THE POLITE WORLD

Mrs. John Vosburg was the charming
hostess yesterday afternoon for the Mon
day Musical club, at her home on Fig
ueroa street. Besides the regular enjoy
able program that is always given so satis-
factorily, the club was favored by harp
solo by Mrs. E. C. Gottschalk, which was
rendered in an exquisite manner. Miss
Ethel Mullins added greatly to the pleasure
Of the program by the singing Of Happy
Days and responded to an enthusiastic en-
core. The rest OF the numbers were given
by the regular members of the club, with
the exception of several readings, which
were the feature of the afternoon, by MIR.
Don Won Neumayer, the well,known
actor from New York. Richard
Watson Gilder's How, Paderewski Plays
"Danse Macabie' by Saint Saens, with
descriptive readings by the. talented
speaker. Mr.. Won Nuemayer's subjects
are handled with consummate skill and yet
withal such an ca sy natural grace as to
make his reading devoid of studied art.
He fs delightfully."- free from agey affecta-
tions, and possesses q pleasing voice that
is deep with feeling and is clear and clean
in enuuciation. The innovation of the
reading yesterday was rare treat both to
the club and their guests. Mr.. Won Nne-
mayer has come to Los Angeles to make it
his home, and it is with pleasure that his
friends welcome him to the c y as he will
be charming acquisition both to literary
and social circles.

Sunday School Ent ertainment
The Sunday school of the First Presby-
terian church celebrated their Christmas
festivities last night in the new chapel on
Flgueroa street. The usual Christmas
tree was dispensed with, but very real
istic Santa Claus called out each child's q
name and presented them with bags of
candy, and in turn the children contributed
presents to be distributed between tho
Macy street mission school and the Wat
son home. There were songs by the infant
class in Charge Of Mrs. Moody, and Miss
Stone with one Of the little girls rscited
Christmas legend in q charming manner.
Mr.. Howard made some very happy re.
marks and one of tho very pretty features
of the evening was the filling in Of an arch
by letters which formed when compile ed
the words "Christ 10 born today" As the
children handed the large letters up each
recited a verse from the Bible commenc.
ing with the letter they held. After the
formalities OF the evening were over the
children indulged in games.
There is this advantage in the use OF
Royal Baking Powder over all others; ii
