The wives and lady relatives of i..o members had been invited and were largely in evidence in the very tastefully decorated dining hall. A very toothsome supper was discussed while the Haw- thorne orchestra discoursed sweet music. Between courses, Past Chief Rnnger" Thomas B. Goodwin, the toastmaster, called for responses to_ toasts after Dr. Willlam A. Hansen, chalrman . of the committee of arrangements, had delivered a_ very. lmerutlns introductory address. Hugo K.

Goetze as floor manager and Fred Smith as assistant, was very assiduous in its attention to the members and the guests of the court and all were well pleased, San Francisco Club, composed of mem- bers of Court San Francisco, will have an excursion to and picnic at Fernbrook on the 1ith inst. THE DRUIDS. On the last Saturday in April Noble Grand Arch Godeau, accompanied by Grand Secretary Martinoni and = Past Arches. D. Bamman’ and J. L. Gomez, paid a special visit to Morgan Grove in Redwood City, where a large class of strangers was initiated, Bamman acting as noble arch, Martinon! as vice arch, the noble grand arch as past arch and Gomez as conductor. There was a good attend- ance and' much enthusiasm. The grove promises another class for the near fu- ture. After the ceremonies there was a banquet at Anderson’s Hotel, where Judge George H. Buck, P. N. G. A., occupied the head of the table with the visiting of- ficlals. There were Interesting talks by the visiting officers, Judge Buck, J. S. Stafford and A. A. Anderson. The picnic that was given by Man- zanita Grove in the Santa Cruz Moun- tains last week was attended by about 800 persons and was a very enjoyable affair. The grove in Sutter Creek at its las held meeting initiated seven candidat and by so doing increased its member- ship to seventv-two. RS Mission Grove of San Luis Obispo is still advancing. At its last held session it initiated two strangers and received two etitions. Under the leadership of Dr. nowles, the noble arch, this grove has had a most suceessful term.

Deputy Grand Arch Guglielmoni said that he had no- ticed complimentary notices in the fra- ternal department of The Call in relation to the grove, and that after having made three visits to it unexpectedly he had dis- covered that the notices were not suf- ficiently flattering considering the decor- ous and impressive manner in which the business of this subordinate is conducted. After the initlation the following officers were installed for the current term by District Deputy Noble Grand Arch Stock, assisted by Deputy Grand Arch Gugliel- moni, Grand Secretary Martinoni, Grand Treasurer Horn, Past Arch Bamman and Past Arch Manser: R.

Bowe, Tom Thornton and a number of volun- teers. This was greatly enjoved by all, &nd after the excellent collation, which was a part of the degree, had been dis- posed of there were short addresses by the grand officers, Junior Past Arch Dr. B. F. McElroy, Noble Arch Zowasky, Su- pervisor Bent, a member of the grove, and Tom Thornton, after which cheers were given for the noble grand arch and for the grove.

After the con- tents of the several baskets had been dis- cussed there was a dance. Miss Alice Ticoulet paid the last of her officlal visits to Bonita Circle in Man- gels’ Hall at Twenty-fourth and Folsom streets last Thursday night. The circle, which is one of the small ones of this city, but lornl to the core and endeavor- ing to do all it can to uphold the princi- ples of the organization, showed its ap- preclation of the visit by decorating the hall with ribbons of various colors and covering the stations with flowers and evergreens. 'The circle initiated three candidates, the work being done in a very creditable manner. After the initia- tion the grand chief companion delivered a very interesting address, declaring that the time was drawing near when she will lay down the gavel of authority, and that while she was glad to be relieved of the many responsibilities that the office had imposed upon her during the term she regretted that the close of the term was so0 close at nd because of the many kindnesses that had been shown to her and the help extended by the entire mn‘- bership, which had ‘cemented so mucl klendzm%e een herself and the gen- wit aced with ‘has been: beufl e h:tere-'i w.lltlfi wo e the circles that 30 had while a grand r, and would do all in her power to Then there ware office: help them along. dresses by Grand Sub-Chief Mrs. Helena Woritis, Grand Financial Secretary Miss Agnes D, Bremer, Grand Treasurer Mrs. Kemp Van I e, Mrs. Smith, chair- man of the I;;und trustees; Mrs. Emma Harrington, P.

