LUNCHEON FEATURE
Fore" Will be Cry as Guests
Enjoy Game on Table
During Repast

You may play golf, you may watch
golf, you may talk golf; golf may per-
meate the entire atmosphere you
breathe, but only if you are an attrac-
tive little debutante, entering into a
wonderland where everything is built
to order just to please your tickle fancy
may you wine and dine on golf For
that is what is going to happen to
Miss Ethel Crocker. the charming de-
butante daughter of Mr. and Mrs Will
liam II. Crocker. at the luncheon to -
to be given in her honor next Friday at
Ell Palomar, the beautiful country
home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles w. Clark
at Hillsboro.
With every one else who was fortu-
nate enough to receive an invitation. on
the verge of expectancy over the
famous Crocker ball TO be given the
preceding evening in the new Crocker
mansion at Hillsboro, Miss Ethel her
self, in whose honor both events have
been planned, is more excited over the
golf luncheon arranged by Mrs. Clark
as pretty compliment to a we'll known
fad of all of the Crocker children since
childhood.
A REAL GOLF COURSE
While a number OF elaborate sur
prises have been planned as side fea-
lures TO the whole golf idea, the most
marvellous part of the luncheon will be
the decoration scheme An entire golf
course, with putting greens and min
iature bitches and oak trees to obstruct
a badly aimed ball. with up hill and
down dale stretches and with caddies
and players and golf balls and brassies
and mashies and all the hundred and
one things pertaining to the great
Scotch game, will be laid out on the
table round which the merry group of
Miss Crocker's special friends will be
seated. And not only will the entire
course be represented in colors true to
nature, but the gayly clad little figures.
bent on the sport of the thing, will
mechanically go through their PAGES
and play a real, live, intense and ex-
citing game of Is holes, while the fair
spectators on the side lines chatter over
the fish and salad.
Orchids and double dahlias and other
rare flowers will run riot over the rest
of the house, but in the dining hall golf
alone will reign. The salad will be in
golf ball shapes, and the sherbet and
ice, and each course will be suggestive
of the game in some form or other
while the place cards will be typically
golfish, hand painted, with g miniature
golf set attached, and the favors will
line, which until the day of the great
event will be kept strictly secret.
ALL THE WAY FROM PARIS
The big mechanical toy, brought spe-
cially from Paris in honor of the debut
Of Miss Crocker, has already arrived
and is ready to be set in place on Fri
day next. the figures starting in their
match play, ready to make their first
drive as the "a guests seat themselves
around the board. The idea is an alb
solutely novel one to the coast and has
been planned after much forethoueht
and at a huge expense at the first
really large entertainment given by
Mrs. Clark since her marriage few
years ago.
Since then Mrs. Clark has travelled
so much and has been so much inter-
ested in golf and other outdoor sports
that she has devoted little time to in
door festivities; but as she, as Miss
Celia Tobin, enjoyed her first season to
q. great extent under the chaperonage
of Mrs. Crocker, it seems but fttjSg
she should be the first outside the fam
lily to entertain in honor of the eldest
daughter of the Crocker household.
Among her guests on the occasion
will be most of the debutantes of this
year, and Miss Crocker's most Intimate
little group of friends. including among
their number Miss Lee Girwin. Miss
Vera de Saba. Miss Evelyn Barron and
Miss Myra Josselyn.
