San Francisco, Aug. 28. Socloty
here Is in a state of fluttering ex

ofa quiet little war that is being
waged between the members of tho
various parlors of the Native Son
order and 12 prominent society wom

at the coming state ball of the Na
tive Sons at Monterey.
Tho Stanford parlor last night
started the opposition to tho inno
vation by voting not to permit tho
gown at the ball and it Is expected
that other parlors will follow. The
women met some days ago and
agreed to wear dlrectolres at the an

gowns have been purchased and it
Is supposed that tho women may re
fuse to let tho men dictate tho mode
of tbeir dresi and appear at the ball
