The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1890-05-05

The past week has been remarkable for the
number and variety Of the entertainments which
marked the social life Of the city. Although
there were but few affairs which have to be COM
meDted on at any great length, yet, as the read
ers Of 1HE CALL can see by references 10 It's
columns, no complaint can be made on the
ground of dullness. The beautiful weather
which we have been favored with called out OF
secuslOn many Of the butterflies Of fashion.
There were luncheon parties and receptions and
afternoon teas, which brought together many
society people. The marriages, as BELTS the
FIRST week in May, were numerous, while engage
ments still continue TO be steadily announced.

whole, a very satisfactory one, and before sum-
mer fairly sets In there Is ample promise OF a
continuance In interest until the usual fitting OF
