since sh« is in mourning. Mr. Blank's death occurred in November. It was
shortly before this melancholy event that Bijou came to a tragic end. his
vative career cut short by a motor. They brought him to Mr?. Blank,
breathing his last, and she was broken by the blow. The sudden illness o{
Mr. Blank followed. He passed away a few days later.
After the funeral close friends called. Margaret A. among them. Mar
*l it said the conventional things. Mrs. Blank refrained from tears, but was
c- dently inconsolable. Margaret A. said the shock of it a!! had been M
great, she knew. She hoped Mrs. Blank would go south or somewhere for
a few weeks . Mrs , . Blank said yes, it had been shockingly sudden. They had
brought him to her (her to him, Margaret A. understood that she meant),
and he had died in her arms. He had been so bright and spirited, and it was
ovrr so soon. Before she could realize it he was quiet and dead. She hadn't
realized it yet, and Mr. Blank's death coming just after it seemed to make it
doubly hard to stand.
1 Margaret A., not owning an apricot Pom, and thus tailing to grasp the
relative values, was rather disconcerted, and made her adieux. Later she
told a man she know, and he said it reminded him of a fellow at the club.
The man Margaret A. knew had been away for several months, and when
lie came home mot the man at the club. Greeted him and asked how he was.
The man said he'd been playing in hard luck. Margaret A.'s friend was sorry
to hear it. "Yes," the man said; "'I lost my pointer. Run over by a street
car. Can't get another like her on the coast. Then 1 smashed my auto
mobile. A 1912 car. After that I broke my wrist trying out a new car —
cranking it up." lie paused, and the friend ot Margaret A. expressed sym
pathy. "Come, have a drink, old man," he suggested.
But the man hadn't finished. "While my arm was in a sling," he said,
*'my wife died." The friend of Margaret A. doesn't know what else happened
to the man, because he found an excuse to get away. It was getting too
harrowing.
Mrs. William Coon and her daughter
Mies Dorothea Coon, departed In the
early part of the week for New York,

COLUMN OF SPACE
WILL HELP WOMEN
Big Problems Discussed by
Corona Club Members
Big community problems were con
■idered yesterday by the women of the
Corona club In their quarters at 536
Sutter street. The day was marked on
the monthly calendar as one to be de
voted to civic matters. Mrs. B. F.
Cook wa« chairman.
Miss Jennie Partridge said that
women will acquire many things
needed for their welfare when the
newspapers of the city give the club
women a column of apace each day to
do with ac they see- fit. The speaker
also declared the removal of dog drink
ing troughs hud created a terrible
menace from rabies. "Dog-g must have,
water to drink," she said, "and unless
they get it they go mad. But few per
eons are aware of the large number of
cages of rabies in California. They
don't know because the information Is
being kept from them by the authori
ties."
James *Edward Rogers, secretary of
the Recreation league, declared the
time was not far distant when San
Francisco and cities all over the United
States would have municipal dance
halls and moving picture shows, for
healthful, wholesome recreation for the
young people is the best way to fight
white slavery.
Mrs. Hannah A. Nolan, industrial and
tenement house inspector with the de
partment of public health, told the
fiembers that women workers should
organize instead of asking for a mini
mum wage law. The law, she said, will
merely establish a maximum wage be
yond which employers will not go.
Mrs. Nolan satd that in her tenement
house investigations in San Francisco
she found a great deal of overcrowd
ing, especially among children.
Voca! solos were sung by Mise Oliver
«nd Miss Gertrude Post?!. Madame E.
Trombotii played the accompaniments.
Orchestra Gets Violin
ist for Concerts Today
and Sunday
Temperament and trouble go hand in
hand with the San Francisco Symphony
orchestra. David Birpham figures as
ttie temperament and also the trovible.
Maud Powell supplies the consonance.
The violinist takes the piace of the
vocalist, and though David Bispham
does not sing any of the music of 'The
Atonement of Pan" with the San Fran
cisco Symphony orchestra today or
Sunday afternoon, Miss Powell with
her magical bow will piay Bruch's con
certo in Q minor No. 1, opus 26, today,
iind Sunday afternoon will play Sars
sate's "ZißMimTWpisen," with Harold
Smith at the piano.
Bispham was so overanxious to ap
pear with the local orchestra that he
proffered his .service? —for a considera
tion—last Friday afternoon, and Man- '
aj?er Frank Healy announced the fact
to the audience in the Cort theater.
Bispham, however, figured without hia
manager, Frederick Shipinan. who Ht
that moment whs busy in L*os Angeles !
trying to find his Star for concerts in
the southern part of the state.
