By idle aming and idle visions, the work, wages and business of this | city may be sacrificed, and this the people do not want. | When Mr. Kahn was in Congress he looked out for our practical interests. He dwelt on good terms with his colleagues of rties, and enjoyed that popularity which is a powerful element ’s usefulness. Our people did not detect any deteriora- | in the sweetness and light which Mr. Livernash seems to think | ) ted. During Mr. Kahn’s service he went about taking vonder of both parties in the House when he and Mr. ! ceeded by such political curios as Livernash and ) San Francisco cannot afford to be fantastic more than once. | A joke should not be carried too far. The action of two years ago d be reversed, and having supplied a source of amusement and s annoyance at Washington, it is time now to quit horse play and get to business in the election of our Representatives. In Kahn and Hayes we have the chance to secure two good and | practical Representatives, who know the uses and the limitations | of legislation, and do not expect to reconstruct the world by an act | of Congress. We appeal, in a fon-partisan spirit, to the Demo- | crats of this city to join their fellow citizens in securing our share | f the benefits which our position deserves, and it is in the power of | Congress to give, by electing men who represent the whole commu- | ity and in whose hands the interests of labor and trade will be jually safe. As far as Democrats are concerned they owe no al-| legiance to either Livernash or Wynn, and are therefore free to| scharge their public duty at the polls, free from any partisan obli- | gal:un. T strong fiction section, in addition to a number of special articles of more than ordinary interest. “The Grafters,” Francis Lynde’s | powerful novel of politics, runs through its third installment and | begins to gather in the threads for the climax. The story, which | has proven one of the most popular that have lately appeared in the | Sunday Call, will be completed upon October 30. Following this | novel will appear, complete in one installment, “The Second Mrs. Jim,” by Stephen Conrad, one of the season’s popular books. The presenting of a popular novel in one installment, at a price which would not pay for a fraction of the paper used, is an cxiraordinary and hitherto unprecedented departure in Sunday magazine fields. “A Fill of Adventure,” by Albert Sonnichsen, is a lively and | spirited narrative by a writer who has of late years taken front rank | as a writer of sea stories. Edward W. Townsend continues the adventures of his country hero, who “receives a great light from a dark place and proposes marriage,” and in general displays a whole- some, if dearly bought, change of viewpoint upon life. A new serial, “On and Off the Bread Wagon,” being a chronicle of the adventures of an amateur “hobo,” makes its first appearance. | This ingenious and amusing recital of tramp life is from the pen of Charles Dryden, formerly a San Francisco newspaper man and em- ploye of The Call, a writer who is fast becoming noted for his facile pen. There are an unusually large number of storiettes by writers whose names have become familiar to readers of the Sunday Call: Channing Pollock, Epes Winthrop, Barry Preston, Kate M. Cleary, Richard B. Shelton and Martha McCulloch Williams. Kate Thyson Marr has a caustic and satirical installment of reflections on mar- ried life in “How to Be Miserable Though Married.” In the women’s section there are several bright articles. Mae: Slessinger contributes a story on “The Art of Miniature Painting”; Augusta Prescott, “New Gowns for Autumn”; Madge Moore, “At What Age Should Girls Marry,” and there is a page story on the proper method of taking care of the hair. A preliminary announcement is made calling attention to a local fiction contest soon to be inaugurated by the Sunday Call, in ! which a cash prize of $50 will be given each week for the best local f:ciion. Full details will be published on October 30. THE SUNDAY CALL MAGAZINE. HE Sunday Call magazine to-morrow presents an unusually | THE PRESS OF THE NATION.

And yet | one may be sure that there is some great though unseen or unrealized law, which nature, the most cunning and potent of law-givers, has ordained for creating these mutual attractions, writes T. P. O'Connor. Everybody is familiar with the fact that tall men are nearly always drawn toward small women, and similarly that if a woman be next door to a dwarf, the object of her admiration is always something approaching to a giant. Whe attractiveness in moral qualities is pretty much the same—that is to say, it obeys the great law of con- trast. The man is conscious of the wants in his own makeup, for nature is too niggardly ever to make a perfect AT THE LACROSSE GAME. Tom—Miss Holdtite is too reserved for me. Dick—I know.

