Oh! what a joy the tele- phone is in these degenerate days of quick luncheons, impromptu card par- ties and “run-up” dinners. And they're loads of fun! Just try a telephone in- vitation on a man to “run up” to din- ner and see with what alacrity he'll sccept. Men don’t like formality; that is,-the men «of the West. And where is she who would have the men of the West other than as they are, lest it be a little, just a wee little more care in the matter of dress. giltsl s The Sequoia Club was very merry— in spots—on Tuesday night. Somehow many people have a notion that the club is a sort of gilded trap for lions, and on entering find a seductive spot, sit them down tenderly and thought- fully and ask their neighbor, “Friend, ‘who and where are the lions to-night?"” There was much wit unloosed, wit good and bad. And what with the lot of pretty women thereabouts the even- ing was rather pleasant—not so “at- mospheric,” however, as some the club has known. But of course, too much cannot be expected of ice water func- tions. At the more formal club stunts President Alken provides some very ex- cellent punch. Say what you will, there’s some psychological connection between ice water and soctal chilliness. Among the guests were noted Mr. and Mrs. Fremont Older, Mrs. Linda V. Bryan, Miss Marie Wells, Mrs. Gus- tave Adolph Boyer, Miss Frances Jol- liffe, Miss Elsie Sperry, Mrs. Ella Sex- ton, Miss Anna Strunsky Consul and Mrs. Courtenay Bennett, Mr. Saunders of Mexico, Major and Mrs. C.

To-morrow Miss Amy Gunn and Miss Mabel Gunn will entertain at a large tea, informally, as charming Miss Ma- bel 1"aves for New York on Thursday. At the tea her friends will bid her fare- well, as the bonny maid goes on to wed Dr. Thayer of Porto Rico—lucky chap. It is believed tnat the young physician will bring his bride back to her native city. R Miss Reed Hutchins, daughter of the late Dr. Hutchins, is making admirable and praiseworthy progress in her mu- sical work in New Yo S close friend in the household he is a of Mrs. i) GILBERT G, ALLEN . AN MO KEITEY R vAaAvG (s TRUXTON Hattle Alexander (nee Crocker), Who is sincerely interested in the attain- ment of Miss Hutchins' ambition. Powers Hutchins of this city is visit- ing his sister at the present time. e And now that the hunting season is on, more than one disciple of Nimrod has disappeared for the territory of game. Heroes may be evolved from followers of this sport, their true marksmanship bringing the reward of a fat bag, the contents of which are often sweet morsels to tastes epicurean and otherwise. This is the medal of the huntsman, who glories in his prow- ess fully as loudly as does the military cracksman whose proud breast is cov- ered with metal rewards of merit. Of the former, Colonel Thomas Waln-Mor- gan Draper is an enthusiast and has been exercising his eye and hand in the hunting district of Oregon. P Athol McBean has been visiting in the southern metropolis. With 80 many — of our fair malds away ’'tis but right that some of the young gallants should BO, too, but as there is a dearth of beaux and Mr. McBean a favorite at that, his return means a very warm welcome extended. . The announcement of Miss Ella Dem- ing’s departure for New York came as a surprise to her many friends in San Francisco. George Crocker, her cousin, ‘wishes her to remain in his home in- definitely, and as Miss Deming’s sister, Mrs. Schwan, also lives in that city, it is more than likely that Miss Deming will remain permanently. Since the death of his wife and the marri:ge of his two stepdaughters, Mr. Crocker’s life is a very lonely one, especially without. the presence of young people about him. Miss Ella Deming has always been a favorite cousin and her residence in his house- hold will add much brightness to his existence. e e . Our_ army post- is increased by twa officers, whose arrival also enriches the life of town society. Lieutenant U. S. Grant and Lieutenant Douglas MacArthur came in on the transport Thomas last Tuesday and have re- ceived warmest welcome. Their stay here will signalize many affairs, in consequence of which society’s calen- dar will soon be overflowing. . . - The Sunday afternoon musicales, established by Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Pickering, are finding much charm and favor in the eyes of their friends, a few of whom are asked each Sunday and who thoroughly enjoy the artistic informality. The two daughters, Miss Rhoda and Miss Marie, are still un- initiated, that is, formally, but are often seen at small affairs. . . . The tournament of atheltics at the Presidio was a gala Qccasion for more than those who participated. The town folk—mostly our prettiest maids —mingled with the army girls and, al- together, what a good time they had! For every day, there was lunch served at the Officers’ Club, giving ample op- portunity for merry chatter—and there was no lack—while yesterday was a day of further festivity. There is really no excitement and pleasure like that furnished by the bluecoats; it may be a glamour, but the fact re- mains. Maids, you cannot be cen- sured for your devotion to the Stars and Stripes, in more ways than one. . . . Miss Ella Clark, of Los Angeles, is a niece of Senator Clark of Montana. She will be married next month to Henry Lee and the wedding will be a leading society event in Los Angeles. Attending Miss Clark will be Miss Ed- winna Hammond of San Francisco and Miss Adelaide Brown of Los An- geles, who, by the way, is an extremely pretty and winsome mald with soft brown hair and delicate coloring. Miss Clark, with her -mother, Mrs. Ross Clark, is in San Francisco for a short time. pr % Miss Florence Ives is devoted to outdoor sports, and is also clever in dealing with them. She, with her mother, spent part of the summer at San Jose, where Miss Ives was a vig- orous tennis player and excelled bowling. In the latter sport she car- ried the championship and now, durtng the meets at the Vendome, the accu- racy of Miss Ives is very much missed. &L . Not a merrter debutante malkes her bow to soclety this year than Miss Irene Sabin, whose coming-out “tea” of yesterday was a crush—synony- mous with success. But, then, the Sa- bins have a fashion of doing things charmingly, and the tea of yesterday was of a kind with their former affairs. & g9 Mrs. Truxtun Beale, fairer than ever, Is back from her wanderings—and ap- parently glad to be ‘“home”—but fraught is she with the happenings of the months that have past, when she was feted in splendid fashion while away. SR TR Among the bevy of brides at Van- couver Barracks is pretty Mrs. Gilbert Allen, she who was Ethel Kent. Van- couver Barracks has come to be a sort of nuptial dove-cote, no fewer than three brides gladdening the dull rou- tine of life thereabouts for thrse mighty interesting army chaps. One is set to wondering how the “soldiering” 1is gtting on—if ,what bluft old General Corbin said was true But the nation hasn’t suffered as yet from the multiplicity of army brides. But perhaps the belligerents— whoever they be—haven’t yet heard of the number of officers thus incapaci- tated for military service. O What a pretty domicile is that of General and Mrs. Rawles! Every con- dition about it is such that is desirable for a home—site, view and convenience. In this case the latter consideration is' particularly to be commended. From the fact that the Presidio has so long been home to them, it was not easy to leave the reservation, so full of pleasant memories attached to the days before Gemeral Rawles’ retirement. But, situated as they are now, on Green strect, the new home commands a view of their old ground, which is only a step, comparatively, and the friends in civil life are also within easy access of the Rawles’ household. They will keep first and third Fridays from now on, and with their daughter, Miss Rawles, expect to entertain through the winter .
