this, the young woman is entitled TO
due credit, as she undoubtedly could
have had her pick of the impecunious
princes of the world had she chosen to
so establish herself. AS for our young
fellow townsman (Philadelphian), who
has now become a denizen of New
York, when among us he mildly cut
his eye teeth upon dainty social and
theatrical morsels, after the manner Of
wealthy young men about town, and
did not seem to be likely ever to revo-
lutionize the world by Jovelike flashes
of genius. Yet, as Bill Nye suggests,
"a talent is equal TO about $1,000 and
fortunately for him. young DrexeI was
born talented. Moreover, in my
humble opinion, and begging pardon
of those who hold the received views
of worldly success. it is highly to his
credit that he showed no taste for
business and evinced no ardor for
money making. How this rare es-
Unable quality will resist the con-
taminating atmosphere in which he
will now find himself remains to be
seen. He is so young that we may yet
see him develop into his father in
laws righthand man. which L devoutIy
pray God may forbid" A remarkable
philosopher is Peggy Shippen.
One of the recent engagements that
caused stir in the army set was that
of Miss Emma Turner and Lieutenant
George Ruhlen Jr. The news of a
betrothal at an army post is a morsel
of rare interest, but there is a uni
versal curiosity about these senti-
mental secrets and every one is pleased
when a new enga cement is told for
mally. The bride elect in this engage
ment is remarkably pretty girl and
has had a number of devoted admirers
during her stay with her sister, Mrs.
Fred Stopford the wife of Captain
Stopford. She has been a favorite at
the Presidio hops and has been in evil
dence at the informal afternoon par
ties at the post this season. Lieuten-
ant Ruhlen is at work upon the new
done some excellent planning in that
interest. He will travel about the state
this summer with others in search of
data for the map, but will return be-
fore September. The wedding has been
set for that month and probably will
be brilliant affair with the military
atmosphere and the full dress uni
forms that add glitter to any occasion
of the kind. Ruhlen is the son of
Colonel George Ruhlen. who is attached
to the quartermaster's department with
headquarters at Washington.

Mrs. Alexander Lilly Mrs. John Brice
Unlike many American girls who
have unlimited wealth to spend on their
trousseaux, Miss Gould bought all her
gowns. suits and hats in New York, ac-
cording to the Washington Post. The
2e costumes which form her wedding
outfit, ranging from smart yachting
suits to beautiful ball gowns, even in
cluding the magnificent wedding bridal
dress, have all been made by a well
known New York firm after French
models. The same firm designed and
made the gowns that were worn by
the brides attendants. and they in
clude exquisite creations of lace, chif-
fon, silk and embroidery.
All the afternoon dresses and some
of the morning costumes are made with
the round or square neck, which Miss
Could likes and finds particularly be-
coming.
A white satin ball gown, which is
one of the handsomest of the trous-
seau, is made with a tunic of applique
lace and gold embroidery. The neck
is square and the trimming forms a
V. The lace tunic is caught at the
shoulders in the back, so that it falls
straight and is tucked under the finish
ing white satin band at the bottom of
the skirt.
A restoration ball gown of sulphur
colored satin charmeuse is trimmed
elaborately with golden and crystal
bugles and embroidered with gold. The
skirt is narrow and quite short for for
NAL evening dress, after the prevail
ing French style.
One of the most charming of all is
an afternoon dress in Italian style,
made of morning glory marquisette
glace and shot silk of exactly the same
shade of mauve and blue. The waist
is cut in the new straight line across
the neck, with the trimming of mauve
and blue embroidery finishing this and
continuing down the narrow kimono
sleeves. The overdress is cut straight
across the bottom and adorned with a
wide and heavy embroidered pattern
in shades of blue and mauve silk.
A tea gown of white and pink woven
satin showing a wide border of daisies
and Louis Quinze ribbon bows has a
removable coat of palest pink chiffon
edged with gold and silver embroidery.
Straps of pearl trimming show through
the chiffon coat at the shoulders.
This bride has included four tailor
suits in her trousseau-one dark blue
serge. trimmed with buttons and loops
and made with a rather long coat; one
white serge yachting suit, trimmed
with blue satin edged sailor collar
and with blue and white striped tie;
a heavy rough white serge. with half
fitting coat and skirt made with panels
at the front and back. There are braid
ornaments trimming this, and the skirt
has a deep yoke. The fourth suit is
a cream colored homespun made in
the simplest style for country wear.
Besides these a blue serge morning
dress, with white frills at the neck
and sleeves. a tussore morning dress
and two elaborately embroidered lin