QUALITIES MAN ADMIRES IN A WOMAN AND WHAT WOMAN LOOKS FOR IN A MAN being; if there be even huge gifts in man or a woman, there are certain to be likewise equally great defects. The man, I say, is consclous of cer- tain defects in his makeup; and he seeks in a woman the qualities in which he is lacking. The timid man loves the woman of high spirit; the clinging and feminine woman adores the strong, self-willed, arrogant man who knows his own mind and insists on the satisfaction of his own ambi- tions and desires. Very often you see a very dull man adore a woman simply because he recognizes in her the intelligence which he feels he lacks in himself; and very often you see a dull woman adore a man simply because she is dazzled by his superior intelligence. Is there a great intellectual man who is recorded as having married a great intellectual woman, with just a few ex- ceptions here and there, such as Browning and Mrs. Browning; or if there be any such marriages, is there “GIRL NOT OLD MAID UNTIL EIGHTY-FIVE™ Encouraged by suggestions by Fathers Alexis and Richards of the Passion Order, who completed a mis- sion last Sunday evening at St. Jo- seph’s Roman Catholic Church, One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street and Alexander avenue, five Bronx couples have since presented themselves at the altar and been wedded. It was reported in the Bronx yesterday that half a dozen other couples contemplate mar- rying at St. Jerome’s in the next ten days, says the New York World. The mission lasted three weeks, the concluding week being devoted to sin- gle men and women. Father Alexis declared that there is entirely too silly a notion about the age when a gir] should marry. “After they pass a certain age, they begin to consider themselves no long- er eligible,” sald Father Alexis. “Their friends regard them as old malds. Now this is a ridiculous notion. Girls ought always to consider themselves young. A woman is young until she ig 85. After that she may be regarded as an old maid. “A young woman should not allow & young man to call upon her longer than six months. If he doesn't pro- pose marriage at the end of that time she should dismiss him, or if she fails t do =0 her parents should. Too long acquaintance and ‘keeping company’ prejudice the interests of a girl.” German School Baths.

Carlyle’'s wife was In some respects almost as remarkable intellectually as he was himself; but their marriage is a terrible warning to all time against the marriage of two highly intellectual per- | sons. Talleyrand married a very! beautiful but a very stupid woman, and when some one asked how he could| have chosen such a dull companion he made the historic answer: ‘“Her quiet spirit is restful to me.” If one wants to find out, then, what are the qualities in women which are not attractive to men—one must seek the qualities in which men are defl- cient, and in which women are their complements. The first of these quali- ties is physical beauty. The second of the qualities in which women are dif- ferent from men is unselfishness. ‘When it comes to the sacrifice of self, woman always rises superior to man. ‘The third distinguishing quality of ‘woman over man is her gentleness. i | | | — A SWIFT BOY.

Fire hundred invitations have been sent out, and with our glorious California climate putting on its best company manners every one of the lucky half thousand will gladly pay compliment to this charming hostess and her sister. In Oakland particularly the Marsh girls were noted and commented upon for their beauty, which is of the true spirituelle type, crowned with ex- quisite blonde hair. There are four sisters, of whom Miss Elsie is the youngest. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Gutterson will give a series of musicales this win- ter at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Al- len G. Freeman in Berkeley. The re- turn of these artists from a European trip, where Mrs. Gutterson studied under wonderful Harold Bauer, is a true delight to society, as well as to all lovers of music. R Miss Nadine Nuttall has announced her engagement to Arthur Lawton of England. A daughter of Mrs. Zelie Nuttall, she is also widely known for her mind of research, having made a study of the Astec language and translating matter of great import- ance to students. Near the City of Mexico Mrs. and Miss Nuttall own an ancient castle, which is preserved with its antique atmosphere and sur- roundings. No date is set for the wedding, although signs point to its near approach.

