Mrs. Andrew Welch is lingering in
Santa Barbara somewhat longer than
the others of the Blingum set who
were summering in the south. Mrs
Welch has the habit of going south
every year and usually extends her
visits over several weeks. She has
been hostess at several of the elab-
crate parties of the early season out
of town, and in turn she has been
complimented at some of the delight
full parties of recent date. The Moor
ish dinner given for Mrs. Welch by
Mr.. and Mrs. Milo M. Potter was rarely
beautiful The setting in the oriental
room was effective and a wealth of
pink blossoms surmounted by lotus
formed a centerpiece for the large
round table The pink shaded cande-
labra rose from a lattice of amaryllis
and asparagus fern on the table COM
pleting the effect in tones of pink
Mrs. Welch wore one of the most at
tractive gowns of the occasion. She is
a piquant type of brunette and affects
golden hues gowns this season. Her
gown at the dinner was fashioned of
corn coloreJ satin with a close fitting
bodice of embroidered net. The over
skirt was embellished with squares of
corn colored passementrie richly en-
bossed. With this exquisite gown she
wore her pearl necklace and wore
pearls in her dark hair. Mrs. Potter
was gowned in cornffower blue with
an overdress of gold net edged with
gold fringe Mrs. Henry Clarence
Breeden's gown was black with touches
of white satin and Mrs. Walter New
hall was gowned in rich costume of
old gold and dull blue elaborately
braided with gold. The gown was fin
ished with an edging of fur. Miss
Nina Jones wore a pale yellow crepe
de chine finished with an overdress of
silver.
Mrs. r. j. Flood left last week for
a visit in the north, and during her
entertained at the home of her father,
A Durham. Mrs. Flood is frequent
visitor in the northern state and is
always the incentive for many social
affairs during her presence among her
old friends.
1t is almost an invariable social Gus
tom TO present each attendant at a
wedding with gift at the rehearsal
supper or bridesmaids luncheon, as
every one knows. Probably, however
the autumn bride is asking desperately
What shall 1 give my bridesmaids ~
The question is an old and always a.
new problem for the bride. There is a.
long list of brides who have shown a
shining example in the past and per
haps their plan may be of assistance
to the doubling ones. Mrs. Andrew
Welch gave each of her attendants an.
emerald and pearl pendant that is vet
a treasured posse ession in each case.

The dresses and hats were exquisite
gifts for the bridesmaids at that we'd
ding
Mrs. Frederick Lawrence Murphy
who was Miss Alyce Sullivan. gave
each maid in her bridal party pink
enamel heart decorated with exquisite
pink and white pearls. Mrs. Arthur
Vincent who was Miss Maud Bourn
presented each attendant with costly
pearl and diamond pins, while the
comtesse de Tristan, formerly Miss
Josephine de Guigne, gave her brides
maids each beautiful stick pin rather
than a brooch that had become the
conventional gift
1t is simple enough to advise unique
appropriate or individual rather than
handsome gifts but the thought there
off, Even if a bride is inexpressibly
wealthy she likes to put thought into
the giving and then there is the prob
lem of selection.
Jewelry is the first choice for such
gifts There are now beautiful bits
in French jewelry, enamel or baroque,
and seed pearls at moderate prices.
Brooches representing a spray of
orange blossoms developed in seed
pearls are appropriate, so are small
heart pins, either solidly studded in
seed pearls or with an open outline of
baroque ones.
Small charms for watch or chatelaine
in bridal emblems are unusual. These
might be a tiny garter in deep yellow
gold, wedding bell with initials of
bride and bridegroom and the date en-
graved on it; small figure of Venus,
the goddess of love, or an oval locket,
plain or jeweled, containing pictures of
bride and bridegroom. On the right
side should be a large monogram of
the bridesmaid and on the opposite side
the entwined initials of bride and
bridegroom with wedding date beneath.
Shirtwaist rings are inexpensive and
sign of the zodiac under which the
bride was born, if all are alike, or with
each bridesmaids particular birthsign.
1t is now quite smart to give pair
of gold or enameled hatpins with inter-
twined initials of bride and bridegroom
and date. Equally appropriate are
those set with birthstone of bride or
different bridesmaids.
One bride had designed belt pins of
a size to be worn at waist or back
of neck. They were in small topaz
her birth stone-and comprised her own
and fiance's initials set in a circle of
gold, on which was engraved the day,
month and year of wedding.
For most costly gifts dog collars or
necklaces of gold. French jewels or
enamel are pleasing. Equally SO are
ornaments for the hair or jeweled bow
knot pins.
One bride delighted her entire we'd
ding party by presents of oblong shoe
buckles studded with rhinestones.
For wedding to be celebrated on the
lawn another bride has given long
handled parasols Of white lace over
