have disclosed the sweet secret of their
engagement. The chaps who have won
them-or any Sunshine maid-are
mighty lucky.

The Forum Club, Mrs Frank Fred
ericks president, is still agog over its
smart function of last Wednesday. And
well may the members congratulate
| themselves upon their nationality in not
infiicting a programme upon their de-
fenseless guests-a thing devoutly to be
sued for elsewhere, not only in club
dom, but in society as well. 1t is the
only hope for the English tongue. The
set programme has almost excluded
| conversation from polite circles-fxed
programmes and cards. Then let the
Forums precedent be writ in the book
Of good examples. and oft be quoted.
The Forum presents the following in
! teresting programme for the current
| month:
Wednesday, December Z, 2 D. m.-Cur-
rent topic day, subject. "Chirography,
| With Demonstrations" Leader, Mrs
| F. NJ Wright.
! Wednesday, December IA, 2:9O D. NJ
Lecture, William Morris, Artist Poet
and Socialist" Miss Anna Strunslxy;
vocal selections, Anon c. Cain.
Wednesday, December q, 2:sO D. m.-
| Current topic day, debate, Resolved
That the so-called yellow peril is a
myth" Leader, Mrs. F. NJ. Wright.
Wednesday, December 2S, s to IL d.
m.-Club jinks, given by the president.
After 10:30 D. m. gentlemen will be ad-
mitted.
Now, that links" promises to be a

men are led to believe If the men are
good they will be let in to take a peek
at jinks Of the feminine gender. Truth
to tell, I've never seen one, but the
Papyrus Club held one last year TO
which the men were hidden, and loud
and long were the praises sung by the
men folk of this feast of song and
story There was beer and skittIes
frankfurters and pumpernickel-just
the kind mems jinks provide, a differ
ence perhaps arising in the quantity
rather than the type of refreshment.
The subject of school gardens. as
well as flowers and lawns, for all pub
| lie buildings, where ground space per-
mits, is receiving renewed attention
from the Outdoor Art League The
members feel gratified with the out
I door Improvement at the Phelan
branch library on Fourth and Clara
streets and in front of branch No. 6
on Sacramento street, near Webster.
/ These improvements were made possi-
bic through the assistance of Superin-
tendent MeLaren of Golden Gate Park.
Flowers from the same source were
furnished the Rincon and Lafayette
grammar schools. and the cultivation
il the yards of these two buildings has
proved so successful that similar work
| will be given to other schoolyards.
The league has had this particular
work in hand for over two years and
the members are gratified to know that
| it has so broadened out that other
cities of the country are now being
| benefited along the same line
The American Civic Association of
Philadelphia has advised the Outdoor

has been begun, having for its object
not only the adornment of schoolyards,
but the instruction Of school children
in caring for the flowers and in gar
