Mrs. Albert Gerberdlng and her lit-tle daughter, Beatrice, are receiving awarm welcome home, after a longstay abroad. Shortly after Mrs.Gerberdlng's death, Mrs. Gerberdlngtook her little girl to England, whereshe busied herself writing and be-came a recognized figure in the. exclu-sive literary set of the English capi-tal. They have returned, however, forah indefinite stay here, and are againin the old home In Pacific avenue. Iunderstand that Miss Beatrice, whomust be 10 or 11 years old, has Inher-ited the literary gifr* that both herfather and mother possessed. One ofMiss Coolbrlth's most exquisite poemswas dedicated to her when she was onlya few weeks old, and since then, shehas made the. acquaintance of manyliterary and artistic people, and. is agreat favorite with some of the world'spainters and writers.

Miss Winifred Mears will experiencean equally odd life for a woman whenshe goes down to visit her brother,Lieutenant Mears, next month on thePanama canal. She is to remain a yeardown there, and has very sensibly de-termined to write a" book about herimpressions and experiences. Very fewgirls have ever had a better oppor-tunity than this to get at the situationat Panama, and, as a woman's view-point is naturally a very different onefrom a man's, Miss Mears' book prom-ises to be diverting reading.

Nothing that cannot be canned ever reaches Davoa: itsonly residents are natives, who clingto the airy costumes made familiar tous by pictures of the tropics; its housesare thatched huts of mud and straw,and its leading product tarantulas andscorpions. However, Mr. Carrigan'sranch is bounded by a magnificentbeach, the climate is wonderful and thelife one of absolute idleness and ease,so that his enthusiasm for his ranchhas some excuse.

The French capital has beenher headquarters during most of herstay, but she has visited Spain andItaly and made^niany lesser trips todifferent places from time to time.When Miss Elena Robinson, the daugh-ter of Mra. James Robinson, was abroadlast year she made her home with MissPillsbury for a part of the time, andthey were fellow guests at some of thebig.country.' houses <• near -Paris. :,Theytook one four or five weeks' motor trip

The month ha's been especiallymarked by the return of old friends,nearly every day bringing some .longabsent society favorite back from Eu-rope and the orient. .Mrs. Jones andher daughter, Miss Grace LlewellynJones, after a year, or more In Europe,returned a week ago and Tiave reopenedtheir home here. Miss Jones Is a rec-ognized figure In the artistic* as wellas the social .world here and one of themost gifted amateurs, in a dramaticsense, that we have. She took thename part- In "Phedre," which "wasgiven in French at the Greek theaterseveral years ago. and won praise sohigh for the performance that' shemight have stepped Into the profes-sional world on the strength of it." MissJennie Crocker will return this week,crossing the continent In her own car,and full of the glories of her Londonexperience. The world holds no morebrilliant social experience than It wasthe lot of this little California girl toenjoy and. one is rather curious to seehow it affected her. To be able to saythat a thing reminded one of Bucking-ham palace or that one didn't think theprince of Wales as handsome as hispictures or that' the king was a de-lightful dinner guest, Is- rather start-ling to Callfornians, whose only expe-rience with kings and queens is at thebridge table or when they are. reading"Alice in Wonderland" to.the children.

Very much to the disappointment ofher friends here, who were naturallylooking forward to a big wedding. MissHelen de. Young has decided to be mar-ried very quietly abroad, and when SanFranciscans see her again she willhavebeen Mrs. George Cameron for severalmonths. The first plan was for a largehouse affair, a few weeks after MissConstance's marriage to Joseph TobinIn November, but Mr. Cameron ,/oundit possible to join, the De Youngs InEurope and the second plan was de-cided upon a few weeks ago. MissConstance'^ wedding, however, will bea large affair and will take place at St.Mary's. The De Youngs sailed fromNew York for Paris about a fortnightago and are deep in the fascinations ofwedding shopping. They -will spendalmost their entire visit abroad at theFrench capital, taking short countrytrips during the warm weather.

open for effect lv«*Jy simple white frocksand girlish effects in hair dressing, onewonders why the social bow is ln-Qvitably made in November, the mostungracious and uncertain month of theyear. An eastern society woman, whosesummer home is set in gardens, andlauns that slope down to a great river,formally introduced her twin daughter?last week at a lawn party. The affairproved so 'delightful and was so ex-quisitely pretty that there is no doubtthat early summer debuts Will comeinto vogue sooner or later. The entireScreen was a muss of nloom, the girlsin the receiving party wore the dain-tiest of lingerie frocks, the music camefrom beyond a screen of shrubbery andthe teas and ices were served anywhereand everywhere

—on the lawns, on the

wide porches, and even on the. river,where the launcb.es and rowboat3 ofthe arriving guests were tied. The af-fair must have been in refreshing con-trast to the usual crowded drawingroom, heavy air, babel of voices andcrush of smart frocks. Every ofco,naturally, cannot have a river and Im-mense gardens, but there are plenty ofhandsorre country homos here wheresiuch an affair cauld bo g'ven. And asMiss Debutante wants above all elseto ha*'e hei coming out pa. ty distinc-tive, she would ver: much enjoy thesurprise that a June or a September in-troduction would cause among herfriends.

Miss Florence Trent, who was mar-ried on Thursday to Spencer Carey ofAuburn, willhave a rather unusual ex-perience on her wedding tour. Mr.Carey, who owns one of the hand-somest ranches in this state, is anEnglishman, bis people being the own-ers of the little isle of Guernsey, nearSark, off the west coast of England,where the Careys form a colony oftheir own and have made their hompsfor hundreds of years. The brid«% whois the fourth daughter of Mr. andMrs. Lamartlne Trent, who own amine near Auburn. is the firstAmerican to marry into the Careyfamily and will be one of its ma-trons of the same name when shearrives In Guernsey. They will spenda part of their honeymoon there, latergoing to Italy, where young Mrs. Careyis to study sculpture, for which shehas .shown a decided talent. TheTrents lived In Salt Lake City whentheir 10 children were very small, go-ing to Australia some eight years agoto one of Mr. Trent'p mines there.Later they settled at the Van Trentmine near Lincoln, and at the time ofthe earthquake were spending the sea-son here, having leased the Brownhouse at the Presidio gate. The familyand that of Ur. McEnery have beenrriendly for years, and Miss Florenceand her mother stayed with the Mc-Enerys here a month ago for thenecessary shopping. Miss Isabelle Mc-Laughlin. Dr. McEnery's -ward, is aninseparable friend of the two youngestTrent girls and was a student withthem at Miss Head's a few years ago.Thursday's bride, who was marriedvery quietly at the Auburn home, was19 years old on her wedding day.

For a while it looked as if Miss En-gracia ditchers engagement to Lieu-tenant Frank Freyer was to be theonly definite and 'immediate result ofthe fleet's visit, matrimonially speak-ing. For though there were plenty ofrumors about nary romances, no an-nouacements were made and the de-parture of the ships effectually put astop to the talking and guessing. Butjust before the vessels sailed the en-gagement of Miss Lucile Meiggs, adaughter of Mrs. George Meiggs ami amember of the once prominent familyhere, to Lieutenant Commander L. C.Bcrtoiette. was announced, and al-though their marriage is not to lakeplace until February, the news liasbrought a stir of pleasure and excite-ment of the younger set. Miss Meiggsis a favorite here with all tiie sirlsand boys, and if popularity with hisfellow officers is significant of any-thing Mr. Bertolette is an exceptionallyfine fellow and she has made a wisechoice.