LOCAL DATES CANCWUEI)
Shipinan was so successful In this
endeavor that he managed to place
Kispham for concerts on exactly the
l same dates as Bispham had contracted
jto appear in this city. The reeult was
j confusion and a cancellation of the 10
-. cal dates, greatly to tho disgust of
: Bispham, who would rather aing "The
\ Atonement of Pan* with Hartley than
I make much money in the south.
Shipman insisted that Bispham fulfill
: the clown state engagements, and that
left the San Francisco Symphony or
clustra without a soloist until Manager
Jlealy read The Call and learned that
Miss Powell would be in town and
hence available for the two concerts.
Negotiations at once were entered
into and Miss Powell was engaged to
fill the position made vacant by the
vagrancy of David Bispham's memory
for southern dates. The net result is
that Miss Powell, who is the greatest
violinist born in America, will take the
place of David Bispham, one of the
greatest singers born in Pennsylvania,
at the concerts.
THE OFFICIAL STATEHE.VT
The following statement is given out
officially by the orchestra:
"The seventh popular concert of the
Pan Francisco Symphony orchestra will
be given at the Cort theater this after
noon at 3:15 o'clock.
'The musical association states that
it regrets to announce that David Bisp
ham has been unable to postpone en
gagements made for n!m by his man
ager in »the southern part of the state
and that he therefore can not appear at
the popular concerts Friday afternoon
and Sunday afternoon, as formerly an
nounced.
"Tho Musical Association or San
Francisco further states that it takes
the greatest pleasure in announcing
that it has been so fortunate as to
obtain the services of Miss Maud
Powell, who is generally accorded the
best Ajinerican violinist now before the
public.
"Maud Powell is so well known to
the San Francisco public that it is
hardly necessary to recall the fact that
sho is one of the most remarkable
living viollnist.<% A favorite both on
and oft the concert platform, always
womanly and lovable, Miss Powell's
appearance at the concerts are of the
utmost importanre. Miss Powell will
render selections which will make
these appearances long and pleasantly
remembered.''

it will he, if all goes r>3 is
planned, our Oberammergau, our Pas
sion play, the passion of the brother
hood of man. It will be a pageant of
peace produced by the mind and spirit
of man. According to Mrs. Austin, it
will be a continuous feature of the
exposition, beginning, perhaps, with a
naval review and marking all anniver
saries and holidays.
CO-OPERATION IS ASKETJ
"Let tho commissioners know you are
in sympathy with this." she said in
closing, "and impress on them as well
as the rest 'Of the folk the praoti-_al
value, as well as the historical."
A book of the pageant is to be pro- |
pared, for which there must be many
local committees and auxiliaries?, and.
When this is done and much of the in- j
tellectual and spiritual history of Cali
fornia, as well as some other things,
are eet forth, the book will be turned
over to Benson for interpretation.
Mrs. Austin was followed by BettMtti
who grave an enthusiastic definition of
the spirit of the pageant which he
hopes to stage for California, dealing
rather with atmosphere than actualities
in his fcddree*.
EXTHISES OVER CALIFORNIA
lie had many charming and compli
mentary things to say of the state, its
people, their hospitality and —despite
the morning's marvel of a snowstorm —
the climate. Its history and the possi
bilities for interpreting it in a pageant,
lie said, were marveliii;s.
"It is to be," he said, "a picture to
be painted in all the colors the brother
peoples of the world have brought to
this melting pot rf the nations."
He told then of the visions he had
Been as he stood on the site of the
exposition, facing the sea and the
mountains, and said that the picture
might be painted along the following
lines:
He would give first in the presenta
tion of his pageant brief introductory
g-limpsps of tlip primitive people, "the
flame bearers, tho brlngers of fire."
Then might come a hint of the civiliza
tion of Greece and of Rome, denot
ing; the swing and spirit of progress,
after whloh would come the illustra
tion of the civilization of the. missions,
dominated by the Christ rhythm. After
this be would show something , of that
little island which was his home, Eng
land, which brings the story of life
rhythm, of law, of MagßA Charta. of
freedom. He would show next that
the Pilgrim fathers brought all this
across the ocean and finally across
the continent, through perils of In
dians, hunger and the -wilderness.
Their* brave spirit wquld be typified
and then, down the western slope, to
meet the Spaniards and to bring . In
something of the Latin rhythm.
ALL I>~ MUSIC A\D SONG
All this Is to be told, should the
pageant become an established fact,
in terms of music, song, lithe muscled
athletics, the hoofs of galloping:
horses, the dances of children and
maidens, the steps of strong , men
marching , . In the advance of pioneers,
in the gorgeous colorings of the Chi
nese, the Japanese, the Indians, the
Africans and the Anglo-Celts, domi
nated by the power of the might and
vision of the people of California.
At the close of the luncheon of the
Recreation league, given also at tho
Palace, the members adjourned to the
ballroom and heard the addresses of
Bcn3on and Mary Austin.
