may have been violent and sensational,

There is less and less of idling

The marriage of Miss Lise EmeHe
Brorby and George Nicolai Krull took
place last Wednesday evening in the
Trinity Evangelical lutheran church In
Howard street. The officiating clergy
man was Rev. E. NJ. Stensrud, a rela-

hundred guests at the church but only
the closest friends with the relatives
of the couple were hidden to the re-
ception later at the home of Rev. and
Mrs. Stensrud in Nineteenth street. The
bride comes from Decorah, Iowa, where
she has many friends and where she
was teacher in the public schools

We are to have a new book upon
society that ought TO be gem
from the value of practical experience
if not from literary point of view.
Frederick Townsend Martin, the New
York society man, who is international
ly famous as an entertainer and as the
vice president of the American embassy
society, will come before the public
formally as a sociological philosopher
when his book, The Passing of the
Idle Rich." is brought out next autumn
by one of the leading publishing firms.
The author, in a recent interview,
has the following opinion to offer the
social body anent his first effort in au-
thorship: Il feel that 1 can speak with
authority on the subject of society and
that 1 can right erroneous impressions
that have been made upon the public
by persons who brought only~alien eyes
to their studies and observations and
writing on the subject of the wealthy
in America. There was no sanity in
the maunderings of Upton Sinclair. who
got his view of society by way of the
servants hall, and William Allen
Whites book, "A Certain Rich Man."

-HE social flutter incident TO
weddings and the gossip of
engagements have been almost
the sole interest of society for
DAYS. The dullness is explained
by the fact that society is donning
it's summer garb and win soon be off
for the country. There is enthusiasm
enough over the joys of country life
and house parties are planned for the
later season. It is an alluring program
for the country hostess TO assemble sew
eraI congenial spirits over each week
end during a long season out Of town.
The homes at Burlingame will be open
most Of the summer and there are
parties galone planned for that part OF
the country. The home Of the Eugene
de Sablas at Fl Cerrito is one of the
most hospitable in the countryside and
the daughter of the household. Miss
Vera de Saba. viii entertain frequently
and variously during the summer. The
Glen Tobins are established now in
their new home situated next to the
De Saba house and near the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Welch. The house
will be remembered as the former home
of Mrs. Eleanor Hyde Smith. who lived
there with her daughters. who are
now Mrs Harold Dillingham; and Mrs.
Baldwin Wood. The Walter Martins
entertain more or less during the sum-
mer and the Oscar Coopers are another
family that viii be at home during
the greater part of the season. Mrs.
Eleanor Martin is a frequent visitor at
both of these homes and since Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Martin are TO remain here
they viii be often among the weekend
guests. There viii not be much enter
-tainment in the Crocker home should
Miss Jennie Croker go abroad. It is
not settled that she viii, however, and
she may return later in the summer to
BE- her country home. Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam G. Hitchcock have an attractive
home at san Mateo and win entertain
after their custom of other years in a
thoroughly delightful and informal way.
There is really no program about these
summer affairs. but they viii be attrac-
tive rs the season advances. Mr., and
Mrs. Andrew Welch viii be at home
part of the time. but viii pass part of
the summer according to their intention
at present in Santa Barbara. For the
folk who remain in town, meantime,
there is the wedding gossip of June.

The army set had at least one en-
gagement last week that furnished food
for comment at the Presidio. The
betrothal of Miss Della Evangel Jones
and Lieutenant Halstead P. Council
man was told formally by the parents
of the bride elect, Chaplain and Mrs.
H G. Jones. The pretty army girl is
a favorite at the post and while every
one has been certain for several weeks
that she had consented to be the bride
of the young officer. who was such
frequent visitor from Fort Baker the
news was not confirmed until last
week. Miss Jones is an attractive and
an accomplished girl and has taken

Ensign John Lewis and his bride, who
was Miss Leonora Music. were in the
. city for a few days last week and the
friends of the couple had brief visit
with them. The wedding was one of
the prettiest of recent events and was

Stockton. There was an informal re-
ception after the ceremony and among
the guests was Miss Anna Peters, who

that are known in the local set and
several officers from the service set
were in attendance. The bride wore an
effective creation OF real lace with a
veil and the conventional orange bios

tracted much admiring comment. The

was the gift of the bridegroom. The

Mrs. Beryl Graydon was sponsor for
one Of the unique entertainments of
the week in the guise of a chantecler
dinner party. The dinner was given
at the Fairmont and the occasion will
be remembered by the guests as one of
the most enjoyable of recent date.
Among those at the table were Edward
NJ. Greenway, whose early departure for
Europe has been the excuse for any
number of charming affairs. The
hostess of the occasion was applauded
for her originality and there was rea-
son for her to be proud of the success
of her plan. The central figure on the
table was a dominant bird of lordly
mien and several roosters, smaller of
stature. but quite as aggressive we're
studded about the table between the
floral adornments. The chicken was
ubiquitous and was introduced in every
course but in varied form. The ices
were roosters of remarkable proper
tions and one of the surprises of the
occasion was a pie that was opened to
release four and twenty little chicks.
The fluffy souvenirs were carried home
by the guests.

sister, Miss Sara Cunningham, arrived
from the east last Wednesday and
came also to be guests at the we'd
ding. The days preceding the we'd
ding are crowded indeed with informal
parties for the bride elect and there
is a greater impetus, perhaps. to the
entertainment owing to the fact that
the future home of the couple will be
established elsewhere. Charles Mills
new home of the couple consequently
will be in the south. There is a re-
gret in that fact for the friends of the
pretty bride elect, but she has prom
ised to visit here frequently and her
friends have to be content with this
consolation. Miss Nichols has an at
tractive array of enga cement cups and
her wedding presents that have al
ready found a. place in her home are
exceedingly handsome in their number
and variety Her fiance has recently
returned after a long absence in the
orient He is an extremely clever man
and has made many friends during his
brief stay in this city. The engage
ment was announced last year before
his departure for a trip around the
world The romance was begun nearly
four years ago when Mills was the
guest of Millen Griffith, the son Of
Mrs. E. L. Griffith, at Ross. When Miss
Nichols visited in the east Mills was a
student at Yale and they met again.
The friendship was continued and
shortly after his graduation from col
lege Mills came here on his way around
the world. The visit proved to the
friends of the couple that the ac-
quaintance had ripened into romance

while the young collegeman was a
visitor in this city.

New Postoffce Rules

A postmaster formulates the fol-
lowing rules for the benefit of his
patrons and that you may know
what you may exact: No letters
given out until they have been re-
ceived. If you don't get letter
or paper on the day, you expect
it, have the postmaster look through
all boxes and down the cellar also.
1t ought to be there somewhere and
he likes to hunt for it just to please
you. If your friend don't write
rave at the postmaster. He is to
blame. If he tells you no, put on
a grieved look and say there ought
to be some. He Is probably hiding
your mail for the pleasure of hav-
ing you call for it. Ask him to
look again. If you are buying
stamps make him lick them and
put them on, that's his business.
