The society wrorld of San Francisco
has been playing host to a great many
noted and interesting visitors lately.
Foreomst among these distinguished
guests, of course, were President and
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, but their visit
was extremely brief and busy. Among
other visitors, Baroness Hochstaller,
with her little son, is a most interest
ing figure. The baroness is noted for
her beautiful gowns and for the fact
that she owns a real honest-to-good
ness castle in Europe. Lord and
Lady Stampe of Denmark as well as
Lady Popham Young are making ex
tended stays in California. And con
sidering other and more noted royalty
now visiting in the United States, it
seems that the tables have been
turned. Americans need not trot to
Europe any more to get a glimpse at
the representatives of nobility, for,
like everything else, they come to us.
