This enterprising club (the California) gave a reception to the inmates of the City and County Hospital on Wednes- day last under the auspices of the so- cial sclence department, Mrs. Jacob Brandt chairman. Tobacco, pipes, ice cream, cendy and tollet accessories were distributed to the sufferers by the women of the club and their assistants, and if the “God bless yous” don’t waft then there's small efficacy in prayer, for every one of us was blessed, either audibly or silently. How do I know? I heard the forther and I felt the latter. | They were spoken with a smile that had but one interpretation, and that was gratitude. The following ladies lent their ald in making the affair a success ¢ Mrs. Frank J.

What a pity that Mr. Sweigert was the only man present to offer an affidavit as to the legitl- macy of the stories thrust upon us from the platform. The stories of Mrs. W. S. Leake, Mrs. Arthur Cornwall, Miss Jenne! Morrow Long, Mrs. Libby and Mrs. Louise Battles Cooper are warranted gilt ed-ed. Pardon me if 1 retail Mrs. Cooper’s, as it promises the merit of being brief, which quality is a joy to a journalist: I met a woman friend the other day | whom I thoroughly dislike. I dislike her on general principles, but when she approached me, it being almost a new year, I thought I would be mag- nanimous and I said, with an awful wrench, ‘Ah! how do you do, my dear? Awfully glad to see you looking so well. What a stunning gown you are | wearing!’ Drawing herself to a rather formidable height, she said supercili- ously. Indeed! I am so glad you ad- mire my gown. But—unfortunately— I—cannot so much for yours.’ O, really,’ said 1, ‘perhaps you could —if you could lie as readlly gs I can. “'Simple Simon"' (La- H.

When a poor, weak, siily little wife- wanders away from the hearthstone she is seldom welcomed back. Is the reverse condi- tion true, however? Just watch out a little and see. But ’'tis a woman’'s way to forgive. The programme of the day was in charge of Miss Ella V. McCloskey, Mrs. 8. Mason Kinne, the worthy president, being relegated for the hour to the stiff-backed throne on the right of the hall. Many stunningly gowned women were noticed at this annual reception, among whom were Mrs. Thomas Morf- few, Mrs. Hoshland, Mrs. S. P. Blumen- berg, Miss Ella McCloskey, Mrs. W. P. Buckingham, Mrs. W. §. Leake, Mme. Seminario, Mrs. Cornwall and hosts of others who consider artistic gowning quite as Important a duty as that of being mentally clever. \ THER The Outdoor Art League had a most delightful afternoon Monday, when J. Frank Sulllvan addressed the ladies on “Parks.” his official capacity as Park Commissioner Mr. Sullivan is eminently able to elaborate upon the question of parks, their necessity, their care and their ethical value. This lec- ture is in logical sequence to the work now in the hands of the California Club, which has at the present moment the task of finding a playground in the North Beach district. This is a crying need of the city—no one knows the awful congestion existing in this part of the city lest he has climbed the Telegrapic steeps to know. In alleys five feet wide a full company of urchins could be mustered in ten minutes. Where do they come from? Well, from twists and turns and labyrinths that [ would fear to follow lest I'd never get back. And these are the little ones who need a breathing place, and they need it badly. This is a matter that the la- dies of the club must urge, and urge urgently. P ‘The Corona Club held a red-letter ses- sion last week, at which the following Appeal for a Park in Con- gested Locality of North Beach. — programme was presented Mrs. W. D. Littleton, lecture on “Cathedrals of En‘lnnd. Dr. H. J. Stewart, talk on American composers; Miss Jenkins, solo, “Eecstacy”; Mrs. Beach, “The Blackbird"; Miss Mabel Hogg, ‘“‘Lul- laby” and “Auf Wiedersehen Miss Jewel, “Folk Song”: Miss Frank, “Land of the Leal”; Miss Foote, “The Dancer”; Miss Florence Derby, “In the Woods”; J. H. Rogers, “In the Part- ing”; Miss Julla Goeninger, “Secreta’” (a composition of Dr. Stewart's) and “She Wears a Rose in Her Hair. An intermission followed—which doubtless was needed after so lengthy a programme—when Dr. Crockett spoke on “Science in Medicine”; Miss Stand- art addressed the members “In the Lighter Vein"”; Mrs. Peltret gave a bi- ography of clever Mary E. Wilkins; Mrs. Fairchild dwelt upon the clever- ness and beauty of Mary E. Johnstone, and Mrs. Gabb presented a paper on Helen Keller, the deficient world-won- der. Now, I've not been informed whether his was an all-day and all-night ses- sion, but from the quality and quantity of entertainment it would seem that the members would have become men- tal dyspeptics. Such splendid material would have provided good entertain- ment for three monthly sessions. It seems a pity to pungle up such num- bers into a conglomerate mass, but for those who could digest It all it was in- deed a feast for the gods. But wouldn't it be better to distribute such good ma- terial over more time? o e = The Forum held their New Year's jol- lification on Wednesday. A health to the Forum! For there, inde:d, is good cheer and good eggnog. In honor of Mrs. Payot, Mrs. C. J. Wetmore wrote and sang to the music of the “Stein Song,” some verses enti- tled Here’s to Our President.” Mme. de Seminario contributed two songs to the informal programme, Mre. Arthur Brown recited and Mrs. J. H. Gilmore, in the costume of an old Aunt Saman- tha, read two appropriate selections. After this there was a general singing of college songs and ‘“Auld Lang Syne” was sung with a swing that carried with it the zest of good fellowship. The following is the California Club programme for the month: Tuesday, January 5—Programme in charge of forestry section. Charles W. Reed, “Forest Conditions in Califor- nia”; Emil Pohli, “Forest Legislation in Californta” Mrs. Emil Pohii, “The Black Forest”; Miss Katherine Hittell, address. Tuesday, January 12—President’s day.

January 21—‘Modern Fiction,” Miss Ethel Lieb, Mrz. Alexander Masson, Miss Lydia Mil- . e . The Susan B. Anthony Club held a public session in Golden Gate Hall on Monday last, when Miss Gail Laughlin addressed the assemblage upon “Child Labor.” Among the telling points made by this logical speaker was that Cali- fornia stands convicted of the crime ‘of child labor—that while a law stands on our statute books forbidding children under 12 to labor, the abuse goes stead- ily on. Women of the civic clubs, awaken to this slogan, “Away with child labor!” If a man or woman puts forth a child into the vortex of the ~orld and cannot provide for its phys- fcal necessities—letting alone the moral —then it bécomes the duty of the State to take care of it and educate it, until it is on a fair way to care for itself in- telligently. And the law has fixed this age at 12. Herein lies the solution of all our political and social problems, and the only intelligent solution. s e The Laurel Hall Club, meeting at 1620 California street, issued the following calendar for the month: January 6, 2:30 p. m., business meeting— mme at 3 p. m.: Music; vocal solos, (a) ““The Haymaker (Needhaw), (b) “‘Spring Has Come'_(White), Miss Xena Roberts; address, ““The Forestry Policy of the Government of the United States,” William H.
