The residence of MrS. Clara Foltz, more
appropriately called "California's legal
daughter" was a bower of beauty last

decorated with choice flowers and greens,
while the bay-window was hung in deli

enclrclng an Eureka" seal suspended
gracefully III the background.
Inc fair members of the Perlia Law
Club. with their characteristic mortar
boards, were responsible for this unusual
brilliancy. it being the first occasion in the
history of that society that hosptalities
were extended to the members of the legal
profession.
Seymour THOMPSON, editor of the Cali
fornia Law Record, was the guest of honor,
while among the invited guests were
number of San Francisco's leading lights.

those who assisted in its management.

legal aspect of his subject and the laws
which govern it. He was followed by

who was welcomed by the audience with
Chau.auqua welcome, and after a short
address of welcome by the president Mr..

Patrick's day. you know what that is,
Mr.. Keyes. although you are half Yam
kee."
The witness was then put through long
crOss-examination upon the expenses of
the menage. She told how much the house
rent was. how the cook got SO much, the
waters and men servants so much, and
now that $500 month was the average
living expenditure, of which half was
charged 20 Miss Ella Hastings.
Il can't give details" she said. II had
butchers bill suppose. But | kept no
accounts whatever"
Now. Mrs. Catherwood, find that your
house rent and servants cost you 5000 a
month. Did your supply bill come TO the
other S400?"
"Yes; and that's small for house like
mine. IpS not small for Keves. but it's
small for Hastings." was the chilling
reply. 81 kept house for my sisters ben
eft, and l kept her according TO her station
in life. 1t was our fathers wish that l
should do So"
Mr. Keyes. however, took these retorts
with the utmost eomposure he asked
Mrs. Catherwood whether she had not
changed her style of living since her
fathers death.

either. Her food did not change. but her
position was altered"
Then came some further prosy talk
about servants wages, etc, in the different
places of abode affected by Mrs. Gather
wood and her ward. They were now re-
siding at Westchester, n. Y, where Mrs.
Catherwood had taken a handsome resi-
dencs Perhaps you'd like 10 know how
much spend there?" she asked Mr.. keyes.
"Oh, Pm coming to that" was the un-
abashed relort.
The witness stated that they had passed
a month at the Gerlaeh Hotel in New YORK.
They had costly rooms there, costing 500.
Their months expenses amounted 10
$1,000. The party included Mrs. Gather
wood and her ward. Miss Hastings maid
and dame de compagnie." They had
carriage, horses, and other luXuries beht-
ting their lofty station.

you? You're not a married man. are

Have you figured out all these ex-
penses?"
"Yes. sir" impressively.
Have you vouchers for ALP"
"Oh. yes. You go look over your
brothers accounts You'll find his wife
spent just so much"
perhaps MORE" sighed Mr. Keyes.
Il dare say" sarcastically returned Mrs.
Catherwood. Then why keep me down
to 10 cents"
1t was explained that an item of $500
put in the account as funeral expenses
for ward" meant mourning apparel for
Miss Hastings after her fathers death.
Mrs. Catherwood said hers cost great

the ground that Mrs Catherwood had
mingled her own money with that OF her
ward, and had DO vouchers TO show for
her alleged disburse ements. Mr.. Shortridge
moved to dismiss the objections. He
mainta ned that the contestant had no
standing in the matter. He quoted sec
tions from the Civil Code to show that
creditors of an estate might contest an
estate, but such privilege was reserved
10 them and to people actually interested in
the estate. Was Mr.. Keves so interested !?
"The claim of AZalea keyes," be urged,
sis based on the theory that she is a pre-
sumptive heir TO Miss Ella Hastings es-
tate. The question is. has she any inter-
est now. at be present time, which will be
assigned Or otherwise disposed OF? We
claim she has not. We claim that this con-
testant has neither present nor contin-
gent interest"
Quite right. Mr. Shortridge," approved
Mrs. Catherwood from the center of the
courtroom
Baillff White raped for order and Mr..
ShOrtridge proceeded. He moved that the
contestant be regarded as an intermeddler
and an intruder and obtain no hearing
from the court.
Mr.. Keyes repeated his objections and
urged that as relatives might take hand
IN the appointment of a guardian, they
surely had voice in the settlement OF
guardians account
Judge CoHey ruled that any ordinarily
Interested person might so obtain an ex-
animation CT an account aud ordered Mr..
ShortFldge to proceed with its presenta-
ton.
Mrs. Catherwood was then sworn. She
acknowledged that she had been ap-

Mrs. Catherwood stated that her ward
