many affairs have been given in their
honor, and especially for Miss Bacon
the chic and fascinating fancee of

many other events have been planned
for the bride, and recently tea was
given by Miss Virginia Jolliffe.
1t is a unanimous sentiment among
those who have met Miss Bacon that
she is not merely charming but viva

and original. The rarity alone of
these traits makes them enviable.
Mrs. James Robinson and Miss
Elene Robinson gave a dinner last
evening to Miss Marjorie Josselyn.
Twelve young people were asked
and with informality the keynote there
was pleasure unbounded and absolute.
The housewarming given yesterday
by Miss Florence Smith and her
mother proved all that was expected.
The new home Is situated on Vallejo
street, near the Presidio, commanding
view of the surrounding waters.
Besides the pleasure of congenial
gatherings there is much fun peeping
into rooms, new, fresh and constructed
for convenience and comfort
By the way, housewarming is be-
coming both prevalent and fashion
able. and. without a doubt, several
will be on the schedule for this winter
Many callers honored the young
hostess yesterday and those who as
sisted in making pleasant the after
noon were Mrs. Hunter Harrison, Mrs
Thomas Benton Darragh, Mrs. Ferdi-

Mrs Addison Starr Keeler, Miss Ger

every day his curiosity increased, this

He was walking on the college cam
pus one afternoon, meditating with
much satisfaction on the fact that he
had at last gathered courage to beg
his anonymous friend to disclose her
identity and let him call the next time
he went to the city. The professor
was a shy man and had found it re-
quired all the nerve he possessed to
make this request. He was thinking
it could not be many days before he
received an answer, when he noticed
Ruth Payne walking in front of him,
poring over a book in the manner of a
schoolgirl who goes up for examina-
tion the next day.
A tiny green snake ran across the
path and the professor caught the
girl in his arms as she screamed and
reeled toward him.
While he stood gazing helplessly at
her white face, other girls rushed to
his assistance.

tunatc dupcs to the civil power, while
they themselves will try to escape,
leaving the laborer in the lurch. An
illustration in point: The Paris Com
munc, the most nearly successful So
cialistic attempt in our day, was the
tool of the Grand Orient of France,
which openly received the Communists
in solemn session. After the restor:l-
tion of ordcr these unfortunate dupcs
were, by this same Grand Orient, not
only abandoned, but actually betrayed,
and some 10000 of them were either
killed or condemned to penal servitude
for life. But we need not go SO far.
Idaho Springs and Globevillc, Cripple
Creek and Telluride, can furnish you
with other illustrations.
IF these are the fruits produced by
Socialism, you will have to agree with
me that the tree is rotten. Now, we
! know for fact that it has never
given any other kind of fruit. How
could it be otherwise? Socialism de-
MES the existence of God; the crca-
ton OF man, whom, with Darwin, it
procaims to be merely a more perfect
ape, with no more responsibility, nor
any higher understanding than the
brute; it denies the retention of
Christ, whom it holds to have been a
mere man, an impOster, who worked
upon the credulity of supplemented
people, proclaiming Himself the Son
of God, and who, therefore, deserved
to he crucified; it hates the Church
and her ministers with all the hatred
| it's satanic heart is capable of; n
hatred which it never failed to evincc
when the occasion for doing so sue
ccssfully presented itself. 1t denies
mans future destiny and procaims
the Catholic doctrine of any hereafter
to be mere inventions Of designing
men, who, for personal motives, resort
to such doctrines as heaven and a
hell to lure the ignorant and brighten
rebels into submission to their ex-
ploitatiOns. 1t protests that man
must create his heaven on earth by
means, right or wrong, that might in
sure success.
a MAD DREAM OF PLEASURE.
"When we go the bottom of So
cialism here is what we find: A mad
dream Of pleasure and earthly happi-
ness, focused in it's still more mad
earthly paradise, wherein all men will
be perfectly happy; a wild rush for
wealth, the only means capable of pro-
curing this happiness, and a desperate
conspiracy to overthrow the existing
order Of society by the wholesale con-
fiscation Of all personal property, and
all the means Of production, in the in
tcrcst of the Socialistic state. Social
ism is sworn to accomplish this, even
though the realization of its program
were to involve the ruin Of society.
We have shown all this in our course
Of instruction on Socialism. On this
point it stands Numerically in oppo-
|! sition to Christianity, which, backed

to acquire a right, full and real, not
only to the remuneration, but also to
the disposal of such remuneration, just
as he pleases. Thus, if he lives spar
ingly, saves money, and, for greater
security, invests his savings i'll land,
the land, in such case, is only his
wages under another form; and, con-
sequently, working mans little
estate thus purchased should be as
completely at his full disposal as are
the wages he receives for his labor.
But it is precisely in such power of
disposal that ownership obtains,
whether the property consists Of lands
or cllattels. Socialists, therefore, by
endeavoring to transfer the possessions
of individuals to the community at
large, strike at the interests of every
wage Garner, since they would deprive
him of liberty of disposing of his
wages, and thereby of all hope and
possibility of increasing his stock and
of lettering his condition in life.'
On the same subject of Socialism
Bishop Matz of Denver, Colorado,
says:
Cali men know to-day that Christ
consecrated labor by the touch of his
divine hands; that the blessings He
bestowed upon it conjured the curse
of paradise aggravated by mans eX-
ploitations: that the words of the
Apostle: "There is (now) neither bond
nor free, for you are all one in Jesus
Christ" caused the chains to fall from
the hands of the laboring classes and
that labor owes to Christianity not
only it's liberty, but it's present state
of prosperity. However, notwithstand-
] ing all this, and against the evidence
Of facts, Socialism, urged on by its
satanic hatred Of Christianity, points
to the Church as the pronounced enc
my of labor; the staunch friend Of cap
italism, and the strongest supporter of
the government with it's henchmen,
the militia. Wherefore, it has de-
clared war Of determination against
the Church, and will not desist from
it's purpose though it perish in the
attempt.
PURPOSE OF THE END.
"For the accomplishment Of this
end, Socialism poses as the chivalrous
champion of the laborer, whose cause
it appears to espouse, and offers to de.
fend with the last drop Of its blood
The baseness and hypocricy Of this as.
sumption we shall expose presently.
Socialism knows the power Of num-
hers and the effectiveness Of organiza-
ton; it knows that it can never accom-
plish it's purpose-the social revolu-
ton it is DISQUALIFICATION the
arm of the laborer, whose pride it
fatters, and whose covetousness it
aims to arouse by pointing to the
! wealth Of capitalism. Wherefore, it
is harping constantly upon his misery,
which, by the most Ubiquitous means,

ing strikes and reducing the laborer
