'J MRS. O. P. HUNTINGTON" NOT HERE' THIS TEAR. Mrs.

P. Huntington did not come West this summer, and. in fact, as the years go by her interest in California grows less and less. It Is true, there are old. friends here who would" gladly make her very- welcome, but she prerers to go anroaa.

tne guest very often of he adopted daughter, the Princess Hatif eld t. Mrs. Requa and Mrs. A. Towne are among Mrs.

Huntington's dearest friends on this coast- and they always entertain? for her when she comes to California. 1 Mrs. Huntington has one of the finest homes In Paris, having purchased the famous Elysle palace when it was placed the, market several years ago. It Is perhaps the finest home owneoy any American In Paris. The Princess Hatzfeldt.

"In the early days the cotillons were so artistic, with their pretty figures and flowers, and the inexpensive little trinkets that were valued aa souvenirs of the charming fete. Whereasv nowadays a cotillon-practically contains no figures and seems to consist Of one general grab for presents each hostess trying to outdo the other In the value of-the favors she gives." 1 CTJEVEKEST'OF WRITERS ON SOCIAIi MATTERS. The cleverest writer on social matters on both sides of the Atlantic today Is Frederick Townsend Martin of New 'Tork. He belongs to the most exclusive New Tork circles, and to those -of London and Paris. His sls-terrts Mrs.

Bradley Martin, one of the wealthiest 'women to Europe, and his niece is the. Countess of Craven. Mr. Frederick Martin wfrtes extensively of the American hostess and he says of her: "She never loses that unfailing and taneous personality which are so characteristic of the born American. She is a strong, powerful woman, full of splendid ideas.

She has done an Immense good by using her Influence to arouse the ambitions of her husband, brothers and friends, and to make them realise that they mustl achieve something in life, and desert that class of Idlers who are. the destruction of nation. And again Frederick Martin says, apropos-of "Tears' ago, when I was a boy In my teens in London, there would be many balls of a night that cost comparatively little, where there was an Inexpensive supper, music enabling the gay and young to dance and enjoy their youth, and- an entire absence of that painful, overpowering Impression that the ball had" cost lre than the host or hostess could really afford to spend." It means that. we might have many more entertainments each winter, if hostesses felt that" they could' entertain along Inexpensive lines. They have the will the Inclination "to make their friends welcome inthelr homes, but they: hesitate before what seems a great expense.

But the latter Is not always necessary If they would only think so. BEAirrUb'LIi GOWXS AT WEDDIXGS. In the early September days one sees many beautiful gowns, and there seems to be a perfect color scheme of purples, lavenders and mauves. That was specially true at the wedding of a I across at the Vanderbllt homes and at Mrs. Oelrichs residence, but there has never been any-, friendship be-, twen Mrs.

Oelrichs and Mrs. Huntington though both owe their positions In life tor orina-gold. But on the continent it is different. The Princess Hatzfeldt Js known" in every large city on the continent, and she is one" of the American girls who has married a title to achieve social success. She Is very fond of Mrs.

Huntington, who is her aunt as well as her foster mother, and she spends a great deal of time with Mrs- Huntington" when the latter abroad. Through her daughter, Mrs. Huntington has met many distinguished people, and it is no wonder that she prefers life abroad to coming out to our Far West -where most of the friends she used to know 'have passed on. BACK, BACK TO THE SIMPLE LIFE. The trend of entertaining hls year is very suggestive of "Back to' the simple life," In great contrast to what it was last season.

In many cases it was so elaborate that old-fashioned i hostesses, of many years standing, did not care to entertain at alL And the consequence was there were less really good times In the 'social world than had been the case In many seasons. The i pendulum is swinging the other way- and one bright young hostess has started the ball rolling, giving series of" entertainments, 'on delight fully informal lines, and sending her guests' away most enthusiastic over the happy hours they have spent In her peaceful home. bright hostess is sounding a slogan that bids fair to bring many other young matrons to her standard. She says frankly: competition no Imitation for me. I will not imitate the nouveaux riches I will not come into competition with them.

I shall invite my friends and give them the Void-fashioned entertainment that I can afford, but there will be no effort after the ordinary 1 'splurging in my home." She is. one of our leading young matrons, and she Is keeping; her word In fine style. Another young matron who is giving a series of luncheons has asked her guests to come prepared to remove their hats and most of them are very-glad to do so. Hats at luncheon are really suggestive of a hotel or luncheonand it Is really. wonderful sleight-of-hand performance to serve a luncheon to a group of behatted young matrons.
