ner given in the Burlingame club last
week by the Henry T. SCOTS for
Thomas Sherwin, the Boston visitor,
who has made so delightful an impress
sion here. The Fred Kohls have prom
ised an informal dance in the near fu-
ture. which ought to be a delightful
affair, for they never do things quite
as other people do, but the date is not
set. Otherwise everything is very
quiet. Miss Mary Keeney is begin.
ming to be counted quite resident of
Menlo Park, for she spends a greater
part of her time there with Miss Flor
ence Hopkins. and as the Laurance
SCOTS and the Willard browns have
been visiting the Hopkins house (where
both Mrs. Augustus and Mrs. William
Taylor are spending the summer), it
has been quite a center for good times.
The Joseph Tobins and the Horace
Davis Pillsburys are back in Rurlin-
game after q visit to the Van Ness
ranch near Napa, and the Mountford
Wilson's. who have Mrs. Joseph Bryant
Crockett as their guest at their luS&

come out from the east for his vaea-
ton, and he and his sister, Frances.
are going about everywhere together,
as they did before his school days.
Things are a trifle gayer in San Ra-
iael, perhaps because there is pros
pect of wedding or two to break the
monotony, and the tennis and golf
tournaments keep every one alert. The
FRANK MadisonS are in their home
there again after month or two
of roughing it at Inverness. Miss Jo-
hanna Volkmann has gone over to San

glorious scenery in the world all about
