SOCIETY ON COAST

Even though many of the army men
are down somewhere in Mexico" or
along the border now, the social cir.
, cIes of San Francisco and vicinity, in
which the military men and their Ia
dies move, seem very gay this winter.
Not only service folk, but many OF
the civilians of Honolulu as well, are
acquainted with the various person.

cerpts from San Francisco society
columns:
Admiral's Ball.
Rarely indeed do the exigencies of
the United States iavy's official re-
gime call for the presence of six adj
mirals in one port at one time. But
it so happens that there is consteI.
lation of notables of the first naval
magnitude at San Diego at this time,
and they made an imposing and i'm
pressive picture last night at the
naval ball given at the Hotel Coro-
nado for the benefit Of the Navy Re-
lief Society. g a..
To be accurate, four of the admirals
are RETIRED but this fact did not de-
tract from the; glamour of the ball
nor lessen their appeal to. the imagin-
alton as figures Of military import
ance. The two leading personages at
the ball were Admiral Cameron Me-
Rae Winslow, commander-in-chief of
the Pacific fleet, u s. NJ, and Rear
Admiral William F. Fullam, command
er-in-chief of the Pacific reserve fleet,
both at San Diego with their flag
ships. NJ
The four retired admirals present
were Rear Admiral Uriel Sebree.
Rear Admiral Edward d. Taussig,
Rear Admiral Thomas C. Mclean and
Rear Admiral Charles A. Cove. All
were accompanied by. their wives.
The scene was one of splendor, ac-
companied by the spectacular attrib-
utes which cannot be ASSOCIATED from
a military function. no matter how
softened by social amenities. The
ballroom was hung with the Stars
end Stripes, the navy and admiralty
flags and quantities of flowers. The
gowns of the women were as hand
some as any seen this year at the
fashionable hostelry, where dressing
is exalted to fine art
The music was furnished by bands
from the two flagships, the U. s. s.
San Diego and the u. s. s. Maryland.
