JEROME SURGEON
 TO WED FRISCO BELLE

| Angeles Times announces the nuptials of the San Francisco belle and pop ular physician as follows:
 The engagement of Miss Mabel Gregory of San Francisco to Dr. A. J. Murietta, of Jerome, was announe- ed at noon yesterday, at a luncheon given by her sister, Mrs. Homer Boushey, at the St. Francis, Miss Gregory is a talented musician, a member of the Greenway Assemblies and one of the most popular bellies of the younger set.
 Dr. Murietta has been a friend of the Gregory family for many years. He met Miss Gregory in this city two years ago, through Mrs. Boushey. The couple became engaged six months ago, and planned June wed ding, but Dr. Murietta's business en- agreements made necessary the aband- onment of these plans.
 The wedding will take place Satur- day, at the Fairmont hotel, and the couple will depart immediately for a months honeymoon in the East.
 The wedding will culminate an in- teresting romance which dates back to the Bachelor s Ball year ago. On this occasion young Jack was an ar dent lover and sent his fair lady love eighteen orchids This was the topic of conversation for many months, as orchids at that time were expensive and two were considered an ample sufficiency.
 The bride-eleet formerly lived in this city, where she was a favorite. She is a graduate of Marlborough, and later with her parents moved to San Francisco. She returned for the Peyton-C Cotton wedding and assisted the bride as maid.
 Dr. Murietta is a graduate of St. Vincent s and also of the medical de partment of the University of South ern California, where he was 9 mem Der of several fraternities.
 The San Francisco Chronicle reports it thus:
 At handsomely appointed luncheon which Mrs. Homer Broushey gave in the red room at the St. Francis yes terday in honor of Mrs Frank B. Freyer, who has just returned from a two years residence in Guam, the guests assembled to meet ner were surprised by the announcement of the engagement of the sister of the hos tess. Miss Mabel Gregory, and Dr. A. John Murietta of Jerome, Arizona. It was a fitting tribute to sentiment that Miss Gregory's engagement should be announced at an affair planned for Mrs. Freyer, because three years ago, when the news of the en- gagement of Miss Engraeia Critcher and Lieutenant Freyer was told, it was done through the medium of a pretty tea given by ner most intimate friend, Miss Gregory, and at the bril- liant naval wedding at the Fairmont Miss Gregory was her maid of honor.
 The luncheon yesterday was attend ed by forty girls of the younger set, who gathered around the aower-deek- ed table to greet Mrs. Freyer. The decorations were suggestive of the Easter season, and consisted of masses of daffodils artistieally arranged in gilded baskets. Poised above each basket were golden butterflies, with crystal encrusted wings. Bows of filmy yellow tulle and yellow-shaded eandelabra aceentuated further the dainty effect. With the serving of the ices. little Gregory Boushey and Elizabeth Lefingwell distributed from -bedeeked baskets the cards telling the news of the betrothal of Miss Gregory and pr. Murietta.
 The bride-elect is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. II. K. Gregory, and is a girl of charming personality and much talent. She is one of the clever est pisnists in society, and has the rare gift of playing accomplishments exquisitely. She is a member of the Greenway assemblies, and is popular in the Army and Navy set, into which it has always been suspected that she would marry. She has pass ed the winter with ner parents at the Fairmont.
 Her fance is prominent in Los An geles, where is is a member of the California and Bachelors clubs. He is chief surgeon for Senator Clark s interests in Arizona.
 The wedding will take place quiet ly at the Fairmont Saturday evening, and Dr. Murietta and his bride will leave shortly for Jerome, Arizona, Al
