the charming girl as her own grand
daughter
Miss Walker, perhaps. is the pret-
tiest girl who has come from the east
to claim social favors in San Fran
cisco. She is fair with intense gray
eyes fringed with black lashes and
has masses of dark hair that she wears
most becomingly.- At the concert given
Wednesday evening by the St. Francis
musical art society she was admired
more than is usual for so young a girl
She is unaffected, with an attractive
grace of manner that comes with care
full training. Miss Walker is a grad
uate of Eden Hall convent at Phfladel-
phia, and her younger sister is still at
tending the same school
Miss Walker was the compli1nented
guest a a tea given one afternoon last
week by Mrs. Philip Van Horne Lans-
dale and Miss Bertha Sidney Smith
Only the younger girls were hidden on
this occasion. and the afternoon was
one of the most enjoyable planned for
the pretty visitor.
Mrs. Walter Martin entertained at a
luncheon for the same guest of honor.
when Miss Walker was introduced to
several of the Burlingame girls Mrs
Eleanor Martin entertained at a box
party given Wednesday evening for

Miss Helen Jones left Friday for
Everett, Wash, with her sister, Mrs.
Webb Ballard, who has been visiting
at the family home in Buchanan street
Miss Jones is one of the popular debu-
tantes of the season and her friends
will be glad to hear that her visit in
the north will not be protracted. She
is one of the prettiest of the debu- |
tantes. and it was rumored more than
once during the season that she had /
been persuaded to look with favor upon 1
the suit of young society man who !
does not make his home in this city, I
but is always guest at the dances 1
and is devoted to this pretty daughter 1
of the Clinton Jones household. There i
seems to have been no foundation for
the repo4t, beyond mere gossip, since /
Miss Jones is a very independent lit l
tie debutante and would have confirmed /
the rumor had she thought Dame Ru-
NOR ought to know the truth.
Mrs. Ballard was the incentive for
several informal affairs during her
stay in town, for many of her old
friends were pleased with this oppor-
tunity of greeting the attractive ma
tron. Miss Jones will pass a few
weeks in the northern city with her
sister. but will return here for the
post Lenten parties.
