AS WOMAN to WOMAN RUTH CAMERON T J THY is it, I wonder, that the ay- Yγ crage relative regards it as one of his — or more lively her—un avoidable duties to frankly criticise everything about her closest relatives? If you show a new g£a>n or hat to a friend she will pick out all the best points about it, all the allurements that induced you io buy it, and Warm the cockles of Vow heart by commenting upon them. "Isn't it a wonderful color? ,, she will sas, "and what cunning buttons! Try it on and let me see how it looks on you. H-hat a pretty skirl, and so becoming to you. Makes you look &° slender. i ci, it certainly is a bargain. ,, Show the same gown to your relative, and, though she may see the good y points, she certainly gives no sign of having done so. On the contrary, she kindly points out any disadvantages which she fears may have escaped your eve- "The waist is a little too small across the back, isnt it? And the sleeves arc too short. Queer how they almost always make the sleeves too short. It is a lovely color, isnt it? But so trying. Too bad so few people can wear Thai lace is cheap, but, then, they always put cheap lace in ready made things. That's one of the reasons why 1 like to Jiave my things made up. Of course, you can rip it out and put in something better." The closer the relationship, the closer is the degree of frankness, of course. By way, have you ever happened to notice how the word "frank" like c word "criticise," has been given an unpleasant meaning by usage. "Criticise" originally meant "to pass judgment on the merits or qualities of." Evidently the judgment was usually unfavorable, for criticism is now generally used in the sense o) "pick flaws." The first meaning given for "frank" '« "free in utter ing one's real opinion." For a' that, the opinion might be the most favorable m the World. Bui somehow when any one says, "I am going to be frank with you, b>c don't usually anticipate praise — nor get it cither. I o return io the original subject-*—the > other day I showed a new gown to a very close relative, and she delivered a monologue somewhat the above upon d. One or two things she did praise, but for the most ptrt she picked i flaws. "IVcll," I sighed to myself, as I laid it away in its tissue paper bed rteir, '7'm sorry she doesn't like it, for she has good taste." II hat was my astonishment to hear later from a mutual friend that she, my critical relative, had been praising my gown to others as one of the loveliest ■ had seen. She had even compared it favorably to a Parisian creation of •re of her wealthy friends, which she had been praising to me. And yet, from comments, J had actually thought she didnt like it. Is unfavorable criticism really a duly we owe our relatives? Must »c all our pleasant words for our friends? I wonder?

"GUT BEAUTIFUL" IDEAS SUGGESTED Plans for Bettering San Francisco's Appearance Are Developed Foundations for new progress to ward beautifing and bettering condi tions in San Francisco wero laid last nlplit at the City Beautiful convention, held in the assembly room of the Phelan building, when officers wore elected and schemes proposed to im prove the streets and parks of the city. Typical among these was a sugges tion read for making a park of the steep slope of Elizabeth street above Hoffman, in which the grade is too heavy for traffic. Several civic and women's organiza tions were among the indorsers of this plan, asking that the strip of land be turned over to the park commission to be laid out according to Its id^as. Residents of the district already have signified their willingness to subscribe to the project. Charles Francis Adams was elected president of the convention to succeed Eustace Cullinan. The other officers chosen were: Vice president, Mrs. Emma W. Little; second vice president, Mrs. Margaret Hill; third vice presi dent, Angelo Rossi; marshal, Doctor C S. Maguire; treasurer. Colonel Prank W. Mars ton; secretary, Joseph P. Dugan. These officers will meet next Tues day afternoon in the Mills building at. A o'clock to nominate committees which will carry out the work of the conven tion during the next year. Fire Chief Thomas It. Murpliy ap peared at the dose of the evening to give a demonstration and explanation of the working of the fire alarm box system of San Francisco. Among the accomplishments of the year which the City Beautiful conven tion recites are proposed ordinances for clean streets, sidewalks and lots pub lished in pamphlet form, the establish ment of a tree planting commission, and the adoption and ratification by the legislature of a city planning com mission.

Budd. an Enplish merchant who arrived here yesterday from Pan ama on tho liner Kansas City, says the t eyes of Europe are fixed on the Pan ama can.il and that the isthmus today is the geratest tourist attraction in the world. The European steamship line* recognized this a long time ago and are now running passenger lineVs at special rates to the canal zone. The steamer on which' Mr. Budd sailed to Colon was one of seven big liners to arrive the same day, and from these ships 2,700 tourists landed. Most of them made the trip just to see the canal work in its nearly completed state and remained for only a few hours'. "The kind of travel," said Mr. Budd. "that is now going on to the isthmus will come to California when the canal opens. All the world la interested in this state, but many tourists dread the long overland train journey. When they can come all the way by ship they will come in droves. This will be altogether apart from the immigrant travel, but if California uses Its op portunities aright many will locate and make their homes here for at least part of the year." PLANS FOR OBSERVING ST. PATRICK'S BIRTH An adjourned meeting of the St. Patrick's day convention of the United Trish Societies will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Welcome hall, 1254 Market street. It has been decided to hold two cele brations. A ball will be given at the Auditorium, Page and Fillmore streets, Saturday evening. March 15, and liter ary exercises will be held in Knights of Columbus hall, 150 Golden Gate avenue Sunday afternoon, March 16. The United Irish Societies have agreed upon these dates for their cele bration to avoid holding it during Holy week, as Pt. Patrick's day falls within that period this year. At the conclusion of business Sun day a musical and literary program will be rendered for the entertain ment of the delegates.
