Recent visitors to San Francisco
during the week were tho Due and
Duchess de Richelieu, who arrived
Sunday evening and departed yester-
day for the south intending to visit
for some days In Los Angeles. Dur
ing their sojourn here they were
guests at the Fairmont. With such
distinguished visitors in our midst
it would seem that San Francisco
would outdo itself for their enter
tainment, but this was not so, as
the couple were on their honeymoon
and the trip was less a visit to Cali
fornia than a sightseeing tour. Every
minute OF their four days here was
spent in visiting the different places
of interest, with informal luncheons
and dinners thrown in at heriaomes
of the brides relatives The duchess
was formerly Miss Eleanor WISE a
daughter of Rear Admiral Wise,
u. s. N, and cousin of Mrs. Charles
Glover Jr., who will be remembered
