AWHILE the debutante will make
M a demure bow to society before
long and will thoughtlessly oc-
cupy most of the social atten-
ton after her initial party, the bride
elect, who is ever person OF impor-
lance, will have a. goodly share OF the
delightful parties among the younger
girls. One of the brides 20 be who
has the center of the stage before her
wedding next month is Miss Katherine
Hyde, who will become the bride Of
Lieutenant Robert Melville Danford,
u S. A., at an October wedding. Mean
time there are several affairs on the
tapis for the attractive little bride elect,
and among these is the bridge to be
May Moffatt will preside as hostess
Another tea for which the date is not
announced will be in compliment to the
same guest, and Miss Justine McClana-
han will probably invite score or
more girls to her home in Broadway
for the occasion.
The repetition of the society vaude
vile that is to be an event of next
Tuesday evening at the Novelty theater
at Steiner and OFarrell streets is the
gossip of the hour, and the boxes for
the performance have been sold with
out the least delay. One of the first
Oh the society maIrO1S To secure d DON
for that evening was Mrs. Eleanor Mar
tin, who will entertain a party Of
guests. And many other hostesses have
planned theater parties for that occa-
sion. The tickets are 10 be on sale
this morning at Sherman, Clay & Co.'s.
where they can be secured until Tues
day, when the sale will be transferred
to the theater If there are any remain
ing tickets, which seems a doubtful
prospect at present. The reading room
for the blind is to receive the bene-
fits from 1.-THE vaudeville, and 1t is
worthy of particular mention that the
benefit will be the first at which the
public has assisted this charity The
rehearsals are going on almost daily
and there will be the same array of
talent that scored such a success at the
Menlo Park golf and country club. The
only change in the program will be
necessitated by the departure of Miss
Vera Havemeyer for the east, and since
her place is to be taken by Miss Enid
Gregg, there is even more anticipation
than usual. Miss Gregg is a clever
dancer and will take the part of an
attractive little Gretchen in the cast
of talented amateurs. Mrs. Frederick
McNear is working earnestly for the
success of the second vaudeville. as
she did for the first delightful affair.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank H. Powers are
at Carmel-by-the-Se for a visit this
month. and are entertaining Wilhelm
Funk. the well known portrait painter,
who is visiting here from New York.
and will return with the Powerses in a
few days to this city. where he will
remain for an indefinite stay and
doubtless will be feted by the artist
colony.
Mrs. Robert j. Woods and her daugh-
ter Miss Elizabeth Woods. are linger-
ing out of town. but will probably
return to their home in Clay street
about the first of the month and win
be accompanied by Mrs Charles r..
Peters. who has been summering with
them at Del Monte.
Mr.. and Mrs. William III. Taylor Jr.
have taken a house In Vallejo street,
where they will be established this sea
son and will entertain in an informal
way.
Mrs. Sidney BUDGET, who has been
staying at the St. Francis for several
days, leaves this afternoon for the
east, where she will remain for sew
eral weeks, hut win return to this
