ifornia, large party of Phoenix peo-
pie returned home to take rest.
After a most delightful time on the
coast and to boil OUT, so to speak,
we put our transparent clothes and
had just settled down when 65 ladies
were asked to call between the hours
of to p. M, at the home of Mrs.
Wilson and Mrs Walker in East JEFF
ferson street, to attend a reception A
few days later between rs and 100
ladies were invited to the beautiful
home of Dr. and Mrs. w. c. Hackett,
1884 East jefferson street to garden
party between the hours of to p
m. Then to Mrs. VIM Days 1040 East
Madison street where there were about
| so ladies' who had been invited to a
tea from to p. m.
On October 1st, the various clubs
took up their work of literary, art,
charity and day nursery. On Nov. Sth
beautifully appointed luncheon was
given at Gaillards Cafe 221 East Madi-
son street by Mrs Marion Noble, COW
ers being laid for twenty. On Nov.
18th Mrs Chas. Fish of 909 East JEFF
ferson street entertained with tea
in honor of out of town guests, covers
being laid for twelve. After our Thanks

with sage and onions, a liberal portion
of pumpkin pie for trimming, we start
ed on a hike to Santa Claus Land to
do our bit for hundreds of children in
Phoenix. We were only permitted to
the halfway house where we saw
sleighs, reindeer, and toys piled high
in the air for children in all parts of
the world. The happiest of these chill
dren were the five boys at the Indus
trial school at Fort Grant who were
remembered by the Charity club
through Santa Claus. On our return
we passed through Turkeyville where
thousands of turkeys were being dress
ed for the market. We also stopped at
Prescott Christmas eve to have bite
with Mrs Mary E. Scott and believe
me, cleaned up. There was nothing
left to tell the tale. We arrived in
Phoenix Christmas morning, none the
worse for wear only our shoes were
almost gone and which we had re-
paired by Mr. C. S. V. Jones, the Ten
nessee Shoemaker at 122 East Adams
street While we were at the shoe
makers shop, the Editor of the Tri-
bune showed up on the scene with
pad and pencil and you know the rest.
Each of us was asked to some friends
home for turkey dinner as it was
i Christmas day. Myself and husband
were invited to Mrs. Shirley's hospi-
table home at 16 N. 9th street where
large turkey roasted to- golden
brown, escalloped oysters with their
little heads sticking up giving the
guests the "once over, mince pie that
larry WdlhSu anu Otucl uOAdSoSlOo
were served in abundance. There was
one continuous round of pleasure
throughout the holidays.
On Feb. 1st, about fifteen ladies
were invited to the home of Mrs. Mol
lie Vaughn, 1925 East Madison street
and all had delightful time. l just
happened to drop in at Mrs. E. S. P.
Dawson's home 1902 East Fillmore
street while she was entertaining with
luncheon. A prettier sight l have
never seen. Covers were laid for twelve
and all enjoyed themselves to the
highest.
Yesterday afternoon / peeked in
Madam o. G. Howard's place, II So.
5th avenue, and she and her assistant,
Miss Emily Crump were busy design
ing and making spring hats and cos
tunes for the ladies of Phoenix. The
window display of chic, bewitching
and stunning styles of hats and gowns,
was simply grand.
Oh yes, almost forgot the lovely
whist party given by Mrs. Phil Green
at the residence of Mrs. Ben James,
IA N. 11th street. This was one of the
select social affairs that will not be
forgotten soon by those who were so
fortunate as to receive invitations.
! must mention also the splendidly ap-
pointed dinner given New Years day
by Mrs. j. T. Lucas at her beautiful
! home 745 w. Buchanan street. Space
will not permit me to write more, but
from time to time I shall endeavor to
, chronicle all the happenings and my
views Of them More anon.
