CLUB PARTIES.

The Friday Night Club has become such a
factor In social life here that people often won
der what would become of our society people
II It should be disrupted. The only answer has
been that some one else would organize an
other club on the same plan; but 1t is doubtful
if il would be as successful. The members OF
the club held their fourth meeting OF the season
las; Friday evening at Odd Fellows Hall, and
there was a very large attendance Blue and
gold were the tones that predOminated in the
decoration OF the hall, which was artiStically
draped, and the national colors also formed d
salient feature of the decorations. The Ii I'M
garian orchestra was on the Stage amid a
forest OF tropical plants. l he floor was can
vased, and the display OF elegant gowns was
notable. All of the debutantes of The season
were present, and chaperons were there with
out number.
The cotillon was commenced at $50 o'clock
under the leadership of Edward NJ. Greenway
and Miss Carrie Taylor. Six figures were

The San Francisco Verein.
The directorate Of the San Francisco Verein
decided some time ago to lay the cornerstone
or hatr huiIdipu na ~
Post and Leavenworth streets, last Saturday,
and made the necessary arrangements for it,
including a supper and jlnks in the verein in
tn evening. But as they did not take Weather
Clerk Pague into their confidence they were
doomed 10 disappointment as Tar as the laying
of the stone was concerned, for the rain fell in
torrents. However, the members met IN the
evening In the ballroom at the veTein, ana al
1880 O'Clock commenced the entertainment
they had planned. Spanish orchestra was on
the stage and played sweet selections at inter
walls while the members and few invited
guests saI at small tables around the room and
Toasted. Sparkling wine flowed as 1t always
does at the yerein and all were merry. Music
and addresses were scattered in between the
service OF the various courses. Colonel Nj. III.
Hecht. president of the veTeln. presided over
the meeting. and with apt and witty remarks
introduced the participants In The entertain
ment.
After Colonel Hecht's Introductory remarks
L. :. Heller was called TO the stage and deliv-
cred an address about cOrnerStones and other
Sloss was then called upon and sang ballad
In such an excellent manner that he was re-
called and gave another pleasing selection.
Much 10 the surprise Of every one Colonel
Andrews appeared from behind the scenes, and
laying his hat military oyercOat cane and
gloves on the piano proceeded 10 sell at auction
The first spadeful of mud taken from the site of
the veren. The Illusion was lost, however,
when the pseudo colonel spoke, for il was at
once apparent that the auctOneer was none
other than the ubiquitous Samuel Saalburg
He created no end of fun and won great ap-
plause. Marcus Gerstle was the next speaker
and his topic, timely one, was listened 10 with
much interest. Robert HOchstadter appeared
next with a violin solo aud surprised the
auditors by his cleverneSs with the sweet
toned instrument.
Then Louis Greenebaum appeared on the
stage attred in a long topcOat oTname nted
with an immense white chTysanthemum and
wearing a gIlded SILK hat. He has an excellent
voice, and sang a couple of topical songs that
were applauded TO the echo. Then there were
amusing addresses by DR.. Abrams and ii. l..
Simon, and an original poem III German by
Herman Cohn. This ended the jinks, which
was declared by all an unqualified success. Az
fairs of this Kind make the veTein very pOpu-
lar ana attract its members to it.
