SOCIETY
This week and a few to come may be
called, to use the words of seaside corre
spondents of other days, the "height" of
the social season. There is enough going
on and enough set down for the near
future to satisfy the most enthusiastic
devotee of pleasure.
«J? ?f? #
The event of the week was the reception
given by Miss llobart, and which was a
most enjoyable affair and fully reported in
these columns yesterday morning. The
debutantes and belles of last season were
out in full force, to say nothing of a large
number of elderly people, who always add
to a ball.
It was quite 11 before people began to
arrive, but when they did the . dancing be
gan in good earnest and kept up until 4
and over yesterday morning. There was a
brave show of gowns, most of the buds ap
pearing in white. The house was beauti
fully arranged with Christmas berries in
addition to the usual things used by dec
orators and a goodly supply of mistletoe.
*t? f|f j|*
The Friday Fortnightly at its last meet-
Ing was rather elimly attended by the
regular members, owing to other attrac
tions, but the vacancies were filled by
guests, who seemed to heartily enjoy the
delightful informality that always attends
these dances. Mrs. Pierce, Mrs. Yoorhies '
and Mrs. Davis were among the chape- j
rons present. Mrs. Salisbury was greatly
missed, but is expected to return on '
"Wednesday next. The class is admitted I
by all to well deserve the reputation it has '
attained, of being one of the jolliest of the !
season. The next meeting will be. held
January 8, and special efforts will be made j
to make it as delightful as possible.
*!* *!* 4?
The audiences at the Baldwin have been
quite as gay and fashionable the past week
is any seen here this season, not except
ing those which greeted "Trilby" or De
Wolff Hopper. There were a number of
parties again last evening, Tuesday and
Saturday seeming to be the popular nights i
with the smart set.
!*? tjf «$?
Last evening the belles and beaux of the j
future enjoyed intensely the third meeting i
of their dancing class at Lnnt's Hall. As i
if to give the spectator an idea of the way i
the parts in the social drama will be sus- i
tamed in a few years from this time, they i
selected their "Patronesses" from the pres- i
ent list of belles, and with a charming !
amount of dignity did these young ladies j
fulfill their role of matrons. The dancers j
seemed quite at home and many of them, i
especially the girls, showed themselves to j
be already adepts in the art. They intend j
to make the most of the holiday season
and will have the next dance in about a
fortnight.
The marriage has just been announced, |
though it took place over a month ago, of !
Grove Davenport Deal to Miss Elinor j
Handy, both of San Francisco. The an- ;
nouncement was a great surprise to their j
many friends. The young gentleman is j
the only son of the late M. S. Deal, editor j
and proprietor of the Nevada City Trans
cript, and is a nephew of the present
owner, Nat P. Brown, and also of the Hon.
W. E. F. Deal, formerly of Virginia City.
The bride is a most accomplished young j
lady, a graduate of Notre Dame Convent j
at San Jose and is considered to be one of
the finest pianists on the coast. Mr. and i
Mrs. Deal will reside at Nevada City,Cal., he
having secured the appointment of deputy
postmaster at that place.

