The French mode of wearing arti
fetal flowers on the street costumes
has for months been knocking at our
doors, and has at last been accepted

has been attentive to the variety of
boutonnieres affected by the women of
the smart set lately. American women,
some one asserts. have been preju-
diced against the cloth or silk gardenia
or dahlia, though why we can not ex-
plain to the astonished Parisians.
why. Madame. you wear no real
flowers on your hats" said one en-
phatic Frenchman. yet you will not

The dance last Tuesday evening at
the Army and Navy club was a happy
reunion for the service set, but a gala
occasion also for society, since these
dances at the clubhouse always retain
their charm and attract number of
visitors to each party. The officers
have a cordial way of receiving their
friends and entertain delightfully."-. ac-
cording to the tradition of their set, so
that every dance given either at the
club or at the Presidio is memorable
