After the coffee, a general discussion of” the music and folk-lore of Wales will be led by Mrs. H. Isasc Jones. Just how the women will get round the Welsh names—and so soon after lunching —is a problem. However, this is one of e instances where the agility of the | feminine tongue is a boon The programme for the rest month is as follows: Wednesday, March 14, 2:30 p. m. sharp, | talk, “Local Artists and Studios” by Laura Bride Powers; Wednesday, March by of g in a dashing, of the 21, 2:30 p. m. sharp, current topic day, leader, Mrs. H.

STRONG AS STEEL The Kind of Nerves That Cam Do Things. A young athlete writes concernin the method by which he acquire steady rerves, and also of some good missionary work he bhas done: ‘About a year ago,” he says, “my perves began to grow unsteady and I found myself troubled with sleepless- ness. 1 set an Inquiry on foot, and be- came convinced that the coffee I drank was the cause of the trouble and de- termined to quit it right there. “So 1 got a package of Postum Food Coffee and motner 2nd I prepared it We 4id not boil it long enough the first time and were not much impressed by it. The second tine, however, we fol- lowed the directions carefully and were more than pl=ased with the resuit. “1 can sicep like a log mow, since I am using PosStum. my nerves are as stropg as steel, and my muscles, which used to tive easily, are hard and endur- ing as iron. Heavy athletics no longer give me pain in the #ide and chest as erly. ro‘r'rlnhn('e prought our whole family to use it, and ii has done every one of thera good.

But there seems to be no one willing to take the gavel from the hands of Mrs. Fredericks, who has wielded it so ad- vantageously for the club. And it just possible that the gifted little woman will be induced to take the chair again. Every woman who thinks she is as most of us believe we are—should meet at Golden Gate Hall on Wednesday aft- ernoon at 3. At that hour the Equal Suffrage League of interest—since all sincere, vital re-} forms are of interest because t are | vital. And this reform is vital—this strug- gle for the repeal of the disability of sex, the most illogical and manifestly unfair enactment of any government of modern times; and a living, irony upon the al- leged freedom of a republic that sprang “taxation without from the injustice of representation.” 1t you think man Being as your husl 3 er, your son, or your friend, then drop in at Wedr _sday’s meeting, for every unit adds energy to ti»: cause. nd energy will be needed to move the great, unthinking m of men to see the absurdity of their position in the matter. The thinking men are all right—they are with women in the | righting of this great civic wrong. It's the unthinking that must be halted and made to face the proposition upon the basis of logic and justice. . e On March 8 the music section of the Laurel Hali Club will present a worth- while programme, under the leadership | of Mme. Emelie Tojetti. “The Hymn to the Virgin” (Stabat Mater) will be given, with interpretations. On April 12 ““Cradle Songs From Many Lands” will constitute the programme.

The St, Vincent de Paul Society held its regular quarterly meetiig in the class rooms of St. Bridget's convent school, corner of Broadway and Van Ness ave- nue, yesterday afternoon, at which time much business of importance came be- fore the meeting. The secretary’s report showed only ten parishes on the active rolis of tke society, which was comment- ed upon by Archbishop Montgomery, who believed the number too small for the city and volunteered his services to see what can be done to induce other par- ishes to become more interested in char- ity work. The Archbishop said he believed there should be a conference in every parish in the city, for in every ome there were al- ways some poor who needed the help of the soclety. He volunteered his services to see whnat could be done to get other parishes interested In the work, and sald he would make it his epecial mission Smith; “The Employment of Prisoners,” William Alvord Gates, secretary of the State Board of Charities and Correc- tions.

A,, held its eleventh annual entertainment and ball in Golden Gate Hall last even- ing. A nicely arranged musical pro- gramme was rendered. after which dancing continued until midnight.

LITTLE [TALY SEEN IN MASK Thousands of Gayly Dressed People Meet to Celebrate the Carnival of Lucea BALL MAIN ATTRACTION Fisherman in Mussel-Shell Costume Dances With the Girl Dressed in Tights The carnival spirit prevalled in that por- tion of North Beach district known as “Little Italy” last night, when thousands of masked figures were seen on the streets cutting up all kinds of carnival capers and playing innocent jokes upon their masked neighbor. The occasion was the opening of the carnival of Luecca, which is one of the largest festival days in that district of Italy and which, through spe- cial dispensation of the Pope, is held on the first Sunday of Lent. The bulk of the crowd gathered at the ball given by the Bersaglieri Building and Loan Association in Washington Square Hall, where many novel and original cos- tumes could be seen. The fisnerman in his mussel shell costume was seen danc- ing with the girl in tights, while the man in the tar and feather suit danced merrily with the little milkmaid, with her dress cut low above and high below. Between the dance a football eleven or a band of Indians would rush into the center of the hall and catching some mas- querader would toss him up in a blanket until his mask would finally fly in one di- rection and parts of his costume in an- other, They would then disappear as mys- teriously as they had come, leaving the masquerader to gather up his belongings as best he could before the next dance was called and escape from the floor be- fore he was mashed by the great crowd of dancers, which was too large to pay any attentlon to the unfortunate one. With all the “rough house,” every one seemed good-natured, and the one who happened to be the victim smiled and waited his chanece to get even on some one else. Although there were several police- men in the hall, they had no occasion to show their authority, and the dance con- tinued until morning in the same happy PERSONAL. W. Gordon of London is at the St. Francis. Thoma Clark, a mining man of Placerville, is at the Grand. George C. Stewart, a prominent busi- ness man of Fresno, is at the Palace. H. D.

EINTRACHT TURNERS HONOR OLD COMRADE Athletic Organization Gives Testimonial Benefit to Caspar Ellenberger. Members of the Eintracht Turn Section and their friends gathered in large num- bers last night at Eintracht Hall to swell the fund that will be turned over to Cas- par Ellenberger as a testimonial of his many friends in the athletic organization. Mr. Ellenberger, who is one of the oldest athletes on thé Pacific Coast, has for many years been the keystone of the pyramid team of the turn section because of his immense size and strength. Re- cently, however, he suffered a severe in- jury to his head and has retired from athletics forever. The large hall on Twelfth street was crowded and a substantial sum will be a token of the appreciation of Mr. Ellen- berger's friends. The entertainment con- sisted principally of athletic turns, and was followed by dancing and refresh- ments. . After an overture by Professor Hoge's orchestra the actives of the San Fran- cisco Turn Verein gave a horizontal bar exhibition, followed by clever juggling by Master Lester Bodie of the Olympic Club. A song was given by the Eintracht sing- ing section, and ladder pyramids under colored lights by the actives of the Mis- sion Turn Verein received hearty ap- plause. John Hermann then delivered an ad- dress in German and presented Mr. Ellen- berger with a silver mounted cane, deco- rated with ribbons of the turn section col- ors, and the former athletic leader re- sponded. The remainder of the programme com- prised a song by two little girls, Camille and Adele Steinbeck, admirably done; tumbling by members of the Olympic Club, parallel bar work by the united se- nior classes, and ending with elaborately planned and skillfully executed pyramids by the Eintracht Turn section. —_———e—————— At Wedding Time Many questions arise as to the proper style of engreving.
