supreme court at their suburban home
in Cahuenga valley, Friday night, by
giving in his honor "a country dinner" /"
The occasion was notable and success
ful social event and was most heartily
enjoyed by all who were fortunate
enough to participate.
The chief justice was in most de-
lightful mood and all present were
charmed by his wit anu wisdom. One
OF the unique features OF the occasion,
and Mrs. Mitchell is notable for intro
ducing novelties in her entertainments,
was the decoration of the dining room,
which was made entirely of green palm
leaves, red berries of the pepper tree and
autumn leaves. The walls were matched
with palm leaves with friezs of pepper
berries and the bow window arch decor
ated with many tinted autumn leaves
and lighted with candles was beautiful
and effective. Another notable feature
was that all the principal dishes OF the
menu were home products produced on
the hosts "Lomita ranch," making liter
ally "a country dinner"
OF those invited were the following
we'll known gentlemen: Chief Justice
Beatty, Ssnator Cole, Judge Clark, Judge
Mckinley, Hon. Abbot Kinney, Henry
Bleecker. eeq,, Mr.. John 8. Mailman,
Mr.. @. f. A. Last, Mr.. George Trean
Morcum, Mr. Jacob Muller. Oapt. N. c..
Selby.
Mrs. Mitchell was assisted bv Mics
Marie Peltier, who is at present visiting
her from Mexico.
The open meeting OF Los Angeles
circle, No. Is, @. of F., was grand sue
cess. An elaborate programme was
rendered, bountiful refreshments served
and dancing enjoyed. Each number on
the programme received we'll merited
encore, but the writer feels that Miss
Reese and Mr.. John Llewellyn are cer-
tainly artists in their line. Mr.. Llewl-
lyn has very fine bass, and his many
friends were pleased at his success. Miss
Reese ID recent arrival from San Fran
cisco, and has a remarkably clear
soprano and acquitted herself most cred
itably. Mabel Kellock, Racinta Olu-
chata, Master Hall Gleeson, Ethel
Levy, Mamie Andrews and little Vivian
Andrews deserve much praise. Miss
Shepard's recitation was exceptionally
fine. Miss Wilkinson's dance music
was immense, and last, out by 10 means
least, Prof. Campelans in'his piano spe-
cialties was heartily enjoyed and vocif-
erously cheered.
A most delightful musicale was given
on last Wednesday evening at the beau
tiiul residence OF Mr.. Widner on
