Show u tOith the Willies and the Wits. Hl J i '- J If more members of the smart set would adopt H ,' ' ii ' !j the Dooly-Kinney method of marrying, it would H' ' f 1 ' i be a vast relief for everyone. No fuss and feath- K ( ! ersj no "so and so entertained in honor of" to be Bj j ' I f ! roart every day, no presents, no raptures over Hf ' , j the bride's lingerie, and the groom's prospects. Ht 5 j , J 1 1 Just a quick and very private decision, one village H i I1 I1 j ' minister, a few grains of rice, more grains of H ( ( i ' j 1 1 sense, and then a sudden get away. A heap more H , !Mi ' . satisfactory for all concerned, and even if such H I I 1 1 j things are a little sudden for other suitors, most H VM f 1 o them get over the wound and try, try again. M I ' f I & & - B j j I We all rather expected the Kinney-Daugherty H I i I j marriage, but no one expected such a surprise, B i ( and the cbiof discussions of the wise ones during H1 ' j i the week has been the raison d'etre. H Jin Tne flrst reason was because Mr. and Mrs. H.1 ',' ih Daugherty were in love with "one another. The H ' II next reason was probably the fact that Mr. Daugh- H i j, i '? erty arriving In town, and finding Mary Theresa H j Ul had gone to the theater with another citizen B '! ' i & thought he had waited long enough. H W And then again, perhaps the most interested H i ! , j parties thought the matter nobody's business. B i ( Jt iJl (Jf B , j hit At all events, the home of Mr. and Mrs. William H I M. O'Brien was the scene of the culmination of a H ;j ji pretty little romance, and all of the friends of H j If 4 1 1 1" the principals wish them all happiness. Hj u hi I'f'j They left for San Francisco at noon, and will K ! 11 h j sail for Honolulu next week, to be gone about a H ( i j,ii I month before returning, when they will make their !l II iiii w homo in Portland.

Pi I : j j & Jijj i j i And now the light-haired young man who is H 1 Ml S first to flirt, first to grieve, and first in the love of Hlf ' W I a slrl or two lias sone aclc nIs flrst ov0 on K ' ' ," ! First street. H 'j j 3C t 3t 1 ' Something was said above about no presents, but the charming bride received any number, chief among which were from her father a check for five thou and a chest of silver. It seems that Kinney pere must be ready with a similar present soon again, for it is rumored by closest friends that the young man who went with Jimmie Daugherty to get the marriage license is about ready to buy one for himself. h,j! i ;, The only disappointing feature in the whole sHf! V I! business is the fact that both young women will H, 7 J 1 111 ve in other cities. Hi! fi 9 lis i Hf i li ' II e advce a Sood lawyer, In the Read di- Hlj, j 1 1! vorce suit, has saved no end of trouble, as well as H j J : enough newspaper talk to fill a book. The com- H I i 1 i ' ment on "desertion" can not be nearly so exten- Hijl j - sive as other charges might have caused, and the divorce will be granted like any other divorce without with-out contest, for Charlie Read is just as anxious to be free as LUa, (whom I see by the Telegram is a "popular society woman") is desirous of getting back her maiden name. && i f$ And speaking of divorces, something good is "Town Talk" in San Francisco, to-wit: "A recent divorce suit that threatened sensational sensa-tional developments was litigated amicably, the husband having been induced to withdraw his cross-complaint in which he had made some unpleasant un-pleasant charges against his wife. The latter had resided abroad several years, being intent on giv" ing her children a foreign education, and meanwhile mean-while her husband was having a very gay time at home. After the latter withdrew his cross-complaint, the wife asked, through her lawyers, for a retraction. She received it in the following words: '"Messrs. So-and-So, Attorneys-at-Law : " 'This is to certify that my wife has always been chased,' etc., etc. "The retraction would probably have caused an explosion if the attorneys had not persuaded the husband to change his orthography. i v tw The rival clubs of good fellows in San Francisco Fran-cisco the Bohemian and Family gave a couple of dinners last week. Our Charlie Stanton was the guest of honor at the Family, and the big artist, Amadee Joullin, he of the Indian pictures, at the Bohemian. The remarks at both dinners were not printed, probably for good reasons. w O (5 The Cunningham girls view their father's wedding wed-ding from a diffident point of view, and cannot imagine what the old gentleman can see in the Glass, which however is no reflection on the young lady. & 5 & The flrst of a delightful series of six luncheons with Mrs. Macdonald and her attractive daughter, Mrs. Hilda Macdonald Baxter, as hostess, was given at the University club yesterday, with Mrs. Victor Clement, a charming young widow of Salt Lake, as the guest of honor. The striking figure of the table decorations was an effective combination combina-tion of violets in masses with tulle streamers of a lighter shade, says the San Francisco Chronicle. I should think the really striking feature to Mrs. Burns Macdonald would be the statement that Mrs. , Baxter is her daughter. Jv v2s & Another Chronicle note runs as follows: ' "'Mrs. Victor Clement is meeting San Franciscans Francis-cans in the most delightful manner possible. As i the guest of honor of Mrs. Burns MacDonald and I ,jrg Hilda MacDonald Baxter again yesterday, she reetcd a new lot of the friends of her hostesses. AgaJn merriment ran high and the luncheon was I pronounced a great success. American beauties alone were used in decoration with handsome ef-I ef-I feet." I jirs. Sturgiss, Miss Salisbury and Miss Laura Sherman assisted by Lieut. Hite did good work for the kirk on Tuesday, in the Keith-O'Brient tea room, and many a martyr drank tea to help pay for the other wing, in the fear that they might need it some day. B V V t&V y And speaking of the girls' serving tea, Stella Salisbury had a funny experience on Tuesday. Bare-headed and wearing an apron, she went up to the main floor to round up anyone who did not hap- pen to know of the tea room. Suddenly an old lady grabbed her with '"Miss, Hi want four yards of that 98-cent " B "Oh, I'm busy now," replied Stella, and then Bthe old lady reported her with full description to Btho management, advising that the rude saleslady Bbo summarily dismissed. H ex tir B Paymaster Stanton vuo o us is just plain B Charlie, had rather an embarrassing experience at Bthe races the other day. He went over to the Btrack to while away a little time, and to impart a Blittle excltment to his visit, placed a small bet. And Town Talks tells this story, which his friends will relish: He received a ten-dollar piece in change from the book-maker, with whom he had made the bet, and a few minutes later, receiving a suggestion from a tout, decided to hazard the ten dollars on a sure winner. , Stepping up to another book-maker, he handed him the ten-dollar piece that he had received in the betting ring, and the man scrutinized the money suspiciously, and then summoned a Pinkerton detective who placed the paymaster under arrest for uttering counterfeit Bcoin. It was some minutes before Stanton sue-Hceeded sue-Hceeded in convincing the detective that he was an . army officer and not a counterfeiter, and a little later the book-maker discovered that he was mis- taken. The coin was not a counterfeit. He searched for Stanton to return the money, but the latter had left the track. H & & & B There were just eight of the right sort at the little supper given by the Harry Irwins at the Newhouse home on Sunday evening. It was their wedding anniversary, and plenty of fun for all. B w w JB The annual banquet to be given by the Com-Ufoerclal Com-Ufoerclal club next Monday evening promises to be the largest event of the winter. In honor of the recent arrangement of reciprocal relations with Hpe Weber club of Ogden, that organization will be dissociated with the Commercial club in the glv-Bng glv-Bng of the banquet, which will outdo all previous functions of the kind ever given in this city.

B Mrs. Harry Irwin will entertain informally on Bhrlatmas Day, and has invited a dozen friends ftu for the evening.
