The San Francisco call., 1910-12-18

Wiltshire gave a tea, mostly for de-
butantes, last Wednesday, and there
were two or three other informal par
ties for practically the same set of
girls.
Miss Dora Winn. the granddaughter
of Mrs. George Boardman. is the center
OF merry group and will be extern
sively entertained later in the season,
as in the beginning of the winter. Mrs.
Boardman sent out cards during the
week for a dancing party to be given
Tuesday evening, January 3, at her
home in California street, when Miss
Winn viii be the feted guest. The
dance is to be fancy dress affair and
the debutantes are looking forward
eagerly to the party.
Mrs. Edward Barron has invited the
debutantes and some of the older set as
well to the dance that she will give
Friday evening, December 80, for her
debutante daughter. Miss Evelyn Bar
ron. This party has been arranged since
the return of Mr.. and Mrs. Ward Barron
from Europe. The brother of the debu-
tante and his bride, who was Miss Gene
We've Harvey. were in London at the
time Miss Evelyn Barron made her de-
but and she was anxious that they
should attend her next largest party
this season. The weddings have held
the next place in social interest after
the debutante parties, or at least have
interested a large number of people
who have not had time for the affairs
of the buds.
A quiet wedding of the week, but
one with an unusual flavor of romance,
was that of Miss Sarah Louise Blake
and DR. Wallace Bruce Smith, u. S. n.
The marriage took place Wednesday
morning in st. Marks chapel at San
hut
hidden to the ceremony and wedding
breakfast afterward at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Henry Blake. The gallant navy officer
and the piquant society girl met in
the orient, where the Blakes pass most
of the year at their home in Shanghai.
Mr. and Mrs Blake returned early last
season and took the Leroy Hugh home
in San Mateo, planning to remain here
until after the wedding of their daugh-
ter, before going east.
The wedding last Wednesday was ar
ranged with the greatest simplicity.
There was only one attendant in the
person of little Betty Smith, the flower
girl. The bride wore a beautiful gown
of white satin with an overdress of
lace and her going away gown was
broadcloth in blue. DR.. Smith and his
bride are passing their honeymoon in
the south, but Will return to San Ma
teo for a while until their plans for
the future are settled.
Dr. Smith is a brother of Dr. Regi-
nald Knight Smith and has a host of
friends He comes of a well known
Alabama family and is a favorite in
the service set.