The Terpsichoreans have sent out invi
tations for their annual party, which will
take place this season at the Odd Fellows'
Hall January 2. The cotillon will be
danced and about two hundred and fifty
young people will participate.
tf? *&> ■■*$?
The week starts in with a dance and I
will finish with one. First comes the
meetine of the Monday Evening Dancing
Class to-morrow at Golden Gate Hall.
This will be followed by a round of din
ners on Tuesday, and among them being
the much talked of dinner-dance given by
Charles A. Baldwin in the maple room of
the Palace Hotel, to which about eighty
people havo been bidden. The affair is to
be copied from ' f the Eastern hunt balls.
The gentlemen, 1 believe, are to appear in
scarlet coats, knee breeches and white silk '
stockings. The ladies will appear in even
ing dress and in all probability have
powdered hair.
sib ?&-. tf?
Following this comes a number of din
ner and theater parties, and on Friday the ;
first cotillon of the Friday Night Club. I
No invitations to a resident of the State j
will be issued and no one will be admitted j
without a ticket. The participants in i
the cotillon are particularly requested to \
go early. No seats will be reserved after i
the first figure is danced, which will be ;
finished at 9:30.
4? !$? ?s!f
At the leap-year: cotillon, which takes j
place on the 17th, of January, and which j
will be led by Miss Sallie Maynard, the ;
ladies will all appear, in peasant costume, j
This should be a very pretty affair. Every
one remembers the one led by Miss Cor-
now Mr 9. MacMonagle, and the two
led by Miss Hager. ■ '
c/ !^^>;3b
Eastern mania seems to have caught on j
out here, not only in the late going to balls
and parties, but the holiday idea of going
: to the resorts to spend the Christmas and
New Year. Quite the talk now is about
Del Monte, where most of the smart set
i will be assembled to see the old year out
: and the new year in. The trouble in past
years has been the lack of attractions and
also, a most important matter to the busi
ness as well as the dancing man, rapid
transit. The management is determined
this time to make the event a notable one.
Music will be a feature of the New Year j
1 ball. The baths are to be opened ana a
special train will be run, and that to Del
Monte will go right through. Heretofore j
the specials have proven to be nothing '
j more than locals, but this time it will be i
j a special in earnest for those who go from
j this City, the regular train doing the local.

BECEPTIONS.
Last Thursday night Odd Fellows' Hall was
taxed to its full capacity, the occasion being i
the twelfth annual ball given by the Marine !
Engineers' Association. Ernest A. Lange acted
as floor manager, ably assisted by Frank Bragg
and E. Brady. The grand march started at 5) |
o'clock sharp, and was led by Ernest A. Lange
and Miss Lily Hemme; about 250 couples par
ticipated in the same. Dancing lasted till 1
o'clock, and everybody went home well satis
fied at having had a pleasant and enjoyable
evening:.
Maple Hall, in the Palace, presented a most
attractive scene on Friday evening, the 13th
I hist., when the Quarterly Cotillion Club gave
their opening german, which was well arranged
and carried out. The hall had never looked
gayer and brighter, and most of the toilets of
the young ladies were handsome and attractive.
There were gathered the wealth and beauty of
Jewish society of San Francisco. For weeks
not only the debutantes but many who have
been in society for several seasons have been
looking forward to this affair, and consequently
many handsome gowns wore worn to grace the
occasion. Four new and pretty figures were
danced— all of them pleasing and pretty, with
out being so intricate as to puzzle those
who have not as yet mastered the full meaning
of. the mysteries of this pastime. The figures had
I been carefully arranged, and under the leader
ship of Sanford Lewald and Miss Elsie Liebes
were gone through gracefully and accurately.
Those who danced in the lirst set were: Eugene
; Korn and Miss Lillian Goodman; Mark Good
l man, Miss Wanda Galland; Frederick
Harris, Miss Elsie Liebes; Gerry Rich,
Miss Hortense Levy; Abe (Jump, Miss Belle

Sellgsohii, Miss Edith Coblentz; Charles Doy- i
! chert. Miss Clemence Reiss; Walter Hirschfeld, |
1 Miss Rase Seligsohn; Emile Reiss, Miss Clara
i Banm; Sam Weller, Miss Belle Brandenstein.
; The figures danced were "The Grecian Cross,"
I "Rounds of Two." "Courtship," "Japanese ;
j Flag and Lantern.''
The debutantes were: Miss Mildred Nathan,
'■ Miss Belle Brandenstein, Miss Edith Coblentz,
Yiss Rose Livingston, Miss Marie Bauman,
Miss Clara Bamn, Miss Elsie Liebes and Mia)
I E. Rosenblatt of Portland.
Among the participants was Miss Mildred
Nathan, who made her initial bow to society.
She is a tall, handsome blonde and one of the
prettiest of this year's debutantes. She whs
gowned in a gorgeous lilac-colored silk dress,
trimmed with superb lace and cut decollete,
Hud wa.s unquestionably the belle of the even
ing. Miss Belle Wolfe aKo looked very charm
ing in a cream-colored silk dress.
The affair was one long to be remembered by
those who were fortunate enough to be present.
A surprise party was tendered Miss Florence
Licbt at the family residence, 145 Second

which the merriment was resumed until the
early morning hours.
The complimentary full dress ball to be
given by Hay City Parlor, Native at
Armory Hall, on Friday evening, .lunuary '.I,
1896, promises to eclipse all former events of
the kind given by this parlor. The committee
haying the arrangements in charge is sparing
neither time nor expense. An elaborate menu
will be discussed after the dance.
A very pleasant surprise party was tendered
to Miss Adie Oudehus and Miss Annie Ileit
man on the evening of the 4th of December at

rated for the occasion. Between dances light
refreshments were served to those present.

