MANY ATTEND
RECEPTION OF
SEQUOIA CLUB

The SeQuoia Ciub-the new organiza-
tion of salonic tendencies-held its first
function last night at the st. Francis.
Tho affair had been automatically an
no6nced as informal-therefore was
there a fascinating lot of men TO talk
to. And that's a good beginning for
any club. Men and money are two
necessary elements Of success and both
were tangibly near last night.
More than $50 men and women gath
cred in the red and gold drawing room,
the most Of whom were exponents Of thu
arts or the professions. But the truth
10 tell, the smart set, many Of whom
were present at the initiatory gather
ing early u May. was appallingly scarce
but OF course. it was the early pill
grimage TO the pines or seashore rather
than disinclination 10 mingle with mere
artists and inksters and the rest Of
the ilk who earn money that produced
the Stygian void.
The members and guests were re-
ceived ia charming fashion by Presi-
cent Aiken, Mrs. Albert Gerberding,
John Mcknight. Consul Courtenay
Bennett and William Greer Harrison
the guiding star Miss Ednah Robinson,
however, was conspicuously absent
from the receiving line.
Although without crystallization of
energy much CHEEKY chatter was heard
through the rooms, and many were the
types Of guests that sauntered about
Likewise was the merry jingle Of coin
heard 10 tinkle TO the chatter, II being
