One OF the most interesting phases
Of the development Of public Journals
in the past twenty years has been the growth
of feeling of the daily, almost hourly
necessity OF attacking something or some
body. Formerly newspapers were content
to commend or condemn, as they deemed
fitting. known acts Of public servants and
occasionally OF private individuals. Now
the first duty Of a managing editor Is, as
the phrase goes, TO have Il good fight on.
II nothing appears 10 the naked eye worthy
Of and demanding attack. he personally,
or through his organization OF sleuths,
must find something or somebody.
In this city at the present time is a keener
development of this theory than ever be-
fore. Every newspaper I think, without
exception, now has something serious
wei Ching upon its mind. and is engaged
in a savage battle all its own. One has
the beef trust; another the gas business.
third the iniquities of the East Side. a
fourth In broader sense the Federal Adj
ministration; and last. though not least,
a perpetual snarl at all things in general.
When all else fails. when the field has been
scraped in vain for sornething-it matters
little what, from an international iniouity
TO local windmill-that will Justify an a.

For the Babies

In honor of the first birthday ami
versary of her little granddaughter,
Corrine Ross Harris, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Herbert Leslie Harris of
Hoover street, Mrs. Abner l.. Ross of
1006 South Alvarado street gave a baby
party Thursday afternoon. Many ad-
miring mammas who are the proud pos
SCISSORS of one-year-old badies gathered
at the home of Mrs. Ross and allowed
the little ones to offer their congratu-
lations. Refreshments Just suited to
the wants of one year were provided
and it was not even considered impolite
for any guest to so to sleep. Miss Cor
rine received many beautiful and use
full presents. Her grandfathers, Will
A. Harris and Abner L. Ross, opened a
bank account for her and money will
be added each year until the young wo-
man is of age. Beautiful decorations of
flowers and ferns were arranged
throughout the home and a dainty
luncheon for the "mammas only was
served.

friends must content themselves with
surmising. She, too, has sunny smile
and an even more sunny crown of hair.
Blue eyes seem to be the only kind
for Treble Clef girls, for Miss Gather
inc Bell, another of the fair ones, also
possesses a pair of beautiful orbs of
azure hue. She is tall and graceful and
best of all has unusual musical talent.
In addition to her talent as a vocalist
she is pianist and organist of no mean
ability.
Miss Molie Dillon, a fifth of the
maids of the board of directors, who is
a social favorite bears the distinction
of being the only member with Titan
hair. And such hair-it is the envy of
her fellow members and an object of
much admiration from the opposite
sex. Miss Dillon is petite and modest,
and very much averse to believing she
possesses more than ordinary charms.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-10

Outside of the board there are many
other lovely maids, to say nothing of
the fair matrons. The Chatterer could
not tell of all their charms and virtues
in a whole book, but before she stops
she must just say a word about the
charming accompanist, Miss Blanche
Rogers. Miss Rogers counts her ad-
mirers by the legion and at all musical
affairs she is a most welcome guest.
This clever musician has been con-
nected with the Treble Clef ever since
it was organized, and all declare "she
is simply indispensable"

Cupid is welding the baton In the
Treble Clef club and even the much
loved director, William Henry Lott, Is
powerless to stop the inroad the little
blind god is making.
Lessons in singing are as nothing
when the master teacher takes hand
and begins to instruct in the greatest
of lessons
Those who know the Treble Clef can
not resist feeling that Cupid has chosen
wisely in his field of action, for there
are many charming young women from
which to select.
The board of directors alone counts
among it's officers five. to whom the
gods have been unusually kind, and
there are any number of others in the
club with equally sweet voices and
charming manners.
Then, too, Cupid has general In the
field who is a most worthy assistant.
She is Mrs. w. ]. Scholl, the president
of the club, and If there is one thing
which Mrs. Scholl finds more inter-
esting TINA music 1t Is match making.
Miss Louise Maud Is the first who has
fallen a victim to Cupld's blandish-
ments, and the Chatterer has been told
on cross your heart promises not to
tell that before the year is out friends
Of the Treble Clef will hear some other
very interesting announcements.
Miss Maud is the treasurer Of the
o,,d che Il, Laonipor har
secret very we'll until few days ago.
Last Monday the board of directors
gave luncheon at the Woman's Club
house in her honor, and club members
have felt much disappointment that
there has not been more time to fete
her.
She will be married at st. Mary's
parish house Tuesday morning at II
o'clock to Glen C. Peck. Her mother,
Mrs. Louise Maud, will be her only at
tendant.
Miss Maud will wear a charming
gown of white chiffon cloth, heavily
trimmed with duchesse lace and her
ornaments will be pearls. After the
ceremony a wedding breakfast will be
served at the Palace hotel. Mr.. and
Mrs. Peck will go east for wedding
trip, spending some time visiting in
Chicago. New York, Washington, D. c.,
and Niagara falls. When they return
to Los Angeles Mr.. Peck will build
home for his bride on West Adams
heights.
Miss Ethel Leavell, beautiful girl
with blue eyes and wealth of golden

secret which some day some of her

even suggests such thing.