The speaking was followed y the presentation of a pair of bisque figures to the nd chief companion in remembrance of the occasion, the pre- sentatioh of a handgome sofa cushion to Mrs. A, Davis, the district deputy, and a silver matchbox appropriately engraved, to E. H. Chamberlain in token of ap- preéiation of his work for the circle and of financial assistance whenever the cir- cle was in need of funds. The declaration was made and heartily indorsed that Chamberlain “is a rough diamond, who shines when otcasion requires. Re- freshments were served after the close of the meeting. THE NATIVE DAUGHTERS. The Native Daughters of the Golden West are busy at this time electing del- egates to the Grand Parlor. The announcement that Darina Parlor had placed iteelf on record against the proposed asgessment of 50 cents per cap- ita for the purposé of raising a fund to entertain the grand officers and delegates to the Grand Parlor was premature, It should have been that the parlor pro- poses to take the matter under conside eration, and that the authority of the joint committee to levy such an assess. ment will be fully discussed before any action is taken thereon. Alta Parlor discussed the proposition to levy an assessment on the members to raise a fund for the entertainment of the | grand officers and delegates, and con- cluded that such an assessment could not be levied, but wishing to help the projecr the parlor donated $100 toward the funa. nda Parlor got over the assessment proposition by voting $25- to the enter- tainment fund. Beveral of 1ue parlors have levied.an assessment of 50 cents in aid of the en- tertainment fund, but many of the mem- bers of such parlors have declared that they will not pay the assessment on_the ground that there is no authority to levy such, notwithstanding that the grand president has declared in a decision that such an assessment can be levied if a parlot so decides by a mgjority vote. Some one has suggested that the Grand Parlor that is to meet in this city in June adjourn in time to allow the rep- resentatives to go “slumming” through Chinatown. Grand Vice President kuza D. Keith has declared herself against such a proposition. She says that the order of Native Daughters of the Golden West, which was formed for the purposs of upholding all that is good, should not Pplace the seal of official recognition upon the plague spot of San Francisco, ana that on the contrary all loyal citizens should, do all they can to obliterate rather than perpetuate a hideous spot as an attraction for tourists or a holiday trip for the visiting Native Daughters. During the past year Miss Frakes, Lhe grand secretary, has received a number of letter congratulating her upon the | printed proceedings and her good work as | chiéf scribe of the order, but Alta Parlor has the proud distinction of being the first to send the grand secretary an ofii- clal letter of thanks and praise, The following named were visitors at the office of the grand secretary during the past week: Emma Gruber Foley, Orirda Parlor; Dr. Florence A. Temple, Darina_Parlor; Dolly P. Hyams, Sans Souct Parlor; Mrs. Mary Valente, city: Mrs. Mary Capurro, city; Lillie Borle and Mrs. Kate Lester of Genevieve Baker Par- %gr;Klgg{;;tle Ha({p ‘ol Angell:lm Parlor; E. . , grand vice president; £ Bailey of Darina Parior. Eannan THE EASTERN STAR. Maspha Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, was instituted at Brentwood, Contra Costa County, on the night of the 23d of April by Worthy Grand Matron Mrs. Clara A. Giberson, assisted by Grand Sec- retary Mrs. Kate J. Willats and the mem- bers of Ariel Chapter of Antioch. The leading officers of the new chapter are: Mrs. Henrietta Stone, worthy matron; ‘Wilt ' Jereslaw, worthy patron, and Mrs. Igabelle Buchanan, associate matron. The event took place in the new Masonic Hall, which was for the occasion lavishly dec- orated with roses of every hue and smilax. The work of the order was ex- emplified by the officers of Ariel Chapter in a very satisfactory manner. The cere- monies of the evening were followed by a banquet that was enjoyed by all pres- ent and which closed with best wfshes for the prosperity of the new chapter. The lecture and musicale given on the night of the 29th of April under the | auspices of San Francisco Chapter No. 196 was one of those rare treats that. is seldom given to an audience in the fra- ternal world. The musical programme rendered by Professor W. ' Clarkson’s Mandolin and Guitar Club was composed of the following named: Mandolins— Misses Anna Cattermole, Carrie Piperling, Lizzie Lagomarsino, Mary de Martini Adele Heeder, Mrs. K.

Celestine Delmara, Willlam Parker Warren, George Lerond and Mrs. Evelyn Cardoza was high class in every particular and was well received and heartily applauded by many in the audi- ence who are noted in local musical circles. . The lecture on ““The History of Freemasonry,” which closed with an elo- quent tribute to the membership, par- ticularly the ladies thereof, of the order of the Eastern Star, was by the worthy patron, C. L. P. Marais. It was based upon records and also on personal re- search in connection with the foundation of “Human Rights Lodge No. 1 of Men and Women Free Masons of France,” while the lecturer was for a number of months a resident of Paris a short time since. It was a masterly compilation of facts grouped in a most interesting and entertaining manner and was a revelation to many who were of the opinion that they .were well up in Masonry and all its ramifications. At the close of the lecture Mr. Marals was the recipient of many congratulations for his very instructive presentation of the subject. The affair was under the direction of the following committees: Entertainment committee— Mesdames Charlotte E. Marais, Bertha Mackrett, Carrie Robinson, Anna Soren- sen, Laura Lowrie, Ella L. Hevener, Celestine Delmara, Messrs. C. L. P. Marals, George W. Geauque, J. M. Low- rie, J. A. Sorensen; reception committee— Mesdames Eva Scheeline, Maud E.

(ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.) “A man who wants to succeed has no right to get married,” is a re- mark we hear only too often. Women resent it, but that does not alter the fact that there is a great deal of truth in the statement, that the man who does not get married succeeds far ofterer than the man who does. And it is due to this fact that the number o0f unmarried men is increasing yearly. Ignore the facts as we may, no woman can deny that it seriously handi- caps a ‘man in life to marry before he has reached the goal of his ambitions. And this, in face of the well-known truth, that a man often owes his success to a woman. the road to success. these men go home with heads ac sibilities, only to meet a woman co) Compound. ers are overcome. this generation Look around the world and carefully consider the men who gave great- est promise in their youth, and are such dismal failures now. result of your observations agrees with mine, every one of these men will have a wife who is always ailing, always complaining, a wife who is ner- vous and irritable.

He tries hard to induce her to go to the doctor, but most of the time she Will not, and, indeed, generally she is right when she says the doctor does not do her any good, for this woman probably is suffering from some female weak- ness which doctors do not seem able to cure.

Most women do not, however, and it is these women who are always suf- fering from backaches, headaches, pains in the side and unnatural dis- charges, who are a constant worry to their husbands, who continually unfit the-man for attending to his work as he should. The wife who really loves her husband and has his success at heart will keep herself well with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It cures all the aches and pains to which our sex is so subject, and makes a woman strong in body and nerves. After taking Mrs. Pinkham’s medicine a woman becomes a true helpmate to her husband.
