Mies Lucy King, (Mrs. Requa's niece, is to be one of next year's debutantes, aiwi Mrs. Requa will, I predict, do many nice things for her. Miss King has Just been graduated from Ogontz.

She is well remembered in Oakland fas one of the bridesmaids at the Long, wedding. She is being chaperoned by her aunt, iMrs. Shaw, sister of Mrs. Requa and 'Mrs. King.

Mr. land J. Walter Scott, with their daughter Adele, are camping near Guer-neville, In a place endeared to them by the delights of several summers. There is quite a large party, including the Rohr-ers of Santa Rosa, and sonse other Oakland people. Mr.

Valentine Hush has returned from a business trip to the East and has Joined his family tn their camp on the Russian river. The various members of the Hume family have been having a pleasant sum- xrA UmA its cHli in SilH wvil rnniTl- mci. ju nuiuc pmi ry. Miss Lizzie Hume has just returned from Cazadero, and Wili Hume, Who is in the Hawaiian. Islands, -will shortly return home by' way of Seattle and Taeo-ma.

The town, has been excited, in lien of anything more hair-raising, by the broil-ings and seethmgs of the Oakland Club. A chafing dish with a bubbling rare-bit isn't in it by comparison. It seems a pity that this fine big eub should come to grief, just when it was accomplishing so much good work, too. I fancy the EbeUians laugh in their undersleeves, for the two clubs were the greatest friends, of course and bated each other cordially as they say fn 'The Xiars. is it, I wonder, tjiai the fusses in women's organizations always come to the top like the scum on jelly while the rows of men are carefully smoothed over and no one is ever a whit wiser? Or perhaps it Is because- men quarrel so much we think nothing at all about It.

I have not the slightest idea which side is right, and which is wrong, in the Oakland Club fiasco, though dear Mrs, Bunnell, with her sweet ways, always seems to be In the" ithick of it. She was one of the lightning rods in Ebell, if you remember, and now she is performing the same difficult function in the Oakland Club. Mrs. Watt entertained a few Intimate 'friends at luncheon Wednesday, and to them unfolded a few of her woes. At any rate, I hope that the club will weather the storm amd come out all the stronger for the late unpleasantness and that Mrs.

Watt will still be found at the helmi. for I cannot think but that it is unfair to take away frcm her the benefactions that she, herself, planned and give the credit of them to someone else. Mrs. Watt is a woman of much foresight and the most kindly Impulses. And, meanwhile, it might be as well to remember that we women should not air our grievances against each other In pvblic, ifor the common enemy, man, merely laughs at them, refers to them whenever we try to do anything, and by this meets we weaken our case terribly.

Let lis smother our private grudges, and In public, at least, bear a smiling ace and make believe with all our might that we are perfect angels of sweetness and light. Though, of course, woman, born of man, cannot be an angel. On Tuesday Mr. Irwin, the postal Inspector, who resides in Berkeley, and his daughter, Miss Irwin, sailed for Manila, where Mr. Irwin is to get things in shape for the Government.

Not long ago he performed a similar service In Cuba, and evidently ho is a. most import ant man in Postoffice affair. The Ir- wins formerly resided In East Oakland, but have, for some years, lived In Berkeley. A large party olf Berkeley rieiids came over to see Miles Irwin off, and when "the Sumner sailed, she was literally buried to carnations. She is quite a young girl, tut I foresee a romance from this trip? See if she does not make a good army marriage.

Professor and (Mrs. Howison will arrive in Berkeley this week after more than a year's absence abroad. Every bed who went to Berkeley or bad a stuaent friend has heard of Socrates Howison, the Skye terrier belonging to the Professor and his wife. In that childless home Socra-tes had all the love that would have been given to children more, perhaps. He was as Intelligent as only a dog raised in the house and permitted to partici- 1 pate in all the family secrets, could be.

to acieact tne meeting. rf- COOKING SCHOOL, CLOSES. The vacation cooking school at Third and Peralta streets held its closing exercises yesterday. The little girls rave a practical demonstration of what had boen caught them. Miws Henderson has been conducting this department of the work.

