Los Angeles herald., 1910-04-17

were many social affairs, but they
were SO arranged that one got to them
all and had chat with ones friends,
but now golf in the morning, luncheon
at the country club, with bridge club
in the afternoon, followed with din
ner at some downtown club or cafe,
precedes the theater and then q sup
per afterwards, makes Los Angeles
seem like the big city 1t is growing
to be. Calling seems to have gone out
of fashion and although the automo-
bile is ever available, the ladies take
long rides to the beaches, stop for tea
at a downtown tea room between the
hours of five and six, meeting all the
world and her sister there, instead OF
on the front veranda or reception room
as formerly.

A funny story which came to my
ears the other day in regard to the
appointment of Henry T. Gage as min
lister to Portugal, amused me greatly.
The old-timer who had just heard of
the presidents choice seemed to be
much disturbed over the affair, and
going to a mutual friend broke forth:
Minister to Portugal! Well, l Won
der at that, for | don't believe that
Hen Gage can ever repeat the Lord 5
Prayer, let alone do any gospel preach
in"
