quartet of young lawyers here
who have convinced one another that
they need fresh air and exercise have
recently taken to mountain climbing.
One of their number, young socie-
ty man of Pasadena, while being able
to lead german and do side step
at any function where grace and tact
are requisite and necessary, is also
practical. 1t was he who with the

full things ever used for mountain climb
ing. When in full regalia the four
start out one isn't sure whether
Coxey's army has been resurrected or
some Japanese volunteers are making
for Russia.
They started out gaily one Sunday
morning not long ago laden
with edibles. OF course every
mountain climber, the uninitiated
especially, does that. They had twelve
pounds Of porterhouse steak, quart of
cream, some condiments, gallon
coffee pot, four cups and saucers, some

pies.
While each was trying to look cheer
full at the next, who was perhaps
more heavily laden, or more burden
somely so, a man and a wagon and a
horse got in difficulty.
Mr.. Society Man Of Pasadena was the
first to the rescue and held the horses
head manfully while the Occupant dis
entangled the harness.
But, either he had not divulged his
identity by word or look or what, the
man with the buggy mistook them all
for tramps and bestowed in the most
benign and charitable manner a five
cent stogey on each.
They proceeded on their way to the
mountain top, all the while the
Society Man acting as guide. and on ar
riving at the summit he set about to
prepare a meal of which he had
talked for several months.
First he built fire on a rock and
then, when he had lost about tell
pounds of avoirdupois testing the tenn
perature with drops of water, he broiled
a steak.
They. all agree that it was the great

effrontery the next day when while
ensconced within their cosy homes be-
ing rubbed down by an attendant for
sore limbs, to blame the latter on the
Society Man, uniting in the statement
that he was to blame for their being
lame and tired.
That is just what one gets for ex-
tending a charitable hand once in a
while to the deserving.
The past week has been a festive one
with a predominance of luncheons and
teas and a few important evening af-
fairs. The latter part witnessed two
of the prettiest receptions given for
some time, both being remarkable for
the number of young maids and mat
rons, who, in the prettiest of attire,
thronged the affairs
The first was given on Friday after
noon by Miss Frances Coulter in honor
of her guest Miss May Belle Wood, of
Bangor, Me-, who is spending the win
ter here.
In the drawing room bright green
prevailed with an occasional touch of
pink, for which carnations were used
In another room green and red were
used, while the dining room was en-
tirely in yellow.
Here a large bronze Japanese vase
filled with jonquils rested on the tea
table. On the handles of the oriental
vase were clusters of the blossoms tied
with yellow satin ribbons. Large
loose clusters of jonquils were used on
the buffet and sideboard and the dainty
yellow candles were shaded in the
same soft hue.
Miss Coulter wore a stunning gown
of pink and blue and Mrs. John Van
Giesan Posey, who assisted her. was
attired in white lace robe. Miss
Inez Moore was attired in pink and
Miss Wood wore handsome gown Of
blue crepe de chine.
The young women who presided at
the tea tables were Mrs. Frank Bel
