Social gatherings are becoming more
and more informal, and fewer of them
As the bright summer days come up
pn us. There is as little desire shown
to be entertained as to dispense hospi-
tality. There have been a number of
quite small affairs, the most important
bf these being the dinner given by Mr.
and Mrs. John T. Jones, the little party
Eiven by Mr.. and Mrs. T. ]. Fleming,
and the box party at the Orpheum Fri
day evening, over which Mrs. NJ. L. Nc
Cormack presided. Alh three of the de-
lightful entertainments were in honor
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Poehler, who
have been visiting Los Angeles. Mrs.
McCormack's guests were Mr.. and Mrs.
j. L. Jones, Mr.. and Mrs. I. j. Flem-
Ing, Miss Mccormack and Chas. Dick.
After the performance a supper was en-
loyed.
The brilliant event of the week and,
b fact, the notable one of the midsum-
mer gatherings was the reception given
Friday afternoon by Mrs. Kingston and
Mrs. Hamilton at their home on South
Pearl street, in honor of their guest, Miss
Lewis Smith. Although large number
of society people are out of town, the
pretty, flower -bedecked rooms were
thronged with guests from to O'Clock
A gracious welcome was accorded them
by the two hostesses, Mrs. Vim. Valen-
tine and the guest of honor. In the recep-
tion room pink carnations were used
very effectively. In another room
bright with yellow marguerites, Mrs.
Modfni Wood and Mrs. B. A. Workman
presided very gracefully, and Mrs. La
Grand Belts dispensed the hospitali-
ties of the dining room, and was assist
ed by the Misses Mullins and Jean Dor
tey, Beatty and Atwater had the cater
Ing in charge.
The room was very dainty and pretty
In pink carnations. They were strewn
pver the table and made a pretty con-
trast to broad satin ribbons that fell
gracefully from the chandelier. The
hall was made most attractive by the
presence Of Mrs. Arthur Braly, who
served to the guests very delicious and
refreshing punch. One of the very
pleasing features Of the afternoon was
the attendance Of Krauss' orchestra, the
music being of much higher order
than is generally obtainable at similar
occasions. Those invited to enjoy the
Afternoon were:
