RY THE CHATTERER

The younger set has been enjoying
a round of entertainments since school
closed and the young women from the
eastern colleges and schools have re-
turned for their vacations. There
have been picnics boating and auto
mobile weekend parties and dances, as
well as luncheon and theater parties.
Among the young women who Will re-
turn to the eastern schools after play
days are over is Miss katherine john
son, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. e. p.
Johnson of West Twenty-eighth street,
who will have another year at Smith
college and then a years trip abroad
before she makes her bow to the So
cial world. She will be the guest of
honor at a dinner dance Tuesday even
ing Then Miss Louise Hunt, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Sumner p. Hunt, and
Miss Lucille Ballard, daughter of Mrs.
William e. Horn, will return for an
other year at Ingleside seminary at
Milford, Conn; Miss Sarah Clark,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Clark,
who returns to Wellesley for another
year; Miss Josephine Lacy, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. William Lacy, returns
to Mount Vernon seminary. There are
also many of the young women who
have finished their school days and are
about to make their bows in the social
world Miss Elizabeth Hicks, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hicks of
West Adams street, has completed her
course at the Sacred Heart in San
Francisco and will be presented in the
fall. Miss Mildred Burnett, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Burnett of
Beacon street, has been much enter
tained since her return from Mount
Vernon seminary in Washington, and
Miss Lucille Clark, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Wesley Clark of Westmore-
land place, has graduated from Welles-
ley and will be formally presented in
the fall. SO we will have full bou-
quet of sweet buds in the fall, and
there are many plans laid for a gay
season.
Every time I get a letter from the
women who are travelling abroad this
summer someone mentions the out
door dining places of the continent and
London. This always makes me Won
der why none of the smart hotels Ell
ther here or in Pasadena has not insti-
tuted this feature. 1t would make life
here quite different. AS our hotels are
now arranged they are much like those
of New York or any other eastern city.
A trife more comfortable in some re-
spects, perhaps, but without character
that is at all distinctive of California.
A letter from one of the younger
women now in London says: 1--WE stop
ped at the Savoy and the feature I
liked about it was the lovely out of
doors dining room. We went there
for tea or coffee in the afternoon, dined
there and many of the guests of the
house, as we'll as folk from outside,
came in for an after theater supper in
this same charming place, so secluded
and quiet with its plants and vines
that we could scarcely believe ourselves
quite in the heart of London"
1t occurred to me that since the AL
exandria is to be remode1ed and gen.
orally fixed up it might be possible to
have an outdoor restaurant. Since
Herr Reichl is now abroad looking for
chances to improve this hotel hope he
will have the idea impressed upon
him while he is where he may study
the latest thing in such delightful ar
rangements.
Hostesses are doing their entertain
ing en- route this year. Every Satur-
day afternoon there is a general exodus
from the city. and autos laden with
pleasure seekers spin over the roads
toward mountain or beach or country.
The summer homes at the seaside,
cabins in the mountains, and comfort
able ranches with wide verandaS all
offer tempting opportunities to the
seekers after the simple life. There
is no dressing for these affairs and
no fuss of any sort. One need not
even send a formal acceptance unless
it is entirely convenient, but may drop
in on the hostess serene in the knowl-
edg that she will be at home and that
there will be plenty of nice cool things
in tall glasses to quench the dusti-
ness in the throat.
Mrs. E. T. Earl is one of the most
prominent of the summer hostesses,
and nearly every week end sees her
giving an auto party somewhere which
is terminated with delightful dinner
either at some of the big out of town
clubs or hotels or at her Wiltshire
boulevard home.
Today a large party of motorists will
visit at T. T. Silents ranch. Mr.. and
Mrs Frank J. Thomas also pass much
time at their ranch in this neighbor-
hood and are constantly evidenCing
their hospitality. James S. SlausOn
and Mrs. Hugh Livingstone Macneil
entertain weekend parties each week,
and there are always Saturday to Mon
day parties at Bolso Chica, where the
Hampton L. Storys from Altadena,
Michael J. Connen and his wife and
