The Outdoor Art League has decided
to extend its work for the encourage
ment of window gardening, seed plant
ing and the planting of shrubs and
flowers in vacant lots. In furtherance
Of this plan it has enlisted the aid of
the College Settlement. This organiza-
ton has promised to engage actively In
this work, particularly in the southern
part of the city.
The $4,000 which the Board of Super
visors recently appropriated for the
Improvement Of Dolores street, between
Fifteenth and Seventeenth, one block
on each side Of the Mission Dolores, is
now available, and the committee of
the league having this work in charge
hopes soon to have the plan for the
adornment of the surroundings Of the
old mission completed.
The members of the league have been
actively engaged during the last ten
days in preparations for the benefit
performance at the Majestic Theater,
on October II. The chief feature of the
performance will be the Japanese
Nightingale" and the sale of boxes and
seats is so satisfactory that handsome
return seems already assured. The
league has taken the house for the oc-
casiOn and a representative audience
viii be in attendance.
The contemporary Club will hold an
open meeting to-day at Utopia Hall,
where Professor Ira B. Mead, Commits
sioner of Irrigation from Washing
ton and instructor in irrigation at the
University of California, will give an
illustrated lecture on the subject of ir-
rigation. A delightful afternoon is an
ticipated by the friends and members
Of the club, as Professor Mead has a
fine collection of stereopticon views on
the subject. An excellent musical en-
tertainment has been arranged by the
programme committee, in which Miss
Austin and Miss Robinson will render
both vocal and instrumental selections.
To-day the Philomath Club will hear
Miss Anna Strunsky on "Kuropatkin."
Now, who is there in town better fitted
to give clubwomen a more interesting
view of this Russian leader than the
charming young Russian? a rare treat,
ladies.
Bravai The United Daughters of the

instruction. A piano solo by Mrs. A.
Roy Lyon and a mandolin solo by DR..
