Part III
LEAVES FROM SOCIETYS NOTE BOOK

"One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven," counted a tiny little member
of the Maria Louise society yesterday
morning as she marked the numbers
with her fingers.
Seven days more until the lawn
fete and bazaar which the society will
give Saturday afternoon at the resi-
dence of Mrs w. B. Cline, corner or
Figueroa and Adams street-that was
what she meant.
For almost a month now the girls
of the society, which is trying to raise
an endowment fund of $4,000 for a room
in the Children's hospital have been
counting the days until the time for
their bazaar to arrive. For whole
year they have been making beautt-
full things calculated to open the purse
strings of all who come within the
gates. Every Saturday morning they
have met and under the direction of
Mrs. w. B. Cline, Mrs. Arthur F. Nor
Ian and Mrs. Frank Burnett they have
worked as only girls can who have a
deep desire to do something for some
one less happy than themselves.
Every bit of fancy work is now in
readiness with a neat little price upon
it, and the people who go to the fair
expecting to find only cheap little toys
or at best some doll clothes will be
either sorely disappointed or agreeably
surprised for l have seldom seen a
more beautiful display of useful and |
handsome articles. The workmanship
is wonderful and no one who did not
know the truth would ever guess the
fancy work had been done by chill
dren.
During the last week there have been
many handsome things added to the
collection and every day sees some
new contribution from interested
friends. The prices. too, are also sur
prising, for instead of the "hold-up
game" which people who go to ba- !
zaars often expect to find, the patrons
of the Maria Louise society will find
that there is not an article which is
marked at price above value and
many of them are so far below that
one might almost imagine herself at a
bargain sale
Yesterday morning the children met
at the Cline home and compared notes
about the sale of tickets. A small adj
mission fee will be charged and 1900
tickets were printed. Yesterday Mrs. |
Cline learned that only about fifty re-
main unsold, so the affair gives prom
Use of being a great success.
The grounds of the Cline home will
be enclosed in canvas and booths will
be erected in many places. Several
prominent society women will assist
the children in various ways.
Mrs. A. F. Morlan will have charge
Of the Japanese booth. A Japanese |
garden, after the plan of those seen
in the far east, will occupy one cor
ner of the lawn. 1t will be surrounded
by fence of bamboo and will be a gay
spot with Japanese flags, lanters and
umbrellas. A box of beautiful orna-

Francisco's popular daughters, will
leave the northern city and another

and it was while on one of these south
ern trips that she met DR.. Sewer. She
is a talented and altogether delightful
young woman as well as musician
with an enviable name in the San Fran
cisco social circles to which she be-
longs. Much of her time has been
spent in travelling, and on several occa-

has passed in her sightseeing to study
for a time under some of the best
teachers of the old world.
The wedding will take place some
time during the latter part of January
