SOCIETY


>>>>>>>>>~ ~>>>>>>>1
 Among the most brillian social func- tions of the season which will be re- membered for some time to come, was the afternoon tea of Mrs. N. O. Mur- phy and Mrs George M. Walker. held in the dra wing rooms of the Hotel Adams last Thursday afternoon. stream of visitors from until o'clock were received in hospitable manner In fact. there was little, II any, stiffness on the occasion. IT the affair was meant to be cold and re- served, and it would be almost cruel to hint at anything of the kind. when Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Walker, for whom entertainment is a pleasure and not a duty, the efforts failed, for there was just the right number and not too many men to create lively time and convert an afternoon tea. which is too frequently anunentertaining affair, into a really enjoyable period of time.
 There was plenty of good cheer in the form of punch of superior quality and involving the efforts of experienced mixologists. and the beautiful tea table was presided over by comedy maidens.
 No expense was spared in the floral decorations. the evergreens and flowers obtainable here being but back ground for the most beautiful flowers that could be obtained in the gardens of southern California. The arrange ment was artistic and the effect was most pleasing. Potted plants in pro fusion added to the bower-likc appear ance of the parlors and but a slight fancy was necessary for the beholder to imagine himself in the midst of natural garden.
 The ladies were assisted in receiving by Mrs Webster Street, Mrs. w. J. Kingsbury, Mrs. George w. Vickers. Mrs. J. C. Adams and Mrs. B. Heyman.
 The tea table was presided over by Misses R. Heyman, Rosabel Goldman, Sarah Jacobs, Nancy Johnson and Burbank Kibbey, and the delicacies served were indeed tempting.
