SOCIETY
AT no period of the year Is soci
ety more widely scattered than
at the present time, and San
Franciscans may be found so
journing in all parts of this
continent and Europe, while many are
journeying as well In the orient It
\u25a0Rill be but a brief time, however, until
the travelers will turn their faces
homeward and but a few weeks will
elapse before the closing of the sum
mer homes will begin. The early fall
has the promise of several weddings,
and these will prove to be the first
gatherings of the new season.
During the last week two engage
ments of Interest have been announced,
those of Miss Edith Miller and Lieuten
ant Matthew Thomllnson, U. S. A., and
Miss Lillian Selz and Steuart Cotton.
Miss If tiler's betrothal was formally
made known to her friends at a small
tea at the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Miller, in Sausalito, on
Thursday afternoon, at which she was
assisted In receiving by her sister. Mrs.
G. C. Simmons (formerly Miss Gertrude
Miller), who came from her home in
Sacramento especially for the occasion;
her cousin. Miss Helen Pierce of Sac
ramento; Mrs. Wolfe (formerly Miss
Mabel Watkins), end Miss Etelka Wil
liar. Miss Miller is a pretty, attractive
girl, with unusual fair coloring, and is
petite- end vivacious. She came origi
nally from Sacramento, where her
father was a leading banker for some
yert. They bave of late made their
home In this vicinity, however, and
have rr.any friends here. Lieutenant
Thomliason belongs to a Connecticut
family and is a graduate of West Point.
He Is handsome, clever and very popu
lar with his brother officers. He is at
present stationed on Alcatraz island,
but his battalion of the Twenty-second
infantry is stationed at the Presidio of
Monterey, and he and. his bride will
prob&bly make their home there for a
time. Their wedding will take place
early In September, but the exact. date
has not been arranged.
Miss Miller will be the third bride of
the summer In that regiment to come
from Sausalito. Miss Mabel Watkins
c.nd Captain Wolfe were married last
month, and It is a Question as to
whether Miss Miller and Lieutenant
Thomlinson will celebrate their wed
ding before that of Miss Etelka -Wil-
Har and Lieutenant Max Garber, whose
• vsrageraent was announced some time
agro. . - \u25a0.-.\u25a0 • - - *.\u25a0 \u25a0
Pretty Miss Lillian Selz and Steuart
Cotton will also be married soon, and
it is probable that September will rival
June as a favorite month for weddings.

The following item from a Los An
geles paper of recent date will be read
with interest by the many friends of
Mrs. Francis J. Heney, who has re
cently returned from southern Cali
fornia:
"Despite the fact that the visit here
of Mrs. Francis J. Heney and her hus
band was a short one and filled to over
flowing with sight seeing and other re
creations for the busy attorney, a num
ber" of informal affairs were planned
for her. These Mrs. Heney was obliged
to forego, however, and her social
duties focused themselves into a few
short tete a tetes with former girlhood
friends, among them being Mm. Walter
Newhall of Chester place and Mrs.' Ozro
W. Child*.
*llrs. Heney Is one of San Francisco s
most charming women. The heritage
*of gracious manners, pleasing voice and
bright Intellect and beauty being here.
Her mother, Mrs. John McMullan, was
the toast of Kentucky In her, girlhood
days, in which state she was born and
raised. Mrs. McMullan's father was in
the United States senate for. more than
20 years, and his handsome daughter
'was much admired in diplomatic circles
In Washington as well as in the south.
She and Captain McMullan came
west and Mrs. McMullan soon became
leader in the brilliant social life into
which she was ushered. Her daughters
have all made brilliant marriages and
each has been noted for the same gifts
of beauty and grace as their mother.
"Mrs. Heney was educated In Ken
tucky and spent much of her time
abroad, although she. has spent much
time, too, in San Francisco. On the
occasion several years ago of being
presented at the court of Queen Vic
toria the young woman was considered
the most beautiful of the women of the
American colony. / Mrs. Heney is fair
complexioned and slight of figure."

Portraits are shown today of Miss
Elsa Draper and Miss Dorothy Draper,
the pretty daughters of Colonel and
Mrs. T. W. M. Draper, who are at pres
ent enjoying life to the fullest extent
on the Atlantic coast. These two sis
ters are a decided contrast in their ap
pearance. Miss Elsa being very tall and
slender, with brown eyes and fair hair,
while Miss Dorothy Is petite and ex
tremely fair. There are many rumors
that both are being urged to remain
permanently in the east, but they insist
that they will return here In the fall to
spend the winter, "heart whole and
fancy free." They are now at York
Harbor. Me, but will probably return
to California in a few months.
