Charming member of the younger set who will make her debut in society at a tea to be given this month.
THE woek just passed into so
••ial history came to a brilliant
climax with the dance of the
Cinderellas last Thursday even
ing, for the events preceding
that gala occasion and the later parties
did not *H-lipse The frolic at the Palace.
There were about 400 guests and many
of the old aristocracy of the city and
member.*, by the way. of the original
club of many years ago — more years
than one likes to rount sometimes —
were preesnt at the dancing party
Thursday evening. While the older
guests enjoyed the reunion with a zest
that was accompanied by the sentiment
of Jong association the younger set
had quite as good a time at their first
Cinderella ball. The program of the
Cindt-rellas and in fact the rule .that
distinguished them years ago was for
gotten at the recent dance and the hour
of 12 went by unheeded by the merry,
merry throng of dancers. The tradi
iion of the organization was that the
midnight hour closed the dance, but
that feature was unremembered or at
lo&frt disregarded at the late reunion.
The record of preceding, days . is com
posed of a list of informal teas with
an occasional debutante luncheon and
the last dancing party of the week was
jriven yesterday in Century hall by the
l'nivprsity assembly. There were wed
dings, too, during the days just passed
that will be memorable in the chronicle
of events and there were three or more
r>f social importance. The marriage of
Miss Eleanor Cushing and James Jen
kins was celebrated as quietly as pos
sible at the Episcopal church In San
Rafael and the bride was unattended,
while th" 1 wedding of Miss Mattie Mil
ton and Lieutenant George F. Neal was
one of the most brilliant of the recent
naval weddings' and took place Wednes
day afternoon aboard the U. S. S. Inde
pendence, of which Captain John Mil
ton, father of the brid<*. is in command.
The weddings of this week are the
r.ext topic of Interest and among those
that will take first place is the mar
riage of Miss Marian Wright, the sec
ond daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kirk
ham Wright, and Henry c. Campbell.
The ceremony will be at the home of
the bride's parents in Scott'street next
Wednesday afternoon and the color.
scfeeme for house decorations and for
the gowns is pink. The bride will wear
a robe of white satin and the lace
• mbeHishment is the same worn by
"hrr grandmother on her wedding day.
The matron of honor will be Mrs. Ed
ward Torney, who was Miss Jeancite
"Wright, while Miss Nina Curry will be
bridcFinaid for the occasion. Tlir^guest

in addition to the relatives V.f the
couple.

for a discussion of the • Mardi" Gras
(•all, but the cause is a guod;one and
the committr-e has hr-en so enthusi
astic that every on*? is looking forward
lo the event with pleasant expectation.
It was exceedingly kind of Mrs. C. "O.
Alexander to* concede that date for the
charity ball and transfer, her own
Colonial date to January 2S, everybody
agrees, but the dance to be given by
the ladies' auxiliary promises to justi
fy the change Jn the social program.
It Is promised that the ball" will rival
the old time celebrations at the Hop
.klniJ^iiJßtlJLut' _ol_a.rj: in_for,m«»r Aays
and that seems assurance enough that
the occasion will be both brilliant and
delightful. The-^proceeds of the ball
are to be used for the building fund
of the hospital and the tendency of the
younger set as well, as their elders
secerns to be toward the relief of those
less fortunate than themselves. Those
on the entertainment committee for
the occasion are Mrs. Walter Martin,
Mrs. George Cameron, Mrs. Worthing
ton Ames, Mrs. Sijas Palmer, Mrs.
Latham McMullen, Mrs. Harry Poett,
Mrs. Norris Davis, Mrs. Augustus Tay
lor, Mrs., T. Danforth Boardman, Mrs.
Earle Brownell, Mrs. Will Taylor, Mrs.
Fred McNear, Miss Linda Cadwalader.
Miss Jennie Crocker, Miss Mary . Joss
elyn and Mrs. Laurence Scott, president
of the auxiliary.
The wedding of Miss Eleanor Cushing
or •"Dolfy," as she is called affection
ately by her closest friends, and James
Jenkins took place Wednesday at noon
in the Episcopal church at San Rafael.
While the report went, abroad „ that
only relatives were present at the mar
riage the fact was not entirely true,
since there were a few friends of the
bride present that- would ; under other
conditions have been attendants at the
wedding. The fact that the family was
in mourning gave an "entirely different
aspect to the. occasion, of course, - and
the bride was unattended in conse
quence. The office of best man was
filled by Millen Griffith and the bride
was given away by her brother, John
Cushing. The church was crowded
with the friends of Ule couple who' at
tended the ceremony, but the wedding
breakfast later at the home of Mrs.
Sidney B. Cushing was enjoyed only
by the family and a few of the nearest
friends of the couple. The bride was
an attractive picture in Her gown of
white satin embellished with lace and
finished with a veil and coronet of
orange blossoms, while she carried a
small white prayer book instead of the
conventional bridal bouquet.
Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins have gone away
for a brief wedding journey, but will
return to occupy the pretty home that
awaits them in Mill Valley.
One of the weddings of the month
that society is watching with interest
is that of Miss Blanche Oelrichsand
Leonard M. Thomas of Philadelphia.
The details of the pretty ceremony that
will take place January 26 wilt be re^_
celved here with the' greatest delight,
for the bride to be is the sister of Mrs.
Peter Martin, and every one who knows
that attractive matron has an interest
in her younger sister;as a matter of
course. Mrs. 'Eleanor Martin is taking
the keenest pleasure in every detail of
the ceremony, since none follows with
a more intelligent mind the proceedings
of a large faniify than the sophisti
cated Mrs. Martin. She takes a kindiy,
view of each one's affairs, whether"sen
timental or commercial, and" is able to
give illuminating advice upon occasions
us well as taking a passue interest.
However, to return to. the wedding in
ihe cast, there .will be ajlargre 'guest
list, and Peter Martin, who was a
KXK-st at the home of his mother, Mrs;
Eleanor Martin, during' the early win-"
ter, left jußt before the holidays t for

