THE WEEKS SOCIAL CLIMAX
Great Reception rendered by the
'Friscoites Last Nuht


Society-high society, as represented
among the knights of Columbus and
their friends-was at its apex last
night. The occasion was the big re-
ception rendered to the visitors by the
Northern California delegates. in an
ticipation of the visit of next week to
San Francisco. The affair was held
at the Lankershim, and in appoint
ments, program and decorations was
all that could be asked. That all the
arrangements were not perfect was
probably due 10 the fact that no one
expected the crush that occurred; the
situation got away from the good
Frisco brothers. and what started to
be merely very large function turned
itself into a crush of almost mobilize
proportions.
However, even at that, no great
amount of damage was done, save to
flimsy gowns and few tempers Next
time the good 'Friscoites viii not for
get that they are in a big city. ac-
customed to doing things in big way,
and win prepare accordingly
The Lankershim office and parlors
on the lower floor were thrown open
TO the guests. Of whom 25OO had been
asked. An orchestra in the balcony
entertained those inside, while the
League OF the Cross band did the same
stunt on the outside to a gallery that
kept the police busy for blocks around.
The parlors were decorated with bowls
of cut flowers. and during the later
hours punch was served there to those
who could reach the flowing bowls

The office was draped with national col
ors, and palms filled the corners.

Great Crowd
The guests arrived early-and often.
There was a reception committee ard
it started in to do its duty, both men
and women, but it was soon swept
aside in the human torrent that flowed
through the front doors, and which was
never seen again. The throng came III
steadily increasing numbers, and long
before 9 o'clock the office was simply
jammed full. The overflow took to the
parlors and the stairs and the side
walks, and still the people came.
There was program and its was
bravely carried out. r. P. Doolan.
chairman of the joint committee, called
for order, and those who heard, listened.
He asked for Star spangled Banner
and the orchestra played 1t, and the
throng waved the flags that had been
distributed as the people came, and
sang, OF course, few knew the words
no one ever does-but your true Irish
man, for all his loyalty to the "ould
Sod" is the best of Americans over
here, and every lusty son Of PatriclS's
isle sang with his whole heart, and
where he forgot words, he yelled. The
noise and the waving flags made a
scene never to be forgotten.

friendly exchanges of courtesies and
apologies for closer proximities than
the law allows, and much good fellow

that even if the Frisco knights didn't
allow for as big thing as it was, it
was big thing just the same, and a
glorious social climax to a remarkable
week.
AS to the women and their gowns
the scene was Kaleidoscope. In that

dressed hair and white shoulders that
one caught at first. But close inspec-
tion did make some gowns stand out
strongly. Here are a few of those
