Will Miss Anna Peters and Miss Edith Metcalf, members of the smartest families Of Ean Francisco's smart set, be barred, hereafter, from the swell functions given by Edward M. Greenway, the oity'a social czar, or will several dozen ma trons carry out their threat to remain away, with - their daughters, unless the sforesalil-TSfialdens are denied Invita tions? This is the question that Is agitating social Circles and that is giving "Czar" Greenway something to ponder over. It all happened last night at the Bachelors' and Benedicts' ball. given by Greenway at the Falrmount as the last of the pre-Lenten functions. The danc ing was decorous In every respect until after the supper a J a. m.

Greenway was in de- ; fipair. The older women were furious. MisS'-Petera anaMiss MeHcalf defied 4hem all, -and The ragglnr'' continued.
