The anticipated party of the Misses
Fleming and Shankland that has kept
social circles in Alhambra in futter
many days was realized Friday evening.
Athletic hall where the party was given
was decorated in keeping with the beau
tiful dresses for it was fancy dress af-
fair, and when the music struck up the
grand march and the spacious room was
filled with handsome young ladies gailv
dressed with their manly beaux vying
with them in theil many colored cos
tunes made a picture of loneliness that
has seldom If ever been excelled in this
section.
Everybody was there; the invitations
included wide range and were not
exclusive. In fact the Alhambra circle
can all meet on one floor; they are all
acquainted and the sociability is re-
marked by casual visitors. There we're
personal friends of the fair young hos
tesses from Los Angeles and the sur
rounding country who frequent the only
suburb.
Thirty couples were present. The
participants in the dance were richly
dressed in costume, representing the
discovery OF our country down to the
present day of footbali-not a premed-
itated feature, but happy "happen-
stance"
Miss Elizabeth Shankland, daughter
OF Lawyer Shankland, represented Queen
Elizabeth.
Miss Clara Fleming, the daug hter OF
Major Fleming, represented Undine.
1t would encroach upon your valuable
space to describe the costumes OF all.
The young ladies may well be proud OF
the grand reception given them, and
their guests will ever remember their
charming hostesses.
The usual dances and exquisite re-
freshments caused the wee sms' hours
to come all too soon, Diminishing the
prettiest party the valley has ever had.
