C. "Fussy Jinimle" is only one example of this strenuous family, the crest of which is the Australian Aus-tralian ballot rampant on the double cross. & & , Then the name of Blair woe overlooked. Crestfallen Crest-fallen and sad of heart was George the day after the announcement of the chosen ones was made. George thought at least that if 'the paper could not include him as one who could call upon kings, it might at least have been kind enough to let him call upon the effeminate face cards. && V 5 ( Christy, the prize fighter, and "Dad" Clark, the captain of Our pennant winners, cduld not conceal their disgust when interviewed on the subject of their names being omitted from the local list, and "Dad" in particular attributed it to personal Spite on account of an error -he made one day when the scribe was present at the field. iv 0 v The most noticeable and flagrant oversight in the whole article was the omission of the name of "Bride" Gerry, who has "worked" Ion-- and faithfully faithful-ly to hold up tho distinguished name. And it must bo admitted that it is a little hard to be turned down by a space writer on a country sheet when Mr. Carow-Pole himself insists that there's lots in a name. tS & & Henry Harrison' is anotlfer who is in terrible rebellion and threatens to hava the paper which refused to name him as One of tho cbmmittee of the new party to call upon the kings road out of tho party. V (w v C. M. Jackson, who was to have been county clerk, is another young man who is entitled en-titled to receive some attention from a king, but again in his case, the matter was laid on the tabic indefinitely by the press oensor who focused upon five names for the magic list. 5 ( ff Eugene Palmer is a cousin of a cousin of a particular par-ticular friend of the Palmer referred to," and he is another who was disappointed at the slighting slight-ing received at the hands of a brother in the fraternity. fra-ternity. v iv 5 But all in all, the paper made an awful break when it left out the names of some who should have been in the list, and we trust that In the exclusive ex-clusive list of lights which precede this, the individuals indi-viduals will bo satisfied and society will be once more avenged. It is being whispered by the most intimate friends that when he left for St. Louis, he really went to the Golden Gate, and that when she left for the city surrounding ZInkand's, which is Known as San Francisco, that she went to meet him, and that it has always been her desire to be married In California, and well, it is merely whispered, whis-pered, you know. & & Jt A story containing much of the quality described de-scribed as humor, in which a couple of officers were the principal characters, is going the rounds. You see the older officer, who lives somewhere in the vicinity of Third East, had orderd that his horse be sent to his residence at a certain early hour the other morning. In the raeantlmo the younger officer had ordered a horse and runabout to be ready at the same hour. Tho same stable was the scene of both events. Tho younger officer had planned a beautiful drive, and not desiring to cause any unnecessary disturbance, h started to walk toward the stable. At the corner he met a young whip piloting pilot-ing the horse the older officer had ordered and hailing him, asked If he was driving an officer's horse. The small boy replied 'in the affirmative. "I am it," announced the young officer, who did not recognize the family horse, which has seen some years of honorable service. So this young officer and a very beautiful young woman took a long, long drive, unmindful of the havoc they were causing and blissfully unconcerned. I' In the meantime the older officer was telephoning tele-phoning frantically for his horse, and the proprietor pro-prietor was insisting that he (the officer) had his horse, and when they began to explain the stable boy was asked for a full description of the supposed sup-posed thief, and every sleuth on the force was instructed in-structed to watch every avenue of escape, but tho first that was seen of the gee was when the younger officer drove back in the evening and inquired in-quired what the excitement was. The moral is only this, that when a man is so fascinated that he can't recognize tho family horse, the age of romance is not dead. 8 & The announcement of the engagement of Miss May Bishop, daughter of Dr. T. H. Bishop of New Haven, to J. Walcott Thompson of this city was the cause of many congratulations for the young .attorney during the week. The wedding will take place In New Haven on Wednesday, November 16th, and Mr. Thompson will return with his bride before the holidays. In this announcement, the predictions of the town tabblies go glimmering again, and again it is proven that a man and a maid can be good friends, even if both of them are engaged to others. oth-ers. i5 w I see that the discoverer of royalty raised the limit on Wednesday in the story of a new discovery, dis-covery, and stated in the headline that some one else "could call on kings and queens." But after a formal call, if the Intruder left three cards, all bearing in a way the same significant hieroglyphics, hiero-glyphics, it would look very sad and cloudy in the west for royalty. & & & Ned Groenway, full of the bloom of youth, and happy and jovial as ever, was a guest at the Knutsford during the week. Greenway has started his fifty-second social season auspiciously, and holds as tight a rein as ever over the gay society of San Francisco. & & Jt The marriage of Mrs. Henrietta McLaughlin and Dr. William A. McEnery, which took place in Washington on Wednesday, was one of the very interesting events of the week. Dr. and Mrs. McEnery Mc-Enery are now on their way to this city, which will be their future home, and where the best wishes of the many friends of the bride are awaiting await-ing the happy couple. The return of Mr. Newhouse during th week, after several months abroad, was hailed with delight de-light by his many friends. Mrs. Newhouse sailed on Thursday for Amorica, and will be here in about three weeks to spend some time in this city. The tournament for tho Newhouse trophy, mentioned, men-tioned, elsewhere, will begin today, and Mr. New-house, New-house, who Is a most enthusiastic supporter of the game, will be present at all of the events. & & & The wedding of Edith Pauline Crane, daughter daugh-ter of Mr. and Mrs. Oharles Crane, and George Elmer Walker was one of the most interesting events of the week. The Rev. Elmer I. Goshen performed the ceremony cere-mony which took place at tho home of the bride's parents, Miss May Crane was bridesmaid, Mr. Walter Saunders best man, and the ring bearer little Miss Agnes Caftejr, A large reception-followed the ceremony, the housq being beautifully decorated for the occasion, and the grounds Illumined so that the many guests could enjoy themselves in or out of doors. fffr & 0 Harry WindBor and his bride will be here in a few days to receive the congratulations of their many friends. Both he and the charming woman he married are extremely popular, and there will doubtless be many entertainments planned for them upon their return home. w w Mrs. E. C. Parsons' theater party for Miss Klrkpatrlck on Monday night was very satisfactory. satisfac-tory. Good idea, that, to use parquette seats for a theater party in place of those miserable stalls where the man behind the pompon is up against it for fair, if he has a desire to see the performance. perform-ance. t t t Mrs. Sam Adams has returned to the city for a visit of several weeks. With Mrs. Luelwitz she entertained a number of old friends at the McMillan Mc-Millan home on Thursday, at a beautiful luncheon. jt jt Mrs. George Y. Wallace is hostess at the Country Coun-try Club today. |
