SOME OF THE BOOK-BUYERS
OF SAN FRANCISCO.
BY KATHERINE DURHAM.

Far and away from its commerce, enter
prise and wealth, the most just pride and
crown of its glory, is citys schools, mu-
seums OF art and its libraries.
San Francisco has not passed beyond the
money-getting epoch. The blood of the
fortune-hunters and gold-seekers of 40
still rushes strong through her veins.
When great values cease to be created in a
day, when the unrest and fever of youth
are crystallized into stable forms and life
takes on the more settled habits, then the
intellectual growth will begin in earnest
and mental development take up the march
of progress. Old cathedral windows sur
pass in beauty and harmony of color the
new, but time will bring out the rich am
bers.
San Francisco is. and so are all new
cities, blinded with the vanity and igno-
rance of youth. Far removed from other
cities and so lacking the possibility of the
training and pruning close intercourse and
comparison give, she grows distinct
genius. This is WELL but possibly the type
is not perfect. Yet TO herself she seems a
plant resplendent in its peculiar foliage,
flower and fruit-a fruit which the stranger
says is lacking in favor or bit crude; and
jealous, she resents comment that is not
commentator. A Haweis comes within
her golden gates and says she has nc
