The Los Angeles "40O'' of fifty years
ago, all that are left of the beautiful
maids who half century ago were the
bellies of the town and the men who
were then the Beau Brummels, gathered
at the Casa Verdugo yesterday as the
guests of Mrs. Charles Forman.
OF course there were few of the
younger ones too, but they becomingly
took seats in the corners and listened
while the young-old folks made merry.
A Spanish dinner, served in the true
Spanish style of "the good old days."
out in the open under the beautiful
trees which surround the adobe, was
Mrs. Forman's way of entertaining
She took her guests to the foothill
restaurant in the parlor car Poppy"
and a real old time reunion followed
Chilli, enchiladas, chill concarne, tor
tillas, frijoles, tamales and all the
other Spanish dishes cooked by a
Mexican chef and served by walters
dressed in the brilliant Spanish CO.'S
tunes. The Spanish colors decked the
tables and at the close Of the dinner
hour all old Spanish songs were re-
vived and a group of Spanish singers
and dancers entertained the company.
1t was a blissfully happy day for all.
The strenuousity of present day AMER
lea was forgotten and out in the coun-
try where the surroundings are ideal,
a picture of the little adobe pueblo of
the old days was recalled. They talked
of the dances they had had together,
of the many parties, and of half
hundred other things which live now
only in the memory of the few who are
left A merry company of them, more
than thirty, including Mr.. and Mrs.

viewer, Consents to Repeat ADJ
dress at Blanchard Hall

William Winter called the dean of
dramatic reviewers and known all over
the country as a lecturer and author,
will repeat the address on the "Theater
and the Public" given before the Fri
day Morning club, this evening at
Blanchard hall.
This address was written for delivery
before the Twentieth Century club of
Chicago, and was there received with
such favor that it has since been re-
peated in many cities O, the west.
This address is relative to the state
of the contemporary age; the relation
between the theater and the public; the
attitude and duty of the press toward
the theater; the dramatic movement in
America, and the principles that ought
to prevail in the public mind and in
theatrical administrati- together with
an examination of the forces most
potential in the American theater to-
day, and a glance at famous actors
of the last fifty years.
The members of the Friday Morning
club crowded the club house last Fri
day, and the desire to hear the lecture
was so great that all guests were
barred. Since then Mr.. Winter has
been asked repeatedly to deliver it
again.

GIRLS SOLD TO CHINESE
Extensive Traffic Being Carried on in
Sending Young Women to
the Orient
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Traffic in young
women, purchased in Chicago for prac-
tical sale in all parts of the empire of
China, has been discovered by local
federal and police authorities, but thus
far no law has been found prohibiting
the exporting of American women to
foreign countries. The police are in pos,
session of the names of two women one
in Chicago and another in Shanghai,
China, who are thought to be leaders
in the practice.
The plan used in the operation of the
alleged ring was, it is believed, to first
hire unsuspecting women, tempting
them with lurid stories of wealth in the
orient. A position of maid or high
servant in wealthy Chinese families Is
said to have been the bait offered. To
bind the contract the applicant for the
position was told that her travelling
and living expenses would be paid and
all the clothing necessary furnished.
When the women reached China they
were Immediately placed under guard
and sent to the purchasers, who had
previously paid from $500 to $1,000 for
each. Many are supposed to be held in
palaces of wealthy Chinese under heavy
guards.
