One of the marked characteristics OF San
Francisco social life is the tendency to form
clubs. Social clubs are very easily organ
lied, and give a vast amount Of enjoyment
at a minimum of cost Whatever the disci-
pies of Rellamy may have tailed to prove,
1t is toleraby certain that cooperation for
social enjoyment is, within limits, sue
cess, as demonstrated by the club. Given
few cOngenial souls, and this pleasant means
Of evening entertainment can always be
evolved. To make the club permanent it is
only necessary TO have among the control
ing properties a steady esprit de corps, a
little tact and business principle, and per-
sonal enthusiasm may be counted upon to
do the rest. Already there are indications
of thoughts turning toward the formation
of new clubs and, with those already in
existence, the long evenings Of next season
are likely to be greatly curtailed. In the
meantime, however, society is enjoying
country life as much as possible.
