The San Francisco call., 1913-10-25

has been one long delight. 1t opened
In a burst of color, music and merri-
ment, and the glory has in no
wise abated in the four days of its
stay For every hour a special pleas
ure had been planned. and the result
was a splendid medley of formal
function and private parties for
which San Francisco has never seen
rival Tonight's masked ball at
Pavilion rink will be the most mag
nificent thing OF its kind ever held on
the coast The decorations alone will
outrival all former attempts, and the
spirit of revelry which everywhere
prevails will raise the pleasure OF
the evening to the very zenith of
mirth. A strange thing about this
week is the absence of formal din
ners. either at home or at the hotels.
Dinners there have been aplenty. but
they have all resolved themselves into
informal gatherings which the spirit
of the festival demanded The formal
functions were public affairs, the in
vitational ball at the Fairmont. for
example, but even that was unmarried
hy stringent conventionality. Portola
seems to have let down the bars, and
society has not been backward in its
expression of rejoicing.
But with the passing of the festival,
the old life of the winter season will
resume its course. With the taking
down of the decorations the cloak OF
frivolity will be removed. and teas,
luncheons, receptions and weddings
will again be the order Of the day.
