THE CHATTERER

= OS ANGELES society as well as
the musical world has more than
IL usual interest in the wonderful
success of Miss Leila Holterhon,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Godfrey Hol-
terhoff of West Adams street, on ac-
count of the concert given by her in
Berlin. where she has been studying for
more than six years and OF Which
much comment is given in the musical
section this morning. Miss Holterhoff
has a large number of friends in Los
Angeles. who We're much delighted
when she returned from Berlin two
wears ago on a short visit to her par
ents, but she was here but short
time before she decided to return and
again take up her studies. There were
many affairs given for her and her
friends WED with each other to do her
honor. Miss Holterhoff is a graduate
of the Marlborough school and her
friends are all the mNre delighted to
learn of her achievement in the musl-
cal world, although it may take her
away from Los Angeles most OF the
time, as she has many flattering oitqrs
from the most of the big agents Tor
concerts for next year Mrs. Hotter
boff will leave soon to pass the summer
with her daughter travelling on the
continent.

Friends of the Newhall family in Los
Angeles have received invitations to
the marriage of Miss Anna Scott to
Almer Newhall at the St John Pres
bvterian church in San Francisco, on
Thursday, April 26, followed by large
reception at the residence of the brides
aunt. Mrs. Kittle. Although the young
lady has not visited here as yet, Mr..
Newhalrs friends are looking forward
to a visit from them both in the near
future.

May and June are the months OF
brides and this year is no different
from other years, and as all the world
loves a lover, society is busy enter
tanning the brides to be and their brl-
dal parties. Motor parties, picnics and
theater parties are the order or the
day and the evenings are not long
enough to hold all the doings of the af-
fairs Many of the brides are going
awav to live after their marriage and
those affairs must all be crowded into
a short space of time, while others are
coming back from their trips and go to
housekeeping in the city, so for them
there will still be something doing all
summer. Miss Lois Allen is among the
latter. and on account of illness in the
family her wedding will be very quiet
tanning her later in the summer.
s
Mrs. w. S. Hook has opened her
beautiful home in West Adams street
and is passing most Of her time In
the city, with an occasional trip to San
Diego. As there are so many friends
who will go down to Albuquerque to
attend the wedding of her son Barbee
TO Miss Pearce, which will take
place May IS, a private car will be
impressed to take them down. The
many friends of Mr.. Hook are plan
ming to do much entertaining when he
and his bride return from their we'd
ding trip.
Los Angeles is fast becoming the
most cosmopolitan of American cities.
Especially is this true of the town
artistic and social activities and the
fact frequently causes comment from
the stranger within our gates. Wheh
Miss Maud Allan was here, her COM
panion and friend, Miss Carlo Rosa
(who by the way is English to the eX-
treme). was chatting to a gentleman
at an afternoon tea, and when the gem
tleman asked her the inevitable ques-
ton:
"Wen, Miss Rosa, how do you like
Los Angeles?" she remarked in her
slow English drawl, "Oh, very much
indeed: much better than l like Unit
ed States"
s
At the dinner which was given at
the Angelus some days ago Mrs. Wal
ter Raymond remarked that if we
waited long enough, all the people we
ever knew or cared for would find
their way out here and we would thus
be spared the necessity as well as the
expense of taking the journeys back to
see them.
Among the new enterprises which
ambitious women have been trying the
latest seems to be more unique than
any have ever heard of. Mrs. Beat
rice Hubbell Plummer and Mrs Flor
ence II. Baker have been actively en-
gagged in prospecting for gold in the
San Bernardino mountains and rumor
saws they have found it. Although they
have always been stockholders in min
ing companies they have now lived In
the camp. prospected and panned the
gold. and had the actual experience.
What next?
1t seems to me with all the affairs
which have been given in this town
for which flowers are the proper gift
that some one in the theaters and con-
cert halls might learn how to deliver
them. The other evening when the
women's orchestra gave It's concert, the
ushers stood in front of the prima
donna and all that could be seen was
the black dress coats Of the ushers.
The audience was left to guess what
they carried.

One of our most beautiful suburbs is
Altadena, which is nestled among the
hills and is the home Of many persons
