THE CifArTERER

would like to tell you of a most
delightful evening l spent last Wednes-
day when the hotel men entertained
with a dinner at the Hotel Angelus
for the women who were with them. 1t
was strictly a womens affair, and |
don't think the men who had their
banquet at the Alexandria had better
dinner or a better time generally. Mrs.
Dwight Hart was chairman Of the re-
ception committee and also of the din
ner, and Mrs. Walter Raymond, who
was toastmistress, certainly proved
herself gracious as we'll as entirely
competent. She was witty and bright
telling many anecdotes which were ap-
plauded vigorously.
The welcome to the visiting women
given by Mrs. F. O. Johnson was fol-
lowed by a rose shower, the pink bios
SONS being thrown down the tables
with lavish hand. The next toast was
"What the Hotel Woman May Do"
by Mrs. Farley, followed by the throw
ing of laurel wreathes to the hotel
women" and was loudly applauded.
When it came to the toast Of Cali
fornia Yesterday and Today" graceful
Iy given by Mrs. Lee Holiday, in which
she said that to be truthful you had to
exaggerate, a smile went round the ta-
BILE that broadened into a grin, and that
toast was followed by the scattering of
California poppies. The last toast CIV
en- by Mrs. John w. Mitchell, THE
Gentlemen" called forth the throwing
of confetti ribbons, which certainly en-
SHARED the men who had strolled over
from their dinner to see what the wom-
en- could do without them The tables
were masses of pink sweet peas and
ferns, with crystal and silver candles,
softened by shaded silk covers and
crystal pendants. On the walls were
Of rtfSbpa
filled with Enchantress carnations and
great ropes of asparagus plumosus and
ferns connecting them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Godfrey Holterhoff of
West Adams street, Mrs. George Ma
cauly and NJ. i. Grass, who motored
to San Diego, Thursday, will pass the
week end at the Coronado hotel and
will return to Los Angeles Tuesday.

The marriage of Miss lone Dyke and
James A. Brewer was solemnized last
Thursday evening at 8 o'clock at the
home of the brides parents. The den
was transformed into a garden of yell
low tulips and white bride roses. The
wall was covered with a lattice and
through that the flowers were twined.
Overhead was a canopy of the same
flowers, from which two large bells of
orange blossoms were suspended. 1t
was under this canopy that the cere-
mony was performed. Large arches
covered with clematis and yellow tulips
