STIRRING CLOSE
OF CALIFORNIA
CLUB FESTIVAL
BY SALLY SHARP.

Let him who SCOTS at the executive
ability of women forever hold his
peace-the success of the California
Club festival at the Palace seals for
ever the doom Of the knocker.
Last night brought the three days
festival to brilliant finale and load
of shekels dropped into the club treas
ury.
But aside from sordid funds, there
was a lot of fun Embossed during those
three days, the very climax being the
baby show Of yesterday afternoon.
Bless those dear babies!
1t was a distinct and irreparable loss
to him who didn't see that bunch of
babies-twins, fat twins, lean babes
from the forest, and babes from over
the seas, besides a bunch Of them
wearing the stars and stripes as be-
comes earnest young Americans on pa
rade
A plucky chap is this Mr.. Habenicht,
to whose discriminating mind fell the
Solomonian decisions Of beauty, size
and other debatable attributes. In his
distress he was supported by Miss Ida
Kervan and Mrs. John H. Hoyt, who,
too, showed admirable pluck in linger-
ing about after the decisions had been
rendered. It was learned later, how
ever, that Dr. Amy Bowen and Mrs. A.
w. Scott had promised protection to
the referees.
This stunning idea of babies of many
nations, their scheme Of prizes, their
points the voting for them at ten
cents per, was a scheme introduced and
advocated by Mrs. A. w. Scott-an
everlasting service to the club, for let
it never be said again Of clubwomen
that they and babies are not on ia
miliar terms. They are. Yesterday
proved that.
For once. the "house" agreed with
the referees-with the possible excep-
ton of o'er-proud mammals, whose YER
dict wouldn't stand In court, owing to
prejudice.
The following received the awards:
Finest pair OF twins, first prize. Ed

In bulletin from the Central Ex-

the results gathered therefrom con-

A Note to Novel Readers.

GRAFTON of novel readers too apt to

ats them above the principles, it is
poisonous it may not kill, but it
will certainly injure; and this test
will alone exclude an entire class of
fiction, Of which eminent examples
will occur to all Then the whole
spawn Of so-called immoral ro-
mances, which imagine a world where
the sirs Of sense are unvisited by the
penalties following, swift or slow, but
inexorably sure, in the real world,
are deadly poison; these do kill. The
novels that merely tickle our preiu.
