Ells- worth. 1 One of the most delightful card par- ties of the many given last week was | that at which Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Cole- | man of 1625 Oak street were hosts. The rooms were redolent with the odor of yuletide, and red predominated in the . scheme of decoration. As the date was the tenth recurrence of the nuptial day of the hosts, many exquisite floral tributes were received, as were many other kindly remembrances. Four- handed euchre was played, with the usual vagaries of fortume. After the game had ended and the winners of the ! prizes been proclaimed supper was served. In the dining-room, as else- where, the decorations were red, while soft gilken shades shed a pleu.nt glow over the feast. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Hugo Keil, Mr. and Mrs. John J. Lermen, Mr. and Mrs. Frank 1 J. Donnelly. Mr. and Mrs. George Lei- i bold, Mrs. J.

Mrs. Minnie Davis Seeks Re- fuge in the City Prison for Herself an(l Baby Boy kS F \'l‘HbR FOR HELP ! s Her Husband Made Her | Larn Living for Family| as Dance Hall Waitress: Mrs. Minnie Davis, a comely looking young woman, and her baby boy about 17 months old are lodgers at the City Prison. Mrs. Davis' father is John R. Stine of 3108 Vinton street, Omaha, Neb., head of the Muystic Shriners of that city, and she has wired to him for money to take her back to her home, as she is destitute. Yesterday M Davis called upon Captain Duke the Central Police Station. She exvlained that she had been informed that he was a Mystic Shriner and she asked him to help her. She told a pitiful story and at once en- listed the sympathies of the captain. She said she was married to Clyde Davis in Omaha about three years ago. Davis was then in the service of the Federal Government. They lived hap- pily for a year or so, and then her hus- band began to neglect her. He lost his position and about three months ago they came to this city. Their funds were soon exhausted, and as her husband did not obtain employment she procured a position in the Empo- rtum. Her income was not sufficient to keep them and she said her husband made her get employment in the Cape Nome Dance Mall at 525 Pacific street as a waitress, with the consequent degradation that attaches to such a position. Her husband remained at home in their room at 644 Sacramento street most of the time and looked aft- er the baby. Captain Duke and Policeman Engel the room at 644 Sacramento where they found Davis. The captain denounced him for his conduct and he whiningly said: “Do I look like a man’that would do such a thing?"” After Mrs. Davis had gathered togeth- er her few personal effects she and her baby were sent to the City Prison and Duke sent the dispatch to her father in her name. Davis, she said, had torn up their marriage certificate, but she picked up the pleces and handed them to Attorney Joseph Cognet, who lives in the same house. d man, Daniel O'Connell, Miss O'Connell, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Kelly and Mr. and Mrs. William H. Powers. The tea given yesterday afternoon from 4 to 6 o’clock by Mrs. E. Dinkelspiel at the Hotel St. Francis was one of the largest given this winter. The large red parlors on the mezzanine floor were utilized, and pretty decorations of cut flowers and ferns made the rooms most attractive. Three hundred invitations were issued, and a delicious crush was seen in the rooms at the busy hour, most of the men calling after 5 o’clock. The St. Francis Musical Art Society will give the smartest concerts heard in San Francisco for many moons, be- ginning on the 28th, when Mme. Gad- ski, the soprano, will be heard. CLUB PARTIES. The Alumni Association of the C. 8. M. A. held its annual reunion and dance on Thursday evening, December 8, in Golden Gate Hall.

The officers of this organization are: President, John Hammond; vice president, Miss Carrie Dinsmore; recording secretary, Wallace Scott; corresponding secretary, Miss Grace Hortop; treasurer, James Walsh.

If there’s a more earnest worker in clubdom at the present holiday hour | than Mrs. Sidney Smith Palmer of the California Club I haven’t met her. As a member of the Social Science section, she has planned an active canvass for | the erection in California of a hospital for tubercular patients. The section bears the enthusiastic support of the club, and goes out to every organiza- tion of influence in the State. The fol- lowing are the facts set forth in the circular letter: One person out of every nine in the United States dier of tuberculosis.

