DU MAuRIER AND BLACK HOSIERY

George Du Maurier's death cannot be
spoken Of as a loss to art, because later
artists have learned all that he could
teach them and have gone far beyond
him in technique. He was the first artist
to depict without exaggeration the
comic side Of London society. He put
la comedie humane upon the stage, not a
burlesQue. His personages were por-
traits, not caricatures. So accurate were
they in dress and bearing and habit Of
thought that people over anxious to
do "the right thing followed them like
fashion plates. It used to be said that
no one but Du Maurier could rightly
put gentleman in evening dress. Black
hosiery came into fashion because he
represented the dark blue and dark

TWO SMALL FIRES
Careless Smokers Set Waste Paper on
Fire in the Bryson Block

Two small fires occurred in the Bry-
son block yesterday, neither one doing
much damage. Between and 10 o'clock
in the morning the waste paper in bas-
ket on the floor of the office of Slauson
& Variel, room 81, caught fire, but was
extinguished with little difficulty.
Again in the afternoon a blaze was dis
covered, between 3 and 4 o'clock, in a
box of waste paper standing in toilet
room. The box was used by the janitor
to dump the contents of waste baskets
into, and the contents probably be-
came ignited through some careless per-
son throwing cigar, cigarette or light
ed match into it.
AS there was a suspicion Of incendi-
arism. police detective was detailed
to look into the matter, but after an in
vestigation concluded that both fires
had started through the careleasness of
smokers.

A WEDDING ANNIVERsARY.

One of the most enjoyable social
events of the season was the surprise
party rendered to Mr.. and Mrs. F. w.
Ross at their home on Eighteenth street
last Monday evening. The occasion was
the fifteenth anniversary of their we'd
ding, and their many friends gathered
at the home of mutual friends and pro-
ceeded to carry the castle of the clan Of
Ross by storm. The evening was spent
in dancing. The program of the evening
comprised dancing for the young people,
games for the more sedate and music
for all. Messrs Harry E. Pratt Of San
Francisco and Thomas S. Katts of our
own city divided the honors as enter
tainers about equally. Mr~SSatt con-
tributed the literary part or the pro-
gram and proved himself possessed of
marked dramatic ability and rare ver-
satility, while Mr.. Katts' rendering of
familiar ballads brought to all hearts
memories Of childhood's days. At mid
night a supper was served that rivaled
the feasts of Lucullus, and many toasts
were drank to the good host and hostess

UPRIGHT WOMEN OF AN EARLIER

"Down beds. soft pillows and easy
Seats" wrote the beautiful Lady Elizn-
beth Berkeley, afterward Margravine
of Anspach, ''are a species of luxury
in which have never INDUCED, because
they tend to enervate the body and rem

women of today take different train
ing, and think themselves not untitled
for fatigue by a resigned posture in an
armchair; but it is not uninteresting to
find discipline in practice in another
manner. The mother of Sir Walter
Scott was happy to say that she had
never In her life allowed her shoulders
not a traveller, horsewoman, an ac-

In the skull was bullet hole and one OF

IN SOCIETY
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The current of society's whirl is large
ly turned from the engrossing topics Of
feminine frills to the tide of public af-
fairs. Everywhere the excitement is in
the air and it may safely be stated that
at no time in the history of Los Angeles
has woman's attention been so COM
pletely absorbed in the study of all
things political to the exclusion of fash
ion, society and all that pertains thereto.
Drawing room chat centers about
sound money" free silver" and 'wo-
man suffrage" and the coming events
of receptions, balls and even weddings
will, largely ,repose upon the shelf until
"after the election"
The ladies of the Pine Tree associa-
tion are in ferment over the Hon. T. B.
Reeds reception. 1t is the height of
their ambition to go in tally-hos to meet
him. In the event that there will not
be enough tally-hos to go round that
day, they will let their energies bubble
out in the reception that will take place
at the Nadeau hotel.
Another clique of Los Angeles society
is particularly interested in the coming
reception at the Stimson Lafayette In
dustrial school down in the vicinity of
First and Alameda streets that will take
place all day Friday. This building, in
a completed state, has looked out grand
ly and imposingly on the surrounding
streets for about two weeks and will be
formally opened on Friday. On that day
the different departments of the school
will be in full session. the kindergarten
under the tutelage of Mrs. E. s. Reed
and Mrs Ella Clark in the morning and
the cooking and sewing classes superin-
tended by Mrs. M. E. Voorhees, in the
afternoon. Miss Voorhees, is a very tall
onted young lady aside from her accom-
plishments in the cooking line. She re-
ceived her education in this branch of
the housewives domains in the Moody
Training school in Northfiedl, Mass. In
the evening of the reception day the
Mothers club will be in session and a
program of entertainment is in prepar-
alton by the educational committee of
the association. The benefactors of the
association in particular and the public
in general are given a cordial and most
pressing invitation to attend. All will
find there a commodious and even beau
tiful building and the nucleus of what
will be an important work in Los An
geles in extending to the young men
and women of the city an opportunity Of
thoroughly learning some branch of in
dustry to fit them for life's work. The
following ladies will receive: Mines.
