JOLLY STAG AFFAIR
By Zoe Green RadcIine.

OAKLAND, July s.-The passing of
the golf club was made the occasion
last night of one of the jolliest stag"
affairs that has ever ratified the raft
ers of the coy little clubhouse on Ad-
ans Point. The Claremont Country
Club is about to absorb the golf club,
and the band of congeniat friends who
have been the life and spirit, not only
Of the club, but of its every social
gathering. determined TO have one more
night of it just for "auld lang syne'-
and they had it. Those whose wit scin-
tillated the most brilliantly last night
are the sleepiest to-day. There were
so many good old stories to retell, so
many "reminiscences to grow merry
over. that before they started out to
show each other the way home the sun
was peeking over the hills-that is, he
would have been peeking if he hadn't
lately acquired lazy habit of staying
in bed till afternoon. But they had a
glorious time, so they say, and echoes
from the now deserted little clubhouse
certainly bear out their assertion.
A bountiful Dutch spread tempted
even the man of little appetite. and for
the reveIer with a thirst there was
plenty wherewith to quench It, To be
well wined and dined and to commune
in good fellowship with brilliant intel
lects at their best-what more could
one desire? What wonder that time
passed unheededl

The long legged bird who is flap
ping his wings over this part of the
country just now is evidently partial
to girls. Little daughters have ar
rived in several homes recently and
they are I'll certainly fine enough to
do credit to The stork's good taste. OF
the recent newly made parents OF
girls, the PARCELS were the first to re-
joice. Then Irving Burrell and his
wife-formerly winsome Isabelle Ken
na-were made happy by the advent
of dirninutive Isabelle. Now comes
the news from Sacramento that the
Dan Beldens have a daughter, and
last night the stork left a little girl
at the Piedmont home of the VIII
Hushes. Mrs. Hush was formerly
Miss Julia Talbot, a dashing and ac-
complished San Francisco girl, and
