IN SOCIETY.

There was a great gathering of the
CLANS at Turnverein hail last evening.
The hall was taxed to its capacity, and
the Caledonia club may we'll feel proud
of last nights affair. which was grand
success in every particular. The scenes
of the highlands and lowlands of Scot
land were realistically illustrated bv
Professor Downie. 1t brought back to
the minds of the men of Drawn their
young days, when they frolicked on their
native heath. The views were superblv
presented and the lecture was very in
teresting. During the illustrations a
number of Scotch songs were excellently
rendered. After Mr.. Downie's lecture

Mrs. John A. Wells, president of the
industrial school, and one of the most
worthy and benevolent OF women, we'll
known in Los Angeles society, has gen.
erously fitted up one of her pleasant
and commodious cottages on South
Spring street, furnishing it completely
for cooking school. Here classes of
matrons, young ladies', misses and cooks
will be taught the art of plain and
fancy cooking by Miss Ida Maynard,
most competent teacher from Boston.
On Wednesday morning several So
cietv ladies were invited by Miss Wells
to inaugurate the cooking school. A
most delicious lunch was prepared under
the able and pleasant instructions of
Miss Maynard by the dainty fingers of
the fair women, to many OF whom the
mysteries of cooking were, until then,
but family known. The menu consisted
of cream of asparagus, halibut la pou-
lette, chicken croquettes, white sauce,
green peas, salad asparagus, custard
souffie, cream sauce, coffee. Each dish
as it was daintily served, was pro-
nounced decided success and truly de-
licious. 1t will undoubtedly soon be
quite the fad to hold pleasant lunches at
the cooking school rooms.

residence of Mrs. A. E. Pomeroy, on
Hill street, Wednesday afternoon, the

E. Beeson by the Treble Clef club. Mrs.
Beeson, who has been long known in
Los Angeles as one of the most popular

to express their regret at parting from

silver card receiver, beautifully in

Ellen Beach Yaw sang her famous Echo
song and The Nightingale, the club gave
two numbers, and Miss Kate Ryder
