Some Brilliant Eyents Are| Enjoyed Before the Agy | vent of Le'nt SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL | WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—The early 1 arrival of Lent this year rung down the curtain on one of the most brilliant so- | capital for many vears, and the final | spurt before Ats close was marked by | | several functions of notable interest given by the coterie of prominent wo—i men known as “California - hostesses.” The term has grown up from the fact that these women, led by Mrs. Metcalf, | wife of the Secretary-of the Navy, have | always reserved one day in each week for the entertainment of visitors from | | California, and those Californians wio | have made Washington their home dur- ing the sessions of Congress. Mrs. Metcalf, who as wife of the Sec- |retary of Commerce and Labor was noted for her brilliant gatherings, has, | presidential receiving line, more and more popular as a, dinner | hostess, till one of her invitations is prized perhaps as much as any Wwo- man’s in public life. President and Mrs. Roosevelt, was for days the boast of her fortunate guests, and the envy of the unfortunates for whom her table had not room. The distinguished gathering included Justice Moody, Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Trueman H. New- berry. Representative F. H. Gillett: of Massachusetts, Mre.. Hanna, Miss Boardman, Mr. and Mrs. James R. Gar- field, Mr. and Mrs. Jennings and Mr. and Mrs. Guy Norman. The occasion was to celebrate the rsdistribution of the Cabinet portfolios. On Saturday, February 9, Mrs. Met- calf, Assistant Secrctary of the Navy and Mrs. Newberry and Mrs. Taft, wife of the Secretary of War, sailed on the | Mayflower lor a three weeks' cruise | among the southern navy stations, ex- | pecting to make a short visit to Ha- | vana, Cuba. The Mayflower will be gone three weeks. Miss Pan Perkins, daughter of Sen- ator Perkins, a prime favorite among the Californians, and considered one of the most charming of the younger hostesses in the capital, welcomed the relaxation of Lent, after the many teas and luncheons graced by that charm- ing young lady recently. Her luncheon to Miss Erma Shaw, dadghter of the retiring Secretary of the Treasury, was hailed as one of the mgst notable de- butante luncheons of the year. It was given at Rauscher's, with covers laid for twenty-four of the season’s “buds.” In order to make everything as new and fresh as possible for the social neophytes, Miss Perkins stipulated that all her decorations:should be of rose- | buds, and the ensulng 'profusion of half-opened pink roses excited a perfect chorus of “ohs” and “ahs” from the | delighted guests. | CALIFORNIA GIRLS FETED The cluster of fragile pink blossoms which garnished each plate at the luncheon given by Miss Perkins were caught in loops of wide pink ribbon which radiated from the centerpiece of pink roses and ferns. Miss Shaw was felicitated on her gallant start as a | social success, and good luck for the “beginners” was the order of the day. The guests were Miss Erma Shaw and Miss Shaw; Miss Whitney of Oak- land, Cal.; Miss Grunsky, Mrs. Tim- mons, Miss Dietrich, Miss Grace | Allen, the Misses James, Miss. Ander- son, Miss Fleming, Miss Bevan, the | Misses Seymour, Miss Needham, Miss | Annie Rose Walker, Miss Calderon; Miss Newlands, daughter of Senator Newlands of Nevada; Miss Halford, Miss Archibald and Miss Millard, daughter of Senator Millard of Ne- braska. Miss Perkins received at the Wednes- | day “at homes” of Mrs. Flint, wife of Senator Flint, during the entire sea- son, and at the last one Mrs. Flint and Miss Perkins were further aided by Mrs. Danskin. Mrs. Flint has established, with her attractive, informal dinners, the repu- tation much sought after in this city of numerous dinners, of being able to | assemble just the right kind of people. The avengge victim of Washington's dinners, tedious and formal, the atmos- phere terSe and electrical, lest a “diplomatic blunder” be made, has wel- comed the hospitality of Senator and Mrs. Flint as a veritable deliverance. One of the popular visitors in Washington who has been the recipi- ent of many social honors is Miss Ethel Moore of Oakland, California, a guest of Mrs. Frank B. Vrooman, daughter of General John C. Black, of Eighteenth street. Mrs. Vrooman gave a valentine luncheon for iss Moore on the 14th and the California social delegation was represented fully. Miss Perkins and Miss Grunsky both contributed to the general gayety. The spirit of the day was carried out in the decorations and favors. £ Mr. and Mrs. George Whittell of San Francisco have been generously feted during their visit here. They were the guests of honor at a dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. George T. Marye and among the guests were the Misses Shonts, Miss Anna Walker, Miss Ide, Miss Errol Cuthbert Brown, Miss Eleanor Terry, Mrs. Hancock, Miss Doyle, Colonel John Biddle, J. O. Sie- bert, Frederick May, Mr. Benavides, Dr. John Cabell and Dr. Taylor Dixon. Mrs. C. E. Grunsky, one of the most beloved of the Washington hostesses, gave a dinner in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Whittell, to which were invited Sena- tor and Miss Perkins and Mr. and Mrs. Hatch of California. ENTERTAINS CALIFORNIANS Mrs. Grunsky has been entertaining the Misses Henrietta and Lillian Stadt- muller of San Francisco, guests of Miss Grunsky, and who Ieft recently for New York. While her visitors were here Mrs. Grunsky entertained at many in- formal dinners, for which she has be- come’ noted in the capital circles. Her Thursdays “at home” have always at- tracted a bevy of Californians and ‘Western people. Mrs. George T.Marye, whose weekly dinners, at which her native land of California is always generously repre- sented, have become a feature of the soclal life here, had as her guest of honor recently Mrs. Austin Tubbs.

W. Sanderson, who is now in A¥i- zona, an extension of sixty days on his original sixty days' leave of ab- sence, which expired on February 12, last, and which expiration made the last named subject to removal from office under the charter. Gallagher admitted that there was no provision of the charter which gave him the power to extend the leave of absence from the State of a city offi- cial In excess of the legal sixty days’ limit. Gallagher further said that the charter provision subjecting to re- moval a city official who overstayed his absence, as Sanderson had done, was not mandatory upon the Mayor to en- compass such removal. Section 8 of article 16 of the charter under the caption of “Miscellaneous” reads as follows: “No officer of the city and county, except men.jers of the Police Depart- ment, acting under orders of the Chief thereof, shall absent himself from the State; but he may, once only during his Colossal Impudence This paper recently published the following formula for the immediate relief of coughs colds, given out by a prominent Philadelphia throat ‘and lung specialist: “Hlx half ounce Con- centrated oil of pime, two ounces of glyeerh four hours.” Th the recipe that was lunmll. muwo derfully effective im the pine forest camps for com- sumptives amd the Concentrated oil of pime h a preparation put up by a well-knowf pharmaceu- tical house unmder the process which -oduces the only truly » soluble pime preparation.

It comes only in one way and that is half-ounce bottles, each enclosed in a round screw top box which protects the ofl from changes of the atmon- phere and in this way makes it are always the signal for Californians to congregate from far and near. Mrs. Marye recently utilized her afternoon “at home” as a debutante tea, with Miss Leila Safford of Massachusetts as the guest of honor. Mrs. Marye's warmth of manner and ready tact made her tea one of the most enjoyable of the debu- tante “affairs” this season. She also gave a ‘“violet luncheon” to Mrs. Cap- tain Biddle, wife of the military at- tache to Berlin, who has only recently returned to this country. The daintily decorated table, with its luxuriance of violets, was laid for twelve, and at each plate a fragrant bouquet of violets art- fully concealed the name ca.rdl‘ lm'olllble for the ozome im oil and it pre- erved indefinitely.
