduced, may
enjoy the parties of her elders. Among
those who will entertain for the debu-
tante later in the season are Mrs. J. w.
Mailliard and Mrs. Horace Hellmann,
but round of informal affairs will
fail TO the share of the attractive east
ern girl.
The news that Eugene de coulon was
soon to join the ranks of the benedicks
was a surprise to all but the nearest
friends of the clubman.
Since his last visit abroad the erst-
while society favorite has devoted HIM
self assiduously to business, and it was
soon whispered about at the clubs and
over the tea tables that -e Coulon had
left his heart ia the keeping of a
charming maid of Switzerland. That
the rumors of far away romance had
foundation in fact was revealed in
the announcement last week that the
girl to whom the popular De Coulon
bad capitulated was Miss Suzanne Ro-
bert of Neufchatei. Switzerland.
The bride elect is said to be fascin-
ating and pretty girl and is the daugh-
ter of Mrs. August Robert The we'd

couple will return to this city to reside
after wandering around in leisurely
way on honeymoon trip. The BRIDE
groom to be is a member of the Cosmos

The number OF weddings scheduled
for early January reads like June

of the first of these events in the new
year will be that of Miss Dolly Cush-
ing and James Jenkins, which will
take place January 4 at the Episcopal
church in San Rafael.

count of the recent death of Sidney

A Kind Hearted Waiter.

A surprising experience was that of
a lady who received a bit Of advice on
table etiquette She is sufficiently free
from vanity to tell the story herself.
She says:

to be short and stout and to dress
plainly. Still, I had hoped that ], had

At my first meal at the hotel where
I passed last summer was pleased
with the face Of my waiter. It was
radiant with kindness and good ma
ture. I began my dinner with soup
and fish. AS the waiter set them in
front Of me he glanced at the persons
Of fashionable appearance who were
my neighbors at table. His kind heart
was suddenly struck with the fear that
I might make an unfortunate impress

whispered in my ear:

Three Royal Toasts.

The "Greville Memoirs" tells this
story of King William Nv. of England
and the Duke Of Cumberland, his
brother: During dinner loud voices
were heard, which soon became more
vehement. Both brothers had drunk
more than usual, and the duke had
lost his temper and his head. Then
for the first time King William sus-
pected the idea which from that time
was never out of Duke Ernest's mind
that he ought to be the next king Of
England should no male children sur
vive his brother, William Nv. The
duke, rising, said: 'Call in the suit. I
am proposing toast. The kings
health; God save the king The suit
came in and drank it. Then the duke
said, May also, sir, propose the next
toastT Name it, your grace replied
the king. The kings heir proudly
said the duke, and God bless himv
"a dead silence followed. Then the
king, collecting all his energies and
wits, stood up and called out, The
kings heir; God bless her! Then,
throwing the glass over his shoulder
he turned to his brother and exclaimed
MY crown came with a lass, and my
crown will 60 to lass! Every one
noticed that the duke did not drink the
toast. He left the room abruptly"

FACTS ABOUT
THE CIRCUIT
THE FIRST SYMPTOMS AND
TREATMENT.
Some Interesting Information for
Young Mothers--How to
Guard Against the
Disease.

The great danger from Group is fully re-
allied by most mothers Of young children.
There are many, however, who do not know
that an attack Of Group may be prevented by
proper treatment as soon as the first symp-
toms appear. The first indication of an
attack Of Group is hoarseness. The child
becomes quite hoarse; this is followed by
rough cough that has something of metal
lie sound and has been compared to the
growing of cock. Give Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy according to the printed
directions with each bottle as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, Or even after the
croupy cough appears, and it will prevent
the attack. It is, in fact certain crre for
Group, and has never been known to fail, but
it is better and safer to give the remedy be-
fore the attack of Group is fully developed.
It then saves suffering for thechild and anx-.
iety for its parents. There is 10 danger in
giving this remedy freely, as it contains no
opium or other narcotic. It is the standby
and sole reliance in many thousands of
homes and never disappoints those who de-
pend upon it. There are women who took
this remedy in childhood, now giving it to
their grandchildren, and with the same uni.
form success. 1t always cures and is pleas
ant to take.

How to Settle Bills.

There is a young Harlem matron
whose mental equilibrium is upset the
first of each month by the prospect of
letting her husband see the size Of the
bills that come In for food, drink and
for her own personal adornment. Her
four-year-old daughter offered her a
valuable suggestion the other day Dis
to the simplest means Of settling bills.
The small child, seeing her mother
examining with clouded brow a bit
Of paper, inquired:
us it nice letter, mamma?'' -
'No; it's nasty big bill, dearie.'
The child's bright eyes closed as If
she were searching her innermost soul
for some word Of comfort. Suddenly
she flashed glad look at her mother,
and her voice had all the brilliancy of
one voicing an inspirations:
Mamma, jes' tear it up. Then you

A Martyr to the Fox,


A fox can climb almost as well as
cat and will often be found lying in
trees and on the top of ivy covered
walls. High walls covered with ivy
often surround private residences in
hunting districts. One of these do
main walls caused the tragic death of
a hound in the south Of Ireland few
years ago. There was belt Of trees
with thickish underground close up to
the wall, and the hounds were running
a tired fox hard through this belt.
Suddenly the cry ceased; there were
the unmistakable growing and worry
ing which proclaim kill. The mas
ter jumped off his horse and pushed
his way through the underground. On
getting to the pack, instead of finding
a dead fox he saw to his horror one
Of the best hounds torn to pieces. It
was easy to understand what had hap
pened. The fox had got over the wall
by the help Of some ivy, and the hound
had tried to jump over after him, but,
falling back among the others, had
been killed before they realized their
mistake Standard.
