The San Francisco call., 1910-03-13

--HE charm Of the quiet days is
passing and society seems rest
less for the diversions Of the
earlier season, for the bridge
parties and other affairs of the
week bear a striking resem-
blance to gayer season. There have
been several small clubs organized. too,
that are distinctly for entertainment,
and the game Of bridge has held almost
equal place with the musical interests
of the late Lenten days. The week has
seen the usual number of early summer
pleasure seekers departing, and the
homes at Burlingame are open again
for the season out of town. The social
elite who make their home on the
peninsula are frequently in the city,
however, and their going does not
necessarily mean a change in the social
program. Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Martin
are here almost every day for either
luncheon or dinner parties, and the
Francis Carolans are frequently here
IN fact, Mrs. Carolan has been much
in evidence this week in her new
charitable enterprise and preparation
for tag day next Saturday. Miss Jen-
ME Crocker is another visitor in town.

TO be given next month and she is to be
one of the principal figures she will be

Mrs. Henry Foster Dutton is staying
at the Fairmont and has no thought

The Samuel knights have opened their
country home near by, but are going
abroad later in the season. AS for the
younger girls. they are all in town with
the exception Of the few who have
gone south for an early summer visit
Miss Anna Weller went last week with
her grandmother. Mrs. John McMullin,
but Miss Innes Keeney and her fair
cousin, Miss Mary Keeney, are in town
Miss Marian Zeile is at the Fairmont
and has been entertaining in quiet
way, and Miss Enid Gregg. who was in
New York several weeks ago. is home
for the late gayeties. Miss Kathleen
Farrell is going or has just gone south
with her mother Mrs. James Farrell,
and Miss Ruth Richards has returned
to her home in San Diego. For the
most part the debutantes are remain
ing in town. and there will be enough
of the exclusive set, or more than
enough. to MI the program for the
tableaux vivants that are the latest
subject of discussion. and enough also
to constitute a large audience
The social interest is concentrated
just now upon the tableaux to be given
Tuesday, April 5, and the following
evening in the colonial ballroom at the