A meeting of the league will be
arranged for Monday next at the St.
Francie hotel, at 4 o'clock, when Ben
son will speak further on the topic.
ON USING ONE'S
CAPITAL
RUTH CAMERON
A young woman in our neighborhood
is called by her neighbors a thoroughly
successful housewife.
At the risk of being- thought catty, I
beg to differ with them.
I admit that the lady in question
keeps everything about her house In
perfect order and exquisitely clean and
that there ie never a speck of dust vis
ible, even on that beloved habitat of
dust, mahogany furniture; I concede
that she is a most excellent cook, and
I am lost in envious admiration when
ever I see her, clothes line full of
clothes that really do deserve the ad
jective, snow white. Furthermore, I
realize that ehe certainly is a wonder
ful woman to have accomplished all
this in spite of an entire lack of early
training.
And yet I still maintain that she is
not a thoroughly successful housewife.
Why? Because, while she ha 3 learned
to do all these things well, she has not
yet learned to do them easily. She
does not do her daily work out of her
dally strength, but out of what, should
be her reserve fund, out of her very
self.
She worries about her work; she
frete lest everything should not be just
so; every nisiit finds her tired and
nervous, and what tired and nervous
people are likely to be—a little bit
cross.
Now. to my mind, no one is a suc
cefisful worker in any line of work
unless he has so thoroughly conquered
the task that he can do it with hie
normal allowance of strength and not
have to draw on a reeerve fund.
Suppose you had a certain amount of
invested wealth given you and wore
told that you must live on the interest
of It the rest of your life. Now, surely
you must adnflt that you would not be
using your money wisely, no matter
what splendid bargains you bought
with It, If you overdrew the interest
each week and used up some of the
capital.
And that is just whet the worker
doee who has not learned to do her
daily work with her dally strength.
That is why I do not think this
housewife has thoroughly learned her
business, even if she can bake and sow
and clean to perfec-tion. She has a lons
road still before her. She must learn

nent of Mrs. Crosby, engaged in a spir
ited exchange.
When Mrs. Scott ascended the plat
form to nominate Mrs. Ayres she was
askc<l by Mrs. Crosby to step down
and speak from the floor. . After de
claring that she had been insulted,
Mrs. Scott began her nominating speech,
in which she declared that Mrs. Ayres
had been indorsed by President ele< t
Wilson and Senator O'Gorman. Other
nominating and seconding speeches evi
denced much feeling, and order was
maintained with difficulty.
After Mrs. Ayrea had been declared
eler-ted, Mrs. Crosby said:
"I am very glad, ladies, that you have
elected a new president. I wish to
Fay J hat both Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are
friends of mine and I know he would
not intorfere in «n election of this or
ganization. I propose that he shall
hoar how his name has been brought
into this affair. I have lost the elec
tion because of the question of whether
I am a free trader and single taxer or
not, and since this is the cause I do
not care to preside over such a narrow
minded set of women."
Following this discussion other of

WOMEN RIOTERS
SENT TO PRISON
London Suffragettes Who De
stroyed Mails Are Sentenced
LONDON, Jan. 9.—Long sentences
were passed today on two of the mili
tant suffragettes, many of whom in
recent months have engaged in a cam
paign of destruction of the mails. May
Billinghurßt and Louisa Gay, two of
the first to be arrested In connection
with these outrages, were brought up
for trial at the Old Bailey today and
condemned to eight months' imprison
ment each.
May Billinghurst, who in a. crtpple
and is unable to get about except on a
tricycle, has been Imprisoned on several
occasions in connection with the suf
frage campaign.
The evidence given today showed
that letter boxes throughout the cen
ter and the west end of London had
been damaged, together with their con
tents, by means of acids, sticky fluids
of various kinds, varnish and Ink. In
some cases inflammable materials, such
as rags soaked in lamp oil, had been
inserted through the slits in the boxes
for the admission of the mail. Many
valuable documents had been destroyed
in thi3 way. These included money or
ders, contracts, checks and banknotes.
It was a matter of difficulty to cap
ture the perpetrators* of the outrages
in the act, as in most instances the
destructive fluids were passed into the"
boxes in uncorked bottles contained in
ordinary envelopes.
how to do all these things without
taking so much out of herself.
Can this be done?
I think it can.
How?
Well, for one thing, she must study
short cuts and efficiency methods.
She must study how to do every
little thing in the easiest way.
She must have the best tools.
She must be willing not to do things
quite no perfectly when a check on her
reserve strength is the price of per
fection.
And, above all things, she must learn
not to let her tasks worry her or fret
her, not to bo afraid that she won't get
things deno on time or have things
Just so. In other words, she must be
mistress of her work and not let her
work dominate her.
Then, and then only, will 1 be willing
to concede her that rare but splendid j
title—a thoroughly successful house
wife.
