Mrs. Hiram Garrett has just been to
the Bay City on a visit to her son
Frank Wratten of that city.
The Sullivans of Third and P streets,
who have so long occupied the Scudder
residence, are soon to remove to the
metropolis. What a pity it is that so
many of our fine old residences are
standing so long un0ccupied. There is
the old Stanford mansion on Eighth
and N streets, solitary and alone in its
splendor, with no one to share its lone
illness but the housekeeper and gard
ener, although it was rumored that
Mrs Stanford did intend to spend few
weeks there this summer. The Crocker
home on Ninth and f, although beaut-
fully cared for and an ornament to the
city with its flower beds and wide
spreading green lawns, seldom echoes
football in it's hgh-ceiled rooms and
long corridors Mrs. Margaret Crock
er's home on Third and o is given over
to the care of servants, and now the
Scudder mansion. adjoining, is also to
be tenantless. There are many in our
midst who viii remember when in all
these beautiful residences the sound of
laughter echoed long and frequently,
lights often shone from cellar to gar
ret. While the sound of viol and violin
made melody to which the then young
people of our city tripped the light
fantastic toe till the gray dawn began
TO show itself Fred, George and Will
Crocker gave many an entertainment of
this character at their fathers home on
F street that though now a thing of
the past, fingers pleasantly in the mem
cries of many a dignified matron and
staid business man of to-day.
Where is now the merry party
/ remember long ago?
Far away"
Most of them are scattered; many
only about our own Golden State; others
as far as the old world; others even
to the land from which there is no re-
turning-Minnie Cary, Goodwin and
Midgie Mcneil among some of the most
favored. All, me! what changes a gen
GRAFTON or two bring forth-and you
and I-where will we be, and what
changes will we behold during the ma
turity of this rising generation?
On Tuesday evening next the
Daughters of the King of st. PAUL 5
Church will hold lawn party on the
spacious grounds surrounding the res
| idence of the Rev. c. L. Mel, on the
corner of Eleventh and T streets. No
admittance fee is to be charged, but
| the charitably inclined will have ample
opportunity to spend any loose coin

fortune teller of unusual gift of proph-
| ecy will also be on hand to unveil the
! future to the eyes of those curious to
learn their destiny. Your past, pres
| ent. future with names and a true
sketch or description of your fate will

| gramme has been prepared but it is
/
ening of the entertainment arrives. It
! is hoped that there win be a good at
! tendance as the proceeds will be used
| to assist the poor and needy of what
ever religion they may be whenever
they are found worthy. The ladies
of this order have already done a sur
prising amount Of good in our city. and
although it is not generally known,
/ they have taken care of many q poor
/ family who We're in dire distress for
want of the bare necessities of life.
! There are still others whose wants
| these good women have not money
enough to relieve, and it is hoped that
| this entertainment viii supply a little
at least of the needful to work with
! The cause is one for which aid should
never be vainly asked Mr.. Miel's gar
den is an ideal spot for lawn party.
and the entertainment at least is
! bound to be a rousing success.
Miss Mary Lewis, Miss Ida Clinch,
Mr. Lester, Mrs. F. ~ Jones, and Miss
| Florence Rogers are among the En-
| deavorers at the international conven-
! ton at San Francisco.
! Apropos of this convention there is
more red tape concerned in its workings
| than would be found in the manage
ment of one of our Legislatures. A

one OF the Directors sought entrance
one day at the front door. Go round

aide. mo one viii be admitted with
out having registered" Round to the
back door she went which meant a
block and a half OF jostling through
a crowd Of Endeavorers. Here the
crowd was denser and more excited
than anywhere else. Everybody ell
bowed and jostled his neighbor in the
effort to get to the big door where
three white-capped ushers were trying
