Willingham of Los Angeles, found the lady tearfully and nervously en- deavoring to present her case to a jury and promptly volunteered his services. The offer was accepted by Mrs. Rich- ards, who cheerfully relinquished her self-imposed task of proving that Will- ingham had trifled with her affectio and turned over her first witness, Will- ingham himself, to the English barris- ter. Thereupon things ran more smoothly and all danger of Mrs. Rich- ards giving way to an attack of hy- steria was removed.

We all know—and proudly proclaim— that San Francisco has long been the nursery of Western art, music and let- ters. In a motherly sort of way she has nurtured the budding genii that were born of her, even becoming a kindly| foster mother to those of foreign shores who loved the arts—and the social life they engendered. But with all the atmosphere of atelier, studio and library that satur- ates San Francisco, there is no one hallowed home where men and women ily Club, etc., where Kkindred spirits meet and travel the Elysian paths of companionship. And so, too, have the women their clubs, but it is a com- mingling of clever men and clever wo- men ¢n common ground that brings out the best and highest In both—likewise the subtlest pleasure. Besides, it might become a factor in domestic harmony! Who knows? And thus it is that to- morrow night the Sequoia Club, brought intp nebulcus being by Miss Ednah Robinson, will meet and.perfect RAISE STANDARD OF BUTTER FAT upervisors Rule That Milk| for Four Months of Year —_— The Board of Supervisors yesterday | passed to print an ordinance raising the | standard of butter fat in milk to 3.3. per cent during January, February, March | and April, and 3.4 per cent during the remainder of the year.
