MANY FLOWERS FOR
THE L|LL|PUTIANS

The little folks of the Pollard troupe
We're presented with enough flowers
over the footlights last night to start
a florist shop. Little Ivy Pollard, who
was particularly winning in her role
in The Toymaker,' was especially
favored, but other members shared in
the floral gifts of their admirers. The
house was packed, as usual, and it was
stated by Manager Cohen that practi-
cally every seat for the whole of the

ALL BOYS INTERESTED
IN "THE TRIANGLE" AT
Y. M. C. A. BUILDING

The Triangle department of the
Young Mems Christian association Is
one of the adjuncts of the big organ1za-
ton which holds the interest of hum
dreds of members.
1.-THE Young Mems Triangle club is
an organization of young men between
the ages of 16 and 21, banded together
for the purpose of mutual benefit, social
enjoyment and the advancement of
young manhood.
This quotation sets forth the object
of the Triangle club, organized in Feb
ruary 1902, with fifteen members.
Throughout the many trials incident
to the growth of the association this
club has been an active force in the
social. intellectual. religious and ply
steal life of the young men of Los
Angeles.
Room for Thousand
Today in the splendid new building
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton equipment sufficient to meet the
needs of over one thousand young
men is provided, the fifth floor having
been set aside for this department
Here will be found the spacious, we'll
amounted Triangle hall, social, educa-
tional and Bible class rooms and mill
tary quarters. These features together
with those offered by the physical de-
partment hold out TO the young men
of Los Angeles the greatest of oppor-
tunities for acknowledgment and SER
vice.
Educational evening classes meet the
special needs of the young men of the
city.
Lectures. practical talks, etc, in the
debating section are made strong fea-
lures.
A select reference library Is in opera
ton. In religious work courses of spe-
cially selected graded Bible studies are
outlined. Local and international COM
mittee certificates are awarded for ex-
animation in these.
1t is the purpose of the Triangle de-
partment to make Sunday afternoons
most helpful and attractive. Special
vocal and instrumental music, strong
speakers, live topics and rousing sing
ing are in order always
Activities along all lines of religious
effort are conducted, thereby offering
young men an opportunity for service.
Social Spirit There
A social spirit permeates every
phase OF activity. Entertainments
concerts, social rallies, etc, are held
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-12-06

from time to time. The social ana re-
ception committee is active in this
connection. 1t is hoped TO nave q
band, orchestra, chorus and life ana
drum corps.
The military section, which has al
ready proved so popular and helpIul'
continues to attract many young men;
The organization includes a slgnal
corps and other branches found IN
connection with a military organlza-
ton. Triangle hall affords ample space
for company and battalion drills. "A
summer camp held in connection with
this section is one of it's strong fea-
lures. The period of time spent IN
the open in congenial companionship
and good fellowship amid wholesome
environment leaves a lasting impress
sion on all who attend.
Physical department privileges are
open to members of the Trinagle de-
partment the same as to the general
membership of corresponding ages.

One man sent in a check for $50 yes
terday, insisting that his name be
withheld.
Gratifying reports are coming in from
the various fraternities and lodges in
the city. Circular letters were sent to
them, and though most of the lodges
have Christmas exercises of their own
for the children of their members, they
are responding promptly to the call of
other poor children, as announced
through The Herald's columns.
The contribution tables herewith
show which arc the earliest to respond,
but as some of them meet early in the
week, and others only twice monthly,
most of the lodges have not had time
to act on the committees suggestions.
All individuals who have pledged sub
scriptions should send in their checks
at once. Those who have goods to do
nate should also send word, giving their
telephone numbers, so that they can
be notified when the wagons will call

Treasury was just two points behind, but
now. although both teams have dropped

tained the lead and are clipping them off
at a .261 rate. while the Interiors are five
points below this mark. Interstate Com
merce has improved wonderfully and has
ousted Commerce and Labor from third
place. The Laborites are not solving shoots
at the pace they set earlier in the sea-
son. and as a result three teams have
forged ahead of them. But none Of the
clubs has anything on them at fielding.
and they are leading in this respect by a
good many points. Agriculture and
Treasury follow in the order named in
team fielding.