The engagement of Miss Helene Ir-
win and Charles TempIeton Crocker
was the social excitement of the week.
IT was not unexpected. However, the
news was none the less interesting and
created a furore of gossip in the smart
set. Miss Irwin is one of the wealth
sest as well as one of the most attrac-
tive girls in local society. so that the
news of her engagement would have
been Of surprising interest at any time.
When the bridegroom elect is Temple
ton Croker the interest is twofold.
The wedding. it is said. will not take
place for several months and will be
probably a home affair. as Miss Irwin
is Of the Roman Catholic fadth and
Crocker is an Episcopalian. The home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
william G. Irwin. in Washington street,
is one of the most palatial in the city
and has been the scene of some Of the
most memorable social affairs of many
seasons. Miss Irwin was member of
the exclusive Gaiety club, composed of
a score of the younger girls. and some
OF the most elaborate entertainments
ever given by the club were given at
the Irwin home. Miss Irwin has been
abroad with her mother the greater
part Of the last few years. She has had
delightful time abroad in social af-
fairs and was feted in New York and
in Honolulu as we'll Miss Irwin's
father is one of the wealthiest planta-
tion owners and bankers of Honolulu.
Templeton Crocker is one of the most
eligible of the young bachelors. and
the announeement of his engagement
to the heiress Will be of wide interest.
He is a brother Of Miss Jennie Crocker
and Of the late Mrs. Francis Burton
Harrison. He is grandnephew of
the late D. Q. Mills and a son of the

"-HE week has had an orange
blossom atmosphere. 1t has
been a time of marrying and
giving in marriage. There
were two or three important
weddings in the service set and the
news of engagements has been added
TO the social record. The brides have
monopoIized most of the social atten-
tion during The last few days and there
have been several announcements for
June weddings. The younger set has
been active and interested in every
morseI of gossip of the brides and
brides elect almost to the exclusion of
other social interests The older peo-
pie in society and the children have
had such happy time at the play on
Friday evening and yesterday after
noon at the Garrick. The play was for
Charity and was guided to financial
success by score of society women.
p The extravaganza had the picturesque
title When Fairies Rule" and was from
the pen Of DR.. Wilson shieIs. The music
was catchy and attractiveIy written by
Dr. Humphrey Stewart. Society crowded
the theater in the name of charity at
both presentations and brought the
week TO a successful close socially.
The surprise of the week was the
wedding Of Miss Margaret Thompson
and Ensign Charles Conway Hartigan.
The young officer was transferred from
the West Virginia to the Yorktown. and
since the future seemed indefinite to
these two young people they decided to
be married Immediately and dispense
with the elaborate wedding they had
planned for June. The wedding took
place Thursday afternoon in the Roman
Catholic chapel at Benicia barracks.
The Rev. Father Rourke ofhciated.
The maid of honor was Miss Laura
Benet and the best man was Lieutenant
William Oscar Spears. [. s y. The
bride Wore a tailored suit Of blue broad
cloth trimmed in blue and a hat to
match the pretty costume. None of the
pomp and glitter that had been ar
ranged for the June ceremony was in
the appointments. There was extreme
simplicity in every detail The we'd
ding was to have taken place June l in
St Mary's cathedral in this city. The
brides sister, Mrs. Charles Norris, was
coming from New York TO be present at
the ceremony and the three attendants,
Miss Elsa Hinz, Miss Laura Benet and
Miss Dorothy Draper, were already
chosen. The quiet ceremony last Thurs
day was celebrated instead. After the
wedding Ensign and Mrs. Hartigan
came to this city for a few days before
going south on their honeymoon trip
They viii return to Benicia for the
present Happy" Hartigan is one of
the most popular Of the younger Off
GERS in navy circles. The bride made
her debut a few seasons ago and has
been greatly feted. She is daughter
of the late James Thompson and a sis
ter Of Miss Theresa Thompson Her
brothers are Joseph, Frederick and
James Thompson.
