GOSSIP OF THE GAY SET. "The Meddler" Holds Mirror Up to Nature. the My Dear Tribune: It has been a dismal week for news, but I'll do the best I can and try to rescue for your entertainment a few bits of the news that has been going. Goodness knows, it's little enough, but you'll be patient for a little, won't you? As soon as Lent is over and some of the people who can afford it, have returned from their Journeys across land and across sea, there will be a series of big afternoon teas and some, evening receptions as well. There will be time enough to wear all the swell new gowns then, and you can't have too many.

I have been seeing a lot of clothes this week and am going to follow the lead of the other girls. There's a great fad for dimities for evening wear. They have short puffed sleeves and low, round necks and graceful berthas, with softest lace edging. The girls are hav ing them made by ithe dozens. They i are inexpensive, even with silk slips, and they are much more expressive of I individuality than the rather cloudy white dotten muslins I saw a lot of pretty, tasteful gowns at Louie Bromwell's wedding the other night.

There has bee.ii so much said about the pretty home bridal that i hardly know what to tell you. The house was a dream in pink and white and a chime with bridal bells. Everywhere that a marriage bell could be hung one was to be found. Even the souvenirs were hearts and bells the former in pink, the latter in silver. The bride had a very pretty gown, something quite out of the ordinary, the pearl-dotted tulle making it unusual The diamond crescent the groom gave her was very brilliant and against the pink and white background of bridesmaids and roses, the bride looked charming.

The bridesmaids all looked pretty. Did you see the handsome ring the groom presented to Bob Fiz-gerald? It was a bachelor's ring and handsomely set. It seems that once, when the two old friends were beardless youths, they exchanged a promise Uiat the first one married should give the other a ring. Shelby is absolved from the promise now, and Bob is a verjl pretty ring to the good. An interesting feature of the event was the fact ithat Mr.

and Mrs. J. West Martin made a beautiful and appropriate gift to their new daughter-in-law, Louise Bromwell-Martin, of title deeds to a charming house and lot on Telegraph avenue and Thirty-Sixth street. The lot is 61 feet front by 144 in depth, with a modern, two-story house, all of the probable value of $6,000. There were two other weddings on Wednesday evening.

One was in Berkeley, when Leontine Rickard, the ctoxir r.f tho dnri.r a-hnoe hftss voice we all admire so mucn, was marnea ..11 V. win marriiul I to Will Fisher. On account of recent deaths In both families, the marriage was very quiet, and strictly limited as to friiets Tne othor wedding was a pretty honle affair in East Oakland.

The house was exquisitely decorated In xink and white fruit blossoms, and the bride and groom stood under aj bower to be married and afterward, In rect-iv lug congratulations, ine weu ding gown was of ivory white satin, with puffed leeves, decollete bodice and a long train, into wtitcn me tune veil fell. She carried white lilies, tied with broad satin ribbon. In the mat- tr of attendants, the usual custom was departed from, as both the bridesmaid and best man were married. Mrs.

Grace Roberts, nee Grace Mason, at tended the bride and her husband was the groom's support. SuDDer was served on tete-a-tete ta bles and during the feast as during the ceremony there was music. Mr. and Mrs. Chittenden left for San Fran- Cisco and will go to Santa Cruz in a week.

On their arrival a reception will be jriven them by Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Haslam.
