Notes-Personal Where
abouts.

True, there have been a number of din
ners, luncheons and theater parties, which
brought many people to their town houses
for day or two, but even these did not
tarry long, and they have again returned
to Menlo Park, San Mateo, Sausalito and
San Rafael.
Trilby theater parties have been the rage
the past three days. Time was when first
nights at the Baldwin were to the then
comparatively small circle Of San Fran
cisco society one of the events OF the sea-
son, and especially was this so as regards
the first nights in the autumn, before the
teas and receptions for the introduction of
the debutantes began. There was then
gathering of the clans such as was seldom
seen at other times, and the Hagers, Hag-
gins, Tevises, Gwins, Goads, Taylors, Will
sons, Dimonds, Crockers and many other
| welI-known families all sent their repre-
sentatives to welcome the old favorites or
newcomers. Now eve have changed all
that" OF course the usual crowd of men
about town and dramatic notables were
present. but, with the exception of one
large theater party and about hundred
society people, there were few representa-
tives of the distinctive society set in the
crowded house.
A very pretty dinner and theater party
was given on Tuesday in honor of Miss Nc
Cutohen and E. q. Schmiedell. The din
| ner took place in the owlroom of the Bohe-
milan Club, and was one OF the prettiest
and most perfectly served of the early sea-
son. The electric fountain was in the
| center of the large round table, surrounded
| by a bank of violets, maidenhair, ferns
and chrysanthemums. At each plate there
was beautiful hand-painted name card,
and stationed in the hall was Hubers
string orchestra, which played during the
service of the dinner, after which the party
was driven to the Baldwin, where they en-
| joyed the performance of "Trilby." The
party was composed of Mr.. and Mrs Perry
