Miss Maud Dalton attained her -
birthday last Friday, and to clothe
her celebration of the event with
proper eclat she enlisted the aid of
Miss Violet Wood, than whom there is
not a more competent planner and
director of attractive functions among
the entire smart set of Barbary Coast
society. The two ladies put their
heads together and after considering
and rejecting number of novel ideas
finally decided upon the time-honored
dance and supper as the form of en-
tertainment that would be most likely
to find favor with the greatest num-
ber of their friends. But as time did
not allow of notification of these
friends by letter. Miss Dalton and Miss
Wood salliAd forth afoot to deliver the
invitations Verbally. The task necessi-
tated their visiting several places
wherein alcoholic stimulants were dis
pensed, and to that fact may be at
tributed the failure of the proposed
birthday party to eventuate. Miss
Dalton and Miss Wood were arrested
for disorderly conduct on Pacific
street, their specific offense being the
jostling of all persons, irrespective of
sex, who attempted to pass them on
the sidewalk. They had cast into the
gutter quite a number of the most
prominent residents of the district ere
the policeman stopped their fun.
