'Mme. Schumann-

Ada Patterson continues the delight-ful chats with players, her subject thismonth being Annie Irish, and AubreyLanston contributes :a charminglywritten article. on Mrs. SIddons. Mont-rose J. Moses continues his^ papers on"Famous Families of American Play-ers./' . This .month's Installment isdevoted to the Sotherns. An arti-cle entitled "Curiosities of DramaticCriticism" is , likely to arousesome comment for some of
"
theblunt truths it tells, and there 13 an in-teresting account of the gift of a the-ater by a philanthropist to a town InMinnesota. The pictures, as usual, arevery elaborate. The story of DavidWarfleld's .great success. "The MusicMaster." is told completely in pictureform, and so Is George Ade's comedy,"The College Widow."

There seems to be' small need of anexcuse for fetes these merry, busydays, but every event is made a ralsond'etre. The "comers home" are winedand dined, the out-going ones are"tea-ed," the stay-at-homes are givenreceptions— for what? Stability, per-haps.

The return of Miss Maude Youngerafter so long an absence from home*lsa cause for much warm welcome ¦ andwill be further celebrated by many af-fairs In her honor. Though several ofthis city's fair daughters are.well trav-eled and conversant with Europeanmanners and ideas, there are few. whodesert for so long a period as has Miss-Younger. She has positively prolongedher foreign stay into years, so that SanFrancisco Is little more than nominallyhome to her.

Army affairs are , rapidly Increasing
All-Hallows' Eve, even In this prac-tical age,.lays claim to.numerous fol-lowers who willingly,even if timidly,peer into the unknown. The grownfolk,take .stranse delight, too. In dis-secting, the charm. With this object Inview, three hostesses gathered aboutthem thirty or more, uninitiated on Hal-loween. The home was -Mrs. Brom-well's and aiding her were Mrs. JosephKelly and Mrs.. George Borneman. 'Tissaid these "children of a larger growth"were ;as •happy and well-pleased withthe entertainment as a younger 'gen-eration- might have been.
The departure of Mrs. Warren Olneywith her daughter, Miss Ethel Olney,while a matter of congratulation, forthem is still a cause for regret amongtheir many •friends. But -
the spirit of"speed the parting guest" is upper-most, and amid the farewells therehave, been recently many affairs ofpleasure given to the two travelers.Mrs. and Miss Olney -will tour Europe,'stopping in many Eastern cities enroute. Mrs. Warren Olney Jr. recently,invited several of the closer familyfriends to bid adleux. Among thosewho received with her were Mrs. Ed-ward von. Adelung, Mrs. Walter Hart.Mrs. Louis Bartlett. Mrs. J..K. Mc-Lean, Mrs. Bayata, Miss Wellman andMiss Mary Williams.
Though 'tis paradoxical . that budsshould blossom in winter time, thetruth of this matter still asserts Itself,and every day proclaims a new flower.Miss

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Josselynheld tea and received the congratula-tions of their many friends for thiswinsome daughter's introduction.

Miss Maud Smith and her mother,Mrs. George Law Smith, have returnedhome full of reminiscences of charm-ing hospitality in the East. In all thelarger cities the ladies were delightfullyentertained, but with all the allure-ments of travel they were "glad to getback"— the San Franciscan's refrain.
Friday night was the gladdest, mer-riest night of'all, for* 'twas genialNed Green way's birthday. As on allother natal days within the memory ofhis friends, Mr. Greenway gave a din-ner.
Then came the first big dance of theyear, the Friday Night Assembly. And¦what a lot of little fluttering debu-tante hearts were abroad that gladnight at this their first ball, and bless-ings on them for their happiness.

Blessed is the burg that has near itan army post

style from it in the way of clever menand buttons and braid.

The little diflVulties of speech,such as were encountered when theLena's officers became temporary resi-
