ART AND ARTISTS.
BY Zoe Green Radcliffe.

OAKLAND Nov. 30-"'Tis remarkable
that they talk most that have the least to
say" DR.. RAIDER did not say that exactly,
but he did .insinuate that he knew nothing
about art and then went displaying his
Ignorance" in a most interesting manner.
One can listen to Dr. RAIDER with such COM
fort-his words come cleaa-cut from a clear
brain ana his listeners are never obliged TO
strain mind and hearing to enjoy him.. He
has just returned from a stay in London and
in his talk on Painters and Paintings of the
London Galleries the women of Ebell and
their guests received the benefit of his still
fresh impressions of British art and artists.
4 goodly and fashionable gathering paid him
the compliment Of close attention and at the
close OF his brief and very interesting ad
dress the distinguished clergyman was pre-
sented individually to the members of the

The .trite statement that there is nothing
new under the SUM- lacks merit in these pro-
gressive days, for every in while some
Oakland hostess surprises her friends with some
new stunt Mrs. w. A. Schrock may al
ways be counted on to do something original
she entertained yesterday. will remember the
occasion as ''red-letter day
Promptly at IL 80 o'clock the invited ones
assembled at a fashionable downtown res
taurant in San Francisco, where they enjoyed
delicious breakfast, while feasting the ear
with music and the eye with the violets that
adorned the table. Each lady-sixteen sat at
the table-carried away large corsage bou-
quet of the fragrant blossoms.
At the conclusion of the breakfast the party
boarded the waiting Hermosa- the street
railway company's luxurious private car. and
then away they sped over devious and in
terestins route to the Cliff House.
Mrs. Schrock must have had very per-
suasive heart-to-heart talk with the weather
clerk. for the day was perfect. Not even a
faint breeze ruff1ed the sluggish waves and
the glorious sunshine spread a SOlden warmth
over earth and The car party remained
at the seaside resort for almost hour, dur
ing which the hostess had '.tin-types taken
of the merry group, presenting one to each
lady as souvenir of the occasion.
During the ride to the Cliff House several
games OF 300 were played and the prize a
dainty little cloth bound telephone memoranda
book by Mrs r. c. Craft.
1t o. clock when the jolly party landed