nations that find favor at every party
of the holiday season and supper was
served at midnight. The feature of
the evening, however, and the incident

ance of the old time marine corps cus
tom. At the mystic hour of 12 the
lights were lowered and in the hush
of» suspense four buglers from the bar
racks sounded the low refrain of
"Taps." The last echo had hardly died
away when the new year was ushered
in with a blare of trumpets and the

note prolonged and then with one ac
cord every one in the house rose to
drink to the new IDIO.

The hare and hounds is the latest;
diversion to merit attention among
those , who 'like a gallop across coun
try after the manner of their English
cousins, but without the incentive of
blcodthirstiness. The Del Monte chase
arranged oy Captain William L. Reed
of the Presidio of Monterey was a
holiday event that surpassed even the
expectations of those enthusiastic over
the mild pastime out of doors. The
master of the hounds with the chaplain,
surgeon, umpire huntsman, hares "and
hounds all mounted and costumed ap
propriately met in the reservation and
rode out to the rendezvous at Forest
hill lodge. Two routes had. been laid
out for the hares, who received a few
miroites start before the hounds were
"la;d on." The scent was scattered by
the hares along the line of country that
they./ traversed an.l ' the sport was in
following the fluttering bits of paper
that told of their route/ After a run
of several miles through the pine for
est and open meadows the hares and
hounds met at Pebble Beach lodge for
tea.. There were prizes for being "in
at the death" and awards for straight
riding and booty prizes for \u25a0 the last
couple in at the lodge. By the w«y.,
these consolation ! trifles were given to
Miss Pickering and Lieutenant L. T.
Baker. Those who took part in the
sport were* a picturesque galaxy in
their colored sashes to indicate their
place in the hunt, but the spectators
were 'an interesting throng # of them
selves and came in carriages and motor
cars for tea at the~ lodge at the close
of day. Among the guests at tea were:

'.'One; of "the weddings of the week
that was of more ;ttian passing In
terest to the friends of the bride in
this; city was "that of Miss Christine
Kean Roosevelt, eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. . Emlen Roosevelt of
New York." to Lieutenant James E.

in the; Protestant Episcopal; church of
Zion and St.'' Timothy in West Fifty
seventh street, and the reception j was
held at the home of the bride's parent's
in. Fifth avenue.. The bride Is a cousin
of Miss Christine, Pomeroy of this.city.
and -was, a visitor herejn former sea
sons, so "that she had a wide, acquaint
ance'who* will Interested In the an
nouncement of : her : marriage to the
popular young army man. It will be
'remembered that. Miss Roosejvelt was
given by lira. Carter Pitkin Pomeroy,
and her daughter at their old home at
Clay and Hyde streets. She was the
incentive for severa* succeeding af
fairs and was considered a stunning
girl with a personality that made her
a favorite without delay. The invita
tions to the church wedding were gen
eral, but the reception later at the>
Roosevelt home was limited to the
relatives and close friends of -the
couple. The bride is a cousin of Mrs.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and the two
are very good friends as well as rela
tives, which conclusion does not al
ways follow for some occult reason.
Lieutenant Shelle and his bride are
enjoying a honeymoon tour of th»
east, but will be later established at
Fort Oglethorpe.
The home of Mrs. Philip Verrill
Mighels was the scene of a rather un
usual watch meeting on the eve of
the new year. The guests were mem
bers of the pioneer mothers* statue
committee and the assembly was pat
terned after the style of years that
have long passed into memory. The
hours preceding midnight were passed •
with music, poetry and sociability as
the announcement phrased the ex
change of talk and sentiment, until the
hour struck I:.'. There was silent
prayer at the hour for homes and
children of the city that they might
be protected from harm during the
coming year. The affair was truly an
Interesting combination of prayer and
pleasant fellowship that seems quaint
in this age.
