: OAKLAND, Jan. Z1.-"Oh, for a JIM
mie Phelan or a Dick Hotaling over
here" sighs the Oakland bud as she
reads glowing accounts of the social
stunts of those two millionaire
bachelors. Only the other day Mr..
Hotaling gave a Japanese affair for
Miss Bates that out-Japanesed the

the Friday Night. Two of our most
charming young brides to- be-Miss
Cordie Bishop and Miss Jane Crellin-
were there. and looking very sweet and
happy. Miss Bishop wore a chiffon
gown of her favorite blue. and Miss
Crellin was very stunning in a pale
green liberty chiffon. Miss Ethel Crel-
lin was also in green. One always
wants to take a second look at Crissie
Taft, and her gown of white satin and
rare lace attracted many an admiring
glance last night
Miss Burnham is another girl that al

gowned in gray chiffon. Some of the
other girls who looked especially we'll

pretty.
The little coterie of girls who enjoyed
Miss Bishops hospitality, including the
hostess herself. consisted of several of
the most accomplished members of the
smart set. Pearl King not only recites
unusually well. but is a clever musi-