Many East- ern States are building sanatoria for the treat- ment and cure of tuberculo ased upon the experience of private institutions of that char- | acter. The economic gain to the community | by the prevention and cure of this dread dis- | ease is enormous, Whereas, it is the sense of the cumnrnu Club that State and municipal laws should be | enacted whereby the spread of tuberculosis, in all its forms, may be prevented and whereby there shall be inaugurated a systematic edu- cation of the public in the care, treatment and | prevention of the disease, and whereby State sanatoria zhall be established for the scientific treatment of _pulmonary _tuberculosis; whereas, the California Club is preparin der the best legal and medical advice, a bill | carrying a reasonable appropriation for the above named purposes, to be introduced in the coming Legisiature of this State; be_it Resolved, in view of these facts, That the California Club does hereby call upon the people of this State to do all in their power to | secure the passage of this blll and to make personal appeals to the legislators for prompt and favorable action In its behalf.

Now, tuberculosis isn't a pleasant riod, but it is an issue that we, as an | intelligent people, are called upon to| meet. Then let's do it. SOCIALISM AND ITS RELATION TO “SCABS” Interesting Lecture by Jack London to a Large Audience at the Alhambra. Last night at the Alhambra “Jack™ London explained the merits of his political belief and the demerits of a | system that accumulates and does not distribute. From his standpoint | socialism does not mean what the un. On Wednesday the women of the| Laurel Hall Club, Mrs. Ella Sexton | president, will forget to be gravé for | the hour and will turn back the hands | of time to their babyhood days—how | far back I shall not say, not I. A mer- | ry time shall these gray-haired babes | of the Laurel Hall Club have when they | gather 'round their Christmas tree with | old-time giee—a good counterfeit of their grandchildren’s enthusiasm. Grandchildren? Why, many of the most charming members are honored by the | title of grandparents, even as is the, club’s clever president. This “silly season” is a thing for | which to be devoutly thankful. This | frivoling is the best known tonic to a tired heart and the sweet panacea for wrinkles—that is, the reprehensible ones, for wrinkles there are that be- speak good nature. AT N e The California Club, Mrs. Avlett Cot- ton, president, promises an interest- | ing day to-morrow to the lovers of | birds—and\ where are they that ar91 not? The following is the official an- | nouncement for the rest of the year: December 20—Programme in charge | of Department of Education, Mme. Emilia Tojetti, chairman. ‘‘For a Bird Day Annual in our Schools,” Mrs. Alice | L. Park; talk, “Our Blrds and Needs | of Protective Legislation,” Miss Bertha ! Chapman. Tuesday, December 27.—Founders’ | day. Breakfast at Pioneer Hall. ‘ . s e On Thursday, the 29th, the Cap andl Bells, Mrs” W. P. Buckingham preai-| { dent, will hold a merry tryst with the men ard mai” of ve olden day, and | these clever women know how to sip the fun therefrom. An interesting | coterie is this Cap and Bells Club of | | women—they all do something, and do that something well. Herewith is the | programme: Wit and humor, by mem- bers; ye old time quadrille, given in old tutored in the teachings of that party | think it does. but it is a development of palitical and domestic ideas that will eventually lead to the betterment of universal conditions, and otherwise. ! The announcement that the clever but erratic novelist would talk on “‘scabs” the theater. None seemed disap- pointed, for the speaker's discourse was instructive, although it may not have been strictly in accordance with the views of all of his hearers. He | spoke of the ‘“‘scab” as the result ot certain environments that are not necessarily the outcome of a strike or a movement against the closed shop. The ‘“‘scab” is evolved, according to | London’s ideas, from an overindul- | gence in too many easy coming things !in life and he is bred as naturally as a mosquito in a swamp. He is a social evil springing from the accumulation | of too much wealth and is not con. fined to any particular class of man. | Capital is merely the surplus that Iahnr has not received and labor is| hiefly inntrumenml in creating capltal. To avoid the inevitable results t | too much capitalization, and conse~ ‘quently the inadvertent fostering of | the ‘‘scab,” certain restrictions are Inecessary, and these the Socialist | party is best adapted to provide. Socialism is only in its infancy, yet i s strorlg, and waxes stronger as it is better understood. A thorough un- | derstanding between the factions that combine to make a world is the prin- | ciple of true socialism. The speaker was well received and frequently interrupted by applause. —_——————— A dream of pleasure, the new two ror quarter.size American, $2 75 box 2. poaibismvaiinl-e-a et Some people never tell the truth be- cause they couldn't be believed if they did.
