Her many friends here caught only
a glimpse of Mrs Hearst. for she re-
NAMED in town only a few days re-
turning last Monday to her Pleasanton
home Mrs. Hearst came up on
Wednesday for the Century club recep-
tion, but went back to PleasantOn i'm
mediately afterward. for the pleasures
of city life have never weighed with
her against the charm of the quiet days
at the Hacienda del POza de Verona.
The life there is almost ideal. as the
many friends know who have been her
guests.
Mrs Eugene de Saba and her two
little daughters have left town for
long visit to Victoria and will not re-
al II
until some time next fall. The De
Sablas stayed at the FairmOnt on the
night of the Greenway ball and Miss
Vera. who is two years older than Miss
LeOntine, made her first appearance at
the dance. She was little nervous
about it, for II was rather a large or
der for a small debutante. but had a
delightful time in spite OF her shyness.
and looked very pretty in a simple
white frock. Miss Vera will be for
maIly introduced next winter. although
she is already a great favortte and
really needs no Introduction. She is
great friend OF the Brewer girls and
the two families of daughters inter-
change constant visits between here
and BurIingame.

Mare island have been full OF guests

planned by the various hOstesses. DE-.

Miss virgiIia Bogue suddenly reap
peared in the social world last week,
after an absence Of more than a year,
during which time she has been on the
Atlantic coast and in Europe Miss
Bogue is really handsOmer than ever.
and still clings to the classical fashion
of wearing her hair that she adopted
several years ago. She would be still
prettier without the prim braids and
plaits. for her face is too fun of ex-
preston to fit the madonna styles. but
she is quite good looking enough as il
is. Miss BOgue is only here for a
short time. leaving next month for the
east again. She was guest at the
Greenway ball, and dozens OF old ad-
mirers, surprised to find that she had
returned, rallied around her.

itself, has she seen anything so hand

minute to the last Mr. Greenwav vvas
assisted by group OF prominent mat

ball for several years. They had a
terrifying amount of handshaking to
do, but they got through it very
promptly, and turned their attention
to introduetions and dance cards. The
aaneing ola not fairly begin until just
before the midnight supper. but then
it kept up until really astonishing

stairs.
