The San Francisco call., 1910-04-17

was a reception later at the home of
the brides mother, Mrs. Genevieve
Walker There were not many guests
from this city at the ceremony; in
fact, perhaps the only one from the
circle of relatives here who was pres
ent was Walter Martin. There were
many messages of felicitation sent
from here to the popular couple. There
were numberIess wedding presents and
some particularly handsome gifts from
the friends of the bride. Mr.. and Mrs.
Burke have gone abroad on their
honeymoon trip and will remain dur
ing most of the time in England and
ireland. The Burke family is promi-
net in Dublin, and the young couple
viii be extensively entertained.
The wedding of Miss Suzanne Kirk
patrick and Allan Macdonald had to
be postponed, much to the regret of
their friends Every one in the younger
set has been looking forward TO the
wedding with the most pleasant sort
of expectation. There was to be an
elaborate reception at the Fairmont
after pretty ceremony with several
attendants for the bride and much So
cial agitation over the event The
popular little bride elect was stricken
with jaundice. and all the plans were
changed. The invitations were re-
called and the wedding will be prob
ably one of the simplest affairs of the
season instead of one of the most elab-
crate. Some of the guests who had
been hidden by Colonel and Mrs. J. G.
Kirkpatrick for the wedding of their
daughter had come from their homes
in other cities and returned last week
quite regretful. Among the visitors
in the city last week who were here
for the wedding and returned without
viewing the event were Mrs. Miles
Potter of Santa Barbara and her
daughter, Miss Nina Jones. Miss Jones
is one of the closest friends of Miss
Kirkpatrick, and was very much dis
appointed and concerned over her
young friends illness. The bride elect
has been the feted guest at a round
of entertainments preceding the date
set for her wedding, and it may be that
the social affairs were a strain too
great for the popular maid. She is at
the Fairmont, and it is there that the
wedding win take place as soon as she
is able to be about again.
The lecture given last Thursday
evening by Mrs. Lloyd Osborne at the
Century club was an interesting occa-
sion. There was a large audience, too,
that greeted the speaker with enthus-
iasm. Mrs. Osborne spoke upon Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson as explorer and ad-
venturer and justified her point of view
in an entertaining description Of the
authors experiences in the south seas.
Mrs. Osborne has been in close asso-
citation for many years with the Stew
enson family and has collected great
amount of interesting data about the
gifted writer whose work is so famil-
lar to Californians. She has an intel
ligent grasp of her subject matter also
that makes her talk worth while to
literary students, as well as to those
who wish to be entertained in a per-
sonal way for an hour. There was an
audience in the hall Thursday evening
that promised well for the future sue
cess of the lecturer should she care
to continue her informal talks in pub
lie. Mrs. Osborne had subscription
list for the recent meeting.
The Presidio hop given last wednes-
day evening at the Officers club was
as delightful as the preceding dances
of the season. There is an atmosphere
of genial hospitality in the clu bthat
| fingers in the memory of the guests
as one of the most delightful of social
experiences. The clubrooms were dec
GRATED with flags and greens after the
custom of the club, and the background
was effective with scores of pretty
! gowns to add to the attractiveness of
the scene The dances are among the
events of the late season that are most
] important from the point of view of
