The San Francisco call., 1901-11-03

home is a typical home of the south
roomy, spreading. with plenty of lawn,
plenty of piazzas; above all. plenty of
hospitality
The Burdettes are Californians in the
proverbial sense of the word. They believe
that their house is for the purpose of ELI
tertaining friends. They eat less than half
their dinners alone and the entertainments
they give are known for their lavishness.
"Bob" furnishes good wit for the feast and
his wifes tact keeps the wheels of the
entertainment running smoothly.
With all this life as hostess she has
found time to start work and keep it go
ing among her own sex. The public
school reform has been one that has in
terested her and she has worked diligent-
ly to drive politics out of the system aud
to arouse the. desire for higher standards
of instruction. Another of her lines of
work has been for preserving the forests
of this State.
Sine said once in an address: ''The wom-
en- of New Jersey are saving the Palisades
of the Hudson from destruction by men,
to whose greedy souls Mount Sinai is only
stone quarry; the women of Colorado
The San Francisco call., 1901-11-03

are saving their cliff dwellings and pueb-
10 ruins; here in California we must pre-
serve our forests from men whose souls
are gangsaws."
Nor is she sentimentalist on the sub
ject, but a strictly practical, scientific
thinker At that time she pointed out the
reason for saving the forests on account
of the water supply guarded by their
shades She was one of the foremost in
promo ting the work that has since been
carried out
Another of her watchwords is, pref
ormation is better than reformation"
LET us keep out vice. she warns her
hearers again and again, California has
not yet become infected with slums sucn
as the Eastern cities know. Let us keep
out sums instead of trying to drive them
In appearance Mrs Burdette is the last
woman of whom you would expect radical
and vigorous views. She is small. gentle
in manner, having a soft voice that with
a face that shows more sweet good tenn
per than strenuousness She is rather
round-faced, in fact and extremely rosy.
There is something in her smile that Is
almost childlike and absurdly in contrast
with the. proverbial expression of the
''club woman"
She is not eccentric in dress She is
blessed with good plenty of money, with
which she buys expensive gowns when
she goes East or to Europe, and the wom-
en- of Southern California have come to
look for the latest styles from Mrs. Bur-
dette, as if she belonged to the social
whirl or to the stage. Think of looking
for Paris fashions from a club woman!
She has not a striking personal appear
ance, and although she Is good speaker
and an earnest one she has won out by
means of something else. 1t is her tact.
This tact is what makes her good host
ess and a good presiding officer. She Is
satisfactory, more than that, upon the
platform in her official capacity; but the
truth is that her real power shows itself
when she leaves the chair, descends from
the platform and drinks afternoon tea
with the club members as an excuse for
"heart-to-hearts."
The people who think that club life un-
fits a woman for romance will find them
selves up against serious obstacle when
they confront her pretty little story. The
most romantic kind of a romance is told
of her and "Bob" Burdette-how they
loved when they were very young and
very poor, and the latter adjective was
what enforced their separation. After
they had drifted they each married some-
body else, but it seems that the first love
was not dead; for years later when the
wldower, a successful man, was carried
by fate across the path of the wealthy
widow they had their courtship all over
again, and the result is an Areadian exist
tence in Pasadena.
The San Francisco call., 1901-11-03

When a wife can make a cruz
woman out of man it shows what sne
can accomplish Mrs. Burdette has PROB
ably been instrumental in making as many
club women as any one in the state Oh
California, and when she and MI Bur
dette joined hands they also Joined forces
and have been clubbing it, jointly ever
since.
The first thing accomplished after both
of them set TO work in this partnership
was her election to the State presidency
California clubs decided, after much ar
gument, to federate; having federated
they decided to elect Mrs. Burdette to be
their president
That happened in 1900, Up to that time
she had been identified chiefly with the
Ebell Club of Los Angeles.
Her home has for a long time been i'm
Pasadena, one of the Orange Grove aY-
enue homes that are counted very nice to
live in. AS Pasadena is hardly large
The San Francisco call., 1901-11-03

enough to be energetic in the matter of
woman's clubs, Mrs. Burdette drifted into
the work in the big sister town and the
Ebell claimed her.
In the Ebell she used her influence to-
ward the same ends that she is working
for now as State president. Among club
women she stands out noticeably as a
champion of the home life. They all do
this in their words, but Mrs Burdette
shows by her life that she means it. Her
home is a great deal more to her than her
club.
"Club life for women is an evolution
and has not reached its highest type" she
says. "Ten years ago the evolution was
represented by 'self-culture'; then culture
of self through culture of neighbor; then
culture through service. There was once
danger of woman's training her head at
the cost Of her heart, but that danger
seems now to be past No work is good
that does not emanate from the home, in
it's results return to the home, and Il must
be always secondary to the home"
This is the keynote of her teachings ana
she not only teaches but follows her own
instructions like the good divine. Her

 The repast finished, toasts were in or der. Frank A Whitcomb. Charles o. Marsh and others responded on behalf of their fraternity. MT Marsh dwelt upon the fact that he had been a close follower of Dr Curtiss during the past eight years and yet the doctor had fail ed to use him just right as he had not derived very extensive trade from the doctors practice (Mr Marsh is the un dertaker) From the northern end of the town on behalf of the F. <. A. NJ. William Ovistt, George W. Cochrane, and a number of others responded, all paying tribute to the efficiency mani tested by Dr Curtiss in his profession al and fraternal life.

 The NEWS desired to publish a sketch of Hyman Jacobs, who died the 9th inst, but has been able to glean only the following points in regard to his life: Hymen Jacobs was born on the "Moon place." so called, at We. togue in the town of Salisbury, August Is, 1916. His brothers were the late Fitch, Samuel, and Pepoon Jacobs. His sister, Mrs Martin K. Belden, still resides here in Canaan. Hyman Jacobs lived in the town of Salisbury about fifty years. Farming was his occupa- ton and he had worked on the Russell farms in Wetogue and for number oi years was in the employ of the late George Cofing at Salisbury centre. With his brother Pepoon and sister Caroline he came to Canaan about 3s years ago and the family purchased the farm on Elm street now occupied bJ Mir and Mrs M. K. Belden. He was { faithful and industrious man, of a kind but retiring disposition, of rugged honesty and sterling qualities and re spected by all who knew him. Ht outlived all the family except Mrs Bel den and her son, M. K. Belden, Jr His other surviving relatives are his tw' cousins.
