Probably the largest private func-
ton of the season and one marked by
great beauty and elaboration of detail
was the dinner-dance given last night
at the Alexandria by a group of
women who are recognized leaders in
the social life of Los Angeles.
The invitations, numbering between
two and three hundred, were limited
only by the capacity of the Alexandria
dining room, where the deliberately APP
pointed dinner was served, the room
being afterward cleared for dancing.
The guests were received in the draw

delightful evening were Mrs. Michael
J. Council, Mrs. George J. Denis, Mrs.
