PASADENA

Two bright particular spots stand
out as the principal social events Of
the week. one the first monthly salon
Of the season at Sunnycrest by Rev.
and Mrs. Robert J. Burdette and the
second the lawn fete of the West Side
Congregational people. The former
took place on Tuesday evening and
the latter on Thursday afternoon and
evening. Both we're wonderful sue
cesses from every standpoint
The paper Of the evening at the
monthly salon was by DR.. Agnes Clay
pole. Dr. Claypole had chosen for her
subject THE finding Of a friend" and
1t was a beautiful exposition of the
value Of friendship which resulted.
The informal program Of the evening
was opened with a piano solo by Mr..
Bruce Borden Kingsley, Of the Temple
| Ba ptist church, Los Angeles Mrs.
Walter Raymond sang two charming
soprano solos, one of them a dainty
Irish ditty.
These salons which have become
such a part Of social life in Pasadena,
took on new significance While they
usually take place each month, owing
to the illness of mrs. Burdette there
has not been such a gathering since
January. The pleasure Of the evening
was greatly enhanced by the complete
recovery of the charming hostess. I,
fete was held on the hospltab1e prem
ises of Mr.. and Mrs John Wads-
worth. This pretty property had been
| beautifully and tastefully decorated for
the occasion and the many who en-
joyed the affair pronounced the ar
rangements perfect. Gaily-colored
Japanese lanterns added materially to
the beauties Of the grounds while un-
der the great folds of the national
| flag draped along the magnificent
veranda ices and refreshments were
served.
Tea was served on the opposite side
of the veranda, while other beautiful
features were a Dutch windmill, from
which was dispensed chocolates, a
gypsy camp for fortunes and purely
Japanese stand where sweets were
| sold for sweeter charity's sake. The
| fete was in charge of the Woman's
Aid society Of the fashionable church.
At high noon on Wednesday was
quietly performed at the residence Of
the grooms parents in Los Angeles a
wedding which at once united Miss
! Edith Meuse daughter of Mr.. and
| Mrs. Charles Meusel of Pasadena, in
marriage with oliver r. w. Robinson,
of Los Angeles, and as surely deprived
| social circles of an expected church
| wedding. 1t had been expected that
the young people would have quite an
/
in Pasadena, but the coupde decided
otherwise and the announcement of
the marriage came as complete sur
prise to most of the friends of the
young man and woman. Rev. L. G.
Park, of Los Angeles officiated at the
ceremony.
On Thursday evening Dr. and Mrs.
w. A. Cundy, of South Mentor ave-
nue., gave charming hospitality in

ers' club and the handsome home of
the Cundys was beautifully decorated
for the OCCASION Dutch refreshments
and Dutch decorations were particu-
larly complete for the occasion.
On the same evening Mr.. and Mrs.
