By Marion MacRae.
. Ran Kranclsco, Dec. 12. It In not
safe to venture through the downtown
trctta, tho hotels or office buildings
hern' Utrly unless well supplied with
pocket money and Imbued with the
spirit of sweet charity. From every
corner, from elevators and , stairways
and writing room appear maids and
matrons who have ticket, to aell-
ticket for every kind of performance.
: baxaar, drtnsant. tea. ball game, min
strel shows, on the calendar. There are
'benefits for war sufferers, home suf
ferers organlxed charities, churches
and what not. . And how the tickets
ell!
After ' three theater performances
this week, the Olympic club Is giving
such a "monstrous large" dansant at
one of the big hotels this evening that
' all three hall rooms have been called
Into use to take rare of the crowd.
This Is Just a sample of San Francis
co's response to charity benefits, this
one. by the way, being for a local in
stitution.
The sixty boxes which were added
. to the big auditorium at the exposition
for tho military pageant ball, to be
given in January, have already been
njraged. Ant! now the committee is
trylnn to find a place to install addi
tional ones. ' This 'promine to eclipse
the. ball of all nations in proportions,
and will be much more exclusive.

! Oovernor Krneet LJster of Washing-
- ton Is here this week, in consultation
with the state cotrimisKion on matters
pertaining to exposition affairs.
Ruth St. Denis, the dancer, who has
been appearing at a . local theater all
' week' with her Oriental troop, was the
'cynosure of all eyes at one of the
'elect hotel dansants last Saturday af
', ternoon, but somewhat to the disap
pointment of the other guests present,
' she was not garbed in freakish or un
usual array, tshe wore a plain dark
tailored suit and a large flat velvet
hat with aigrettes aa its only trim
ming. However, her heavy black en
, atneled earrings set with sapphires,
which' reached to her shoulders, gave
1 something of the far east atmosphere
' to her ensemble. Miss St. Denis pro.
rtounced the San Francisco girls good
dancers, but refrained from giving an
exhibition herself.
