Wednesdays meeting. wouldn't it be
well for the members ito hustle a lit
tie and present a worthy showing,
when a busy man like Professor Mead
takes time to talk to them? And it
won't be a dry talk.
The Laurel Hall Club has been hug
ging itself since its last meeting-and
small wonder-for on that day was it
treated to a feast histrionic.
The programme announced various
readings by Mrs. Newton ]. Tharp and
some illustrative dances by Miss
Jean Logan.
If there was a vagrant thought in
the clubroom during Mrs. Tharp's
readings, no face betrayed it, Simple
coy and winsome in Jennie" she was
strong, convincing and appealing in
the court scene Of Richard villa
part, by the way, prepared for the tall
ented little woman by Professor Walter
Bradley Tripp of Boston.
Then, Jean Logan, exponent of
artistry in posing and dancing, gowned
first as Gretchen and then as a Greek
dances, and with recitative accompani-
ments.
And thus over the teacups was there
much of beauty to discuss.
The Papyrus Club, Mrs. S. Mason
Kinne president, begins it's club year
with its usual ebullition of good fell

The club held its first social meet

new and bright stories, which were eX-
ceedingly enjoyed. The club entertained
as its guest Mrs. Z. l.. Pilsbury, wife
of E. L. Pilsbury of Massachusetts,
grand guardian of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge of the /. o. O. +. Mrs. PilSbury
is a member of a Boston club and is
musician of high standing, having sung
for a number of years with Madame
Emma Eames in a church choir. a
delightful afternoon was spent after
the programme in chatting with the
guest of the day-and with each other
while partaking of light refresh

prevailing "bonhomie" In the club is
its distinctive feature.
At the meeting of the Outdoor Art
League on Thursday last it was decided
to give an entertainment on October
Il, the proceeds to be devoted to the
work of the league in furthering sew
eral important municipal improvements
and other projects Of city and State
interest. One of the chief objects in
view is a renewal of the attempt to
improve Telegraph Hill by the issuance
of municipal bonds. The contest for
the preservation of the CalaVeras big
trees viii also be renewed as soon as
Congress convenes, and for these pur-
poses there will necessarily be some eX-

to give the league a liberal percentage
of the receipts on the date selected. The
play Will be THE American Citizen

Angeles on the 9Th and 7th, were bal
loted for and Mrs. Lillian Coffin. Mrs
Margaret Wheelan and Mrs. Claire O.
Southard were elected. During the
meeting a letter was read from Mrs.
Bidwell of Chico, asking that the ladies
interest themselves in the matter of
shade protection along country roads,
directing attention to the fact that
beautiful trees are ruthlessly sacrificed
in the building of new roads. These,
il left undisturbed, would yield shell
ter and comfort to man and beast.
Capital idea!
A mighty interesting convention will
be that of the suffragists on the 9th and
7th in the southland. And who knows
what may be the outgrowth of this ag-
gregation of intelligent women seeking
their rights? With President Roosevelt
as a strong ally their cause looks bright
