There seems to be' small need of an excuse for fetes these merry, busy days, but every event is made a ralson d'etre.

Though several of this city's fair daughters are. well trav- eled and conversant with European manners and ideas, there are few. who desert for so long a period as has Miss -Younger. She has positively prolonged her foreign stay into years, so that San Francisco Is little more than nominally home to her. Still, she will enjoy her stay with old friends, even though there is small likelihood of her taking per- manent residence here. with the advance of the season. Wed- dings, teas and luncheons are following fast. One of the small though pleas- ant affairs of the week was that given last Sunday by General and Mrs. Charles Austin Coolidge in honor of Lieutenant Campbell Batcock. U. S. A. Army affairs are , rapidly Increasing All-Hallows' Eve, even In this prac- tical age, . lays claim to . numerous fol- lowers who willingly, even if timidly, peer into the unknown. The grown folk, take .stranse delight, too. In dis- secting, the charm. With this object In view, three hostesses gathered about them thirty or more, uninitiated on Hal- loween. The home was -Mrs. Brom- well's and aiding her were Mrs. Joseph Kelly and Mrs.. George Borneman. 'Tis said these "children of a larger growth" were ; as happy and well-pleased with the entertainment as a younger 'gen- eration- might have been. The departure of Mrs. Warren Olney with her daughter, Miss Ethel Olney, while a matter of congratulation, for them is still a cause for regret among their many friends. But - the spirit of "speed the parting guest" is upper- most, and amid the farewells there have, been recently many affairs of pleasure given to the two travelers. Mrs. and Miss Olney -will tour Europe,' stopping in many Eastern cities en route. Mrs. Warren Olney Jr. recently, invited several of the closer family friends to bid adleux. Among those who received with her were Mrs. Ed- ward von. Adelung, Mrs. Walter Hart. Mrs. Louis Bartlett. Mrs. J. . K. Mc- Lean, Mrs. Bayata, Miss Wellman and Miss Mary Williams. Though 'tis paradoxical . that buds should blossom in winter time, the truth of this matter still asserts Itself, and every day proclaims a new flower. Miss % MarJor!e Greenwood Josselyn (what a pretty name!) made her pretty bow to the world of merriment yester- day. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Josselyn held tea and received the congratula- tions of their many friends for this winsome daughter's introduction. In January Mrs. and Miss Josselyn will be at home on second and third Fridays. If there's a handsomer young matron In town than Mrs. Louis Pierce It has not been my good fortune to see her. A few days ago she lunched at the St. Francis, wearing a white embroidered cloth gown, with a large white hat and violet veil— a Whistler picture. Miss Isabelle Kendall is the most sought after maid in the burg over the bay. On Wednesday she was enter- tained at cards in charming fashion by Miss Noelle de Golia, the following con- stituting the receiving party: Miss Clarisse Lohse. Miss Edith Downing, Miss Bonnie Downing, Miss Elsie Klm- ble,; Miss Letitia Barry, Miss Evelyn Hussey, Miss Ruth Kales, Miss Lillian Isaacs, Miss Anita Oliver, Miss Lucre- tla Burnham, Miss Ada Kenna, Miss Jessie Fox, Miss Myrtle Sims, Miss Carmen Sutton, Miss Marlon Walsh, Miss Nicholson, Mrs. Henry Rosenfeld and Mrs. Louise Allender. Miss Maud Smith and her mother, Mrs. George Law Smith, have returned home full of reminiscences of charm- ing hospitality in the East. In all the larger cities the ladies were delightfully entertained, but with all the allure- ments of travel they were "glad to get back"— the San Franciscan's refrain. Friday night was the gladdest, mer- riest night of ' all, for* 'twas genial Ned Green way's birthday. As on all other natal days within the memory of his friends, Mr. Greenway gave a din- ner. Then came the first big dance of the year, the Friday Night Assembly. And ¦what a lot of little fluttering debu- tante hearts were abroad that glad night at this their first ball, and bless- ings on them for their happiness. pez, U. S. N.; Lieutenant Babcock, U. S.

Then there was the luncheon* given in honor of Miss Ursula Stone, the dainty debutante, by her mother, Mrs. Bertody- Wilder Stone, and a fascinat- ing little affair it was, full of the fun and frolic of maids at the debut age. Among the guests were Miss Ursula Stone, Miss Elizabeth Llvennore, Miss Carol Moore, Miss Helen Bally, Miss Newell Drown, Miss Rhoda Pickering and Miss Marie Pickering.. Tuesday was the card party of Mrs. George Rodman Shreve at the Century Club, where a goodly gathering wooed luck amid a bower of chrysanthemums and green things.

Monday started the ball a-rolllng' with the duff dinner to Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wilson. It was given at the Palace, with striking accoutrements of flowers and music.

Richard Hotaling, Edward Greenway, Edgar Mizner, William Mc- Lean and Mr. and Mrs. William Cluff. Blessed is the burg that has near it an army post it gets a vast amount of style from it in the way of clever men and buttons and braid. Likewise is a fisher-town lucky that hath for its front yard a harbor big- enough to mother the ships of nations that come a-visiting from afar; because their of- ficers are gallant fellows, and interest- ing. The little diflVulties of speech, such as were encountered when the Lena's officers became temporary resi- dents of San Francisco, cause scarcely a flutter in these polyglot days. But how blessed, indeed, is a burg that hath both an army post and a naval station at her elbow! Ah! little maid and thooigrhtless matron, eliminate from your party lists the handsome chaps who serve our Uncle Samuel and nee how puny your teas would look, and your dances. Besides, these posts are so prolific of husbands. Now, that's not an unimportant factor. On the 15th another tea will b'e given at the^same hours, to which a laree coterie of friends will be bidden.

It was on that eventful day that Miss Maisie Langhorne was pre- sented by her mother, Mrs. James Pot- ter Langhorne, at her Pacific avenue home. During the hours from 3 to 6 the charming little maid made her ini- tial curtsey, amid banks of madrone berries. ough and many others.
