wedding plans. which are practically
undecided
The quiet of summer was dispelled for
a brief hour last Tuesday, when the en-
gsgement was announced of Miss Nora
Brewer of BurIingame and Edward I.
Cudahy of New York, but the an
nouncement was made in town at a
dinner party given by Mr. and Mrs. T.
c. Van Ness for the fair bride elect.
Only the members of the family were
privileged to hear the first news of the
betrothal. but that meant quite little
coterie at the attractive home, since
both young people have several rela-
tiyes here. Cudahy is a son of Micha Ell
Cudahy of New York and a brother of
Mrs. Jack Casserly of this city. while
his 'fancee is a member of one of the
oldest families in the social and politi-
cal game. She is a niece of the late
Frank McCoppin, former mayor and
sister of Frank McCoppin Brewer and
must be said, of that charming matron,
Mrs. William Denman, and is related to
the Van Ness family. The engagement
has been suspected. as most romances
are certain TO be in their course, but
few persons expected the real an
nouncement quite so early. The we'd
ding. too. will be an event of the near
future and will probably take place in
the Roman Catholic church at San Ma
teo. which has been the scene of sew
eral important weddings of recent
years. Miss Brewer is a girl with out
door tastes, II that is the correct sum
mary for her inclination toward tennis
AND other outdoor diversions, but is a
girl of great personal charm and a IA
vorite socially.N The wedding will be
anticipated as an event of high i'm
portance in the Burlingame set, as well
as by the friends of the couple in town.
MIR. and Mrs. John Faxon More.
who have one OF the most attractive
places in Santa Barbara. have been en-
tertafning at a succession of summer
affairs in compliment TO their visitors
from town. One Of the recent parties
was beach tea given for Miss Della
Jones. the daughter Of Chaplain Jones
of the Preside. who has been visitor
at the More home for several weeks.

hostess and has kept her home in the
south open during the summer since
she has been entertaining several
friends from town at weekend parties

enjoed the recent party in compliment
to Miss Jones We're: Mr. and Mrs

Here is a little story from Paris that
is an. enlightenment on the ways of
kings when they want pearls. and the
way of woman when she wants what
she wants, whether is be pearl or
a title But thus the story runs: Mrs.
William B. Leeds friends in Paris are
whispering that it is more than likely
that some day society will be aston
ished by the announcement that she
is 10 bear one of the greatest English
titles.
When King Edward passed through
Paris on his way to Biarritz last spring
he sent, a usual for Cartier. a famous
jeweler to bring his choicest gems. In
the lot was perfect black pearl valued
at 100000 francs Cs7O.oO0). a big price
even for a king to pay-too big perhaps
for although he talked much about
it Edward went to Biarritz without it
When he returned some weeks later
he again sent for Cartier.
L wish to see that wonderful black
pearl again" he said
1t has been bought" the distressed
jeweler-exp lained.
