THE NATIVE SONS. There is no parlor in the city at this time that is making a better showing than Stanford No. 76. During the term of John J. McCarthy there was, with the highest initiation fee of any parlor of the order, the admission of twenty members by initiation and since the close of his term on the last day of last year there | have been received into the "parlor as | | members by initiation - twenty-five more. | Among the recent additions to the roll of membership are A. P. Hotall Jr., Dr. Washington Dodge, D. B. Allison Jr., Harry Baehr and a number of men well known in the mercantile ranks. The mem- bership of the parlor is now 200 and it | has assets to the amount of about $8000.

The Washington birthday ball, musical and literary entertainment given by Court Apollo No. 3946, 1. O. F., in Mission Opera Hall last Wednesday night was in every way a great success. The programme was an excellent one and was made up of ten numbers of vocal and instrumental | selections, recitations and fancy dancing. | those who contributed to the enjoyment of the many present being: Professor Piceirrillo’s mandolin and’ guitar orches- tra, Edwards Humphreys, . A. Con- nelly, Professor C. Randall, Mrs. R. A. Daniels, Professor ‘W. Black, Miss | Hattie Griffiths, Mrs. Frankie Schusler, Miss C. Seaward and Miss Sadie Johnsen.

T found him as hopeful as ever, with three rlher splendid matches for me. * This was getting serious. It seemed better to investigate another matrimonial agency, and 1 fell very shortly on a less straightforward one. “I want a rich mar- riage,” 1 said, shamglessly, to a rather | tricky looking, middle-aged lady who ad- vertised them in the Lanterne. I must say that she looked -me over critically. | T therefore hastened to reassure her. “The lady’s past is not of so much im. portance to me,” I said. “You are right,” she answered, and she brightened with a smile. *I know these ladies, and perhaps 1 can do your affair | for you. For myself, I prefer them to | those pretentious little middle class 1ddughlers of families who know nothing and who are never content. What will you get from one of those agencies like | that in the Batignolles? An old maid, | who, in exchange® for a small dot, ex- pe a husband who will adpre her. Oh. no! don’t talk to me of the little -bour- geois They will never go out of certain occupations for men. Their ambition is to marry an engineer or manufacturer. You are wise, young man,” she repeated, z’\\’llh conviction. “I will get you an act- ress—rich, witty, a trifle passee, perhaps, but a superb match!” Her littie fat eyes gleamed with antici- pation. It was clear I was to be victim- ized, but it would be worth something to | see it out. “*Monsieur,” she went on,, in a manner meant to be tempting, “‘with women who have lost their class there is no disad- vantage at all. The are no notaries or guardians to divide with and no parents to be inquisitive about the spending of the dot. You deal frankly with them— no treason! no heart mysteries! no de- ceptions! She will say to you, Fes, 1 have had romances. It Was the Prince de G. or the Marquis de Y. But let us not speak of that. Let us speak of the fu- | ture, not the past.’” That is what she will say to you. And has she not the right to | | impose conditions? . She has money. She | can choose her husband. You are not the only one who offers himself. There are | nobles!"” “Authentic nobles?"” “Authentic, authentic? I do not know. No one insists on that. Only if you were | | titled, with a real baptismal register, you | could make one of these rich marriages immediately. If your father had only put a ‘de’ to his name—but I forget; you are a foreigner. “Then how shall I succeed against three noblemen “Appear | est! These s afraid their fim bands will waste their money. They | | want hon . good young men proper, respectable, honorable. That the style for you, young man. Appear to be intelligent. Pretend you are a journal- ist. Another thing. and it is a little deli- cate. Are you good?” “How—good?" “Are you sound in wind and limb?"” “I should hope so, at my age —" “So much the better—but—m-m-m. one can never be sure. Young men are not s what they should be nowadays. drink too much, they smoke too much, they keep late hours. If you are good, so much the better. I have a wife for you, a beauty and she will make your life a paradise. Fifty francs, now, in ad- vance.” I paid her 35. Thirty-five francs is $7. She gave me an appointment with the lady in one of the interminable picture galleries of the, Louvre. “One instant,” T begged. ‘‘What is her character of mind? How shall I fit my conversation to her taste? Shall T talk of the theater, politics, travel, music, litera- ture or the remembrances of my child- hood? Does she desire to be amused or have her heart touched?” “Between the two. I went to the Louvre and waited. The lady came! She was really beautiful, dressed with quiet elegance. She had charming manners, almost timid. She could not have been more than 32 years ©0ld. Madame, the matchmaker, was with her. She presented me and walked away. The charming “lady with a past” sat down. We spoke a few moments, I think, of the grandeur of my native land and the happiness of American wives. *“Oh, Mon . Dieu!” she interrupted, “It is 4 o'clock, and T have an engagement with | my dressmaker at 3:30! Bon jour! An- other time!” That was all. I think there was no mar- riage .intended. I think the beautiful lady is already married. She is good and re- spectable. She needs pocket money, and the marriage broker gives her half the proceeds of each deal. Otherwise—but otherwise T do not like to think of it. It s not flattering to the man who paid his 3 francs down—for a rich Parisian wife.

Leland Stanford Lodge has adopted a resolution requesting the delegate to the next Grand Lodge to do his utmost to se- cure the re-election of Prescott L. Archi- bald as grand dictator for the ensuing term. The seventh iraternal reunion of the lodges of this order was held last Mon- day night, when Saxon and Keystone lodges visited Anchor Lodge in Wash- ington Hall. There was a good pro- gramme, and the best of feeling pre- iled. These reunfons are proving very popular, and the attendance grows larger at each successive meeting. The visit of Occldental and Far West | lodges to Polar Star Lodge was a very | interesting one. There was a large at- | tendance, and there were many bright | and interesting ‘addresses, one being by Past Grand Dictator Barnes. The smoker given last Monday night by Yerba, Buena Lodge was one that de- monstratéd that the members of the lodge understand the art of giving an affair of that kind. There were present at least a hundred and twenty-five, in- cluding several dictators and reporters | from _other lodges, who were there to | take points on the art of mvnF a smoker, .| The lodge provided a fine collation, good clgars and a fine profiumme of music, instrumental and vocal, and many spe- clalties, which furnished a very agree- | able evening's entertainment. The prin- | eipal address was that delivered by Grand Reporter Johnstone, and ag a result of | his eloquence strangers to the number of twenty-three signed applications, to be- come members of the lodge. |~ Yosemite Lodge was wfi-lted Ia!‘; | by P.