"I have a prodigious capacity for details,"
was the modest explanation furnished by
Napoleon for the amazing successes which
marked his career.
There is a whole lot of truth in this saying
of the "Little Corporal" if aDplied to the con
duct of great business enterprises. For in
stance, the success achieved by the world's
greatest caravansary, the pßlace Hotel, is not
due so much to the circumstance that it covers
12.000 square feet of ground or to its "magnifi
cent distances' which compel the admiration of
; the globe-trotter, as to the familiar fact that
the management has neglected no detail that
can minister to the comfort and enjoyment of
Us guests.
The establishment of the ladies' grillroom &s
an adjunct of the Palace was a happy idea in
this direction, as was shown by its immediate
popularity with parties after the opera and
ladies downtown shopping. And now another
i announcement is made that ilie fair San Kran
: ciscan accustomed to the delightful entourage
of the ladies' grillroom will note with pleasure.
I It is that a ladies' dressing-room, luxuriously
equipped with every up-to-date appliance
winch ladies of refinement know so well how
< to value, has beeu attached to the ladies' grill
! room, near the Market-street end of the hotel.
; A waiting-maid, skilled in the gentle arts of
her craft, will »be in attendance for the con
venience of the fair visitors. Downtown shop
ping, in view of these additions to the accom
modations of the ladies' favorite lunch resort,
will take on new charms for the stately lianit;
fll as tne modest bud. The dust of the
us climate of California lias an unpleas
sliion of insinuating itself into the folds

AFRAID OF BUCKET-SHOPS.
Member* of the Produce Exchange
Want to Crush Them.
Some of the members of the Produce Ex
change have got the "bucket-shop" scare
again. In a petition to the board of direc
tors, circulated yesterday, they request the
board "to enact such legislation as will
cause the members to cease patronizing
the so-called bucket-shops in the vicinity."
They aver that the business of the ex
change is "being cut into seriously by
these bucket-sbops, and. in the nature of
things, the success of one or two of them
will lead to the establishment of more, so
tb&t shortly Leidesdorff street will be lined
with them."
The petition calls for strong rules to pro
hibit the members from dealing with them,
and believes that "their manner of doing
business is disreputable and that their ex
istence is a menace to the very life of the
exchange."

NEW INSURANCE OFFICE
The Norwich - Union '.Company Will
-'. Establish* a -Pacific Coast Head
<: quarters in This City.
The most interesting insurance deal of
the year was finally adjusted yesterday,
when the Norwich Union Insurance Com
pany announced that after January 1 it
would open a general office of its own in
San Francisco, with W. H. Lowden as
manager for the Pacific Coast territory.
Mr. Lowden has been assistant manager
of the North British and Mercantile Com
pany.
This information was received yesterday
by Kolla V. Watt, general manager of the
Royal ana the Norwich l nion companies.
The Queen Company of England will
hereafter be associated with the Iloyal in
Mr. Watt's office. Some years ago the
Royal acquired control of the Queen Com
pany, and since then has befcn contem
plating a union of these two concerns on
the Pacific Coast. In carrying out this
desire the two companies ltave been placed
under Mr. Watt's management, and for
that reason, too, he gave up the Norwich
Union. In this connection, also, a circular
was issued containing the following: "Hie
Royal some years ago acquired the entire
business and plant of the Queen Insur
ance Company of Liverpool, and has since
that time controlled its business in Amer
ica. Tne Queen has about $4,000,000 cash
assets, nearly $1,250,000 net surplus, and
enjoys a premium income in the United
States of over $2,000,000 per annum. The
company will in ali respects do business
on the same principles as govern the un
derwriting of the Royal."
