The San Francisco Chronicle says:
Mr.. and Mrs. William G. Irwin hon
ored three of the season IS most attract
i've debutantes, Miss Charlotte Wilson,
Miss Margaret Hyde-Smith and Miss
Anita Harvey, with beautiful dance
at their palatial residence at Washing
ton and Laguna streets last evening.
About 9 o o'clock, guests began arriv
ing and, after removing wraps, were in
formally received in the white and
gold ballroom or the lower floor. When
the hundred and twenty-five hidden
were congregated in the handsome
apartment they made brilliant show
ing. But the ballroom itself drew forth
many a sigh of admiring appreciation.
Against an ivory woodwork touched
with gilt were panels of a rich old gold
brocade. At intervals along the room s
length and breadth were set in six
panel length mirrors framed in narrow
gilt. These were brought to the Irwin
home from the palace of Queen Hor-
tense, in Paris. Directly opposite the
entrance of the ballroom is deep re-
cess containing a movable stage, so
made that it can be used for the pur-
pose of accommodating the musicians as
was the case last evening, or of pro
viding scenery and space for theatre
cal purposes. The only flowers used in
decoration were two tall jars of Amer
lean Beauties and st. Joseph lilies.
Near the broad door stood Mr. and |
Mrs. Irwin and her three young guests
of honor all in dainty white as was
their hostess. Soon the inclination of
those greeted timed their footsteps to
the seductive rhythm of the dance
and the evenings pleasure was in full
swing. Between waltz and deux
temps, the handsome great rooms were
through, there being not only
much to interest, but many a coy cor
ner for conversationing.