For the last few monthk he has been brighter, and Jthere were many hopes that he would live to see his loved ones again, for the Howisons had sailed from Europe, and every day was serving to unite this loving family. But it was not to be. The day that the Howisons landed In New York Socrates' delicate thread of life snapped. In the night he "was taken In convulsions the veterinary, who came riding" through the dark, could not save him, and In the he was mercifully chloroformed and word eent to the Howisons. You may smile, if you like, but it a sad homecoming; and some of us who love it press a cheek against a warm head, be it smooth or shaggy, know how the Howl-sons feel and sympathize with them from the Tery bottom of our hearts.

It is nlte pathetic not a single invitation to eve, a luncheon or a dinner and, save for a few weddtntr tnnouncements and the hasty scrawls the girls are good enough to send me from the Bummer resorts, even the post man. would not call. And I fancy from these same summer resort letters that the girls are not having as lovely a.

time! as they expected. Most of the men are lousy this summer and, save at the very near-b'y places, there 13 the usual scarcity, with' the result that th few men who are available are quite spoiled by the attention they receive and of which they are all unworthy. The nicest men seem to be camping- or shooting or fishing at inaccessible lakes where there are: no hotels and, although many or tne gin a wouiu irrru lrknk thpV CVen at tne CAuec vfc liave not been mvueo. uu are certain places where girls are not wanted, much as I hate to acknowledge It. Thtn, too, some of the most resortable men, to coin a word, have been gobbled up for house-parties and, altogether, the summer hotel verandah presents an unbroken expanse of girls inpecklesa duck and billowy organdd.

The talk this week, of course, has been over the good luck of Mrs. Gertrude TVit-cber being engaged to such a pleasant young feMow as Ritchie Dunn. Everyone, I think, except a few of the girls who are are hoping that her second matrimonial experiment may prove very happy one and quite make up lor a disappointment of the -first trial. Witcher is exceedingly handsome the Mrs, and possesses a manner tone will make as handsome a bride" as she baa a young matron. I hear thatthe trousseau is to be quite elaborate with many touches of Parisian elegance and that the marriage will likely take place in New York where there are no tire-sire laws and no year limits.

But, later, the Dunns will live in San Francisco and wtr shall all be privileged to see the pre-ty clothes and to say honeyed We have already felicitated tlie sweet mother of the bride-to-be who is such a dear, womanly She seems very happy In her daughter's happiness.

He arrived Wednesday and sailed Thursday, making bis how-to-dos and adieux by telephone. Everywhere the liveliest interest, is being tak -n in China and her affairs. But little else is talked of and even our frivolous society girls are reading up on the question of the day. Personally, I take the mopt languid interest in missionaries as it haslwys seemed to me an affront to try to effect a conversion from a religion; which, for all we know, is as good as ours and which has the advantage lh age. Besides, the mtesion-asy Kke the prize fighter he goes into It with his yes open and- hence deserves no particular sympathy.

I am opposed to proselyting In any way, but I ardently believe in that 'Scriptural passage which begins "Let your light so shine." If anyone seeing my good works wishes to Imitate me, well and good Imitation ts the slncerest flattery but as to asking him to emulate me, not for the world. But In regard to the ministers, in this little essay on missionaries versus ministers-political ministers I mean that Is quite another matter. I shall be exceedingly sorry If It turns out that our representative baa been slain. But even then I cannot see that are justified in making reprisals. In all these years of "civilization" Burely we have passed the stage where two wrongs are understood to wake a right A good many: of us who had the pleasure of knowing Miss Ida Lovatt during the years of her residence In Oakland, are concerned for her safety though the consulate where her father presides, is in the part of China, as yet aiTected by revolt.

The renewed activity among the trans ports will again overwork that popular official. Colonel Long.