Mrs. Alexander Baldwin, Mrs. Alexander Keyes, Miss Sharpe and Miss Cooper were among those who as- sisted Miss Henley. . Miss Lillie Reis, whose marriage to William Huie will soon take place, was the guest of honor at a luncheon given by Mrs. James Hamilton Morton on Thursday.

It stands on a beautiful knoll, next to the charming little Diblee | bungalow. The Reynolds bungalow is large, with a delightful, broad veran- da partially inclosed in glass, an open fireplace adding to its glory. As in the old Southern places, the ser- vants’ quarters are outside.

Miss von Kisielnicka will appear in concert at an early date. ¢ e Mrs. Frank Joseph Donnelly has taken apartments for ghe winter at the Hotel Colonial. I e e — DAINTY RIBBONS OF THE SEASON Among the daintiest accessories of my lady’s wardrobe this fall will be the extremely pretty and attractive ribbons. All colors and hues are on sale and some of the are very new. The width varies con- siderably, but as the wide belts are m, vogue the ribbon very often measures ten or twelve inches in width. A new idea is to put perfectly plain ribbon and applique flowers on shown of white satin ribbon ten inches Dresden effects it. One is wide and down the center green velvet leaves are placed with a fancy stitch. This is a great saving also, and women who are handy at this sort of thing are able to have beautiful beits and collars at a small cost. Persian effects are also popular, as are the striped ones used so much for sash purposes. Louisine ribbon and satin are among the pretty ones of the season and the plaids do not remain far behind in popularity. Ribbon man- ufacturers are not exactly satisfled this season, as the millinery line does not bring into Gise any of the new ribbons. The hats are not trimmed as simply as formerly and very few have even the smallest part of ribbon or silk for dec- oration. A noticeable fact is that the double-faced satin ribbons are not in the least degree popular and this is perhaps caused by their stiffness. PAST EXTRAVANGANCES ‘We hear a great deal about the lux- ury and extravagance of the age, but when you think of it a great many of our most reckless fashions date from past centuries. In the fifteenth cen- | tury, for instance, the feminine ward- robe was magnificent, with its gar- ments weighed down with laces and embroideries in guipure, points cou- pes, Milanese and Venetian, not for- getting the gold embroideries, worked with precious stones, etc. For several centuries women wore white shoes, in kid and ordinary leather, as well as dainty chaussure in embroidered satin for dancing the pavane and minuet in. The white kid shoes now being worn are delightful- ly supple and durable, and clean sat- istactorily. In the time of Louis XIV the women wore most sumptuous lingerie |and dessous made chiefly of what used to be called les dentelles d’ete, a kind of silk blonde lace with a cord In it, which used to be mounted over colors for the petticoats, and was also worn for the’ hanging sleeves which used to show the arms so prettily.—Paris Fashions. THE CHEERFUL MOTHER There are many conscientious fathers and mothers who make themselves and their children miserable by taking youthful foibles too seriously. It is an innate propensity of a child possessed of average good health and spirits to make older people laugh with him; not at him, but at the things that seem amusing to his own sense. The mother who has the blithe and ready humor to enter into his fun be- comes his most fascinating companion. He heeds her rebukes and bends to her correction without ill feeling, where Finest eyeglasses, She—My, but Mr. Flaxyman is stingy, | Sternness would arouse his pride and front of Key's Celebrated ire, for he is assured that she is ready to share all his innocent pranks. ’ NEW SILKS. SOME GOOD RECIPES; GIVE THEM A TRIAL POUND FRUIT CAKE.—Rub to a cream one scant pound of butter with one full pound of sugar. Beat the yolks and whites of eight eggs sep- arately.

Wash the apples, slice and core them; put them over the fire in the preserving kettle with enough cold water to cover them and simmer them until they are reduced to a pulp.
