With the foregoing array of home

up to the high ideals that the Cali

The program comprises vocal and in

time for those who are interested in
that branch of club work, and dramatic
and whist sections, orchestras, literary
work OF all types and many other in
terests have gone to make the year of
rehabilitation which has just passed
one of both pleasure and profit to the
club women of San Francisco. There
are many weary ones in the club world
now, however, and the vacation season
or two or three months will be re-
lief and rest that is sorely needed by
many who have had the interests and
welfare of their organizations SO
deeply at heart.
Last Tuesday was the closing meet
ing for the year of the California club
and the reading of the annual reports
and the installation by Mrs. E. L.
Baldwin of the officers for the coming
year occupied the entire afternoon until
nearly o'clock. The president, Mrs.
>. w. Orr, who was unanimously re-
elected, read an exhaustive account of
the arduous task Of the past year Civ
ing a resume of the difficulties en-
countered, the work accomplished and
the aims of the club for the future.
There was note of satisfaction and
confidence in this report that was dis
tfnctly encouraging to the members of
the club, realizing as they did that Mrs.
Orr was in position to speak authori-
tatively as to the exact state Of affairs
In closing Mrs. Orr said: The attend
arlce at regular meetings has steadily
increased. and we now feel that our
faith is justified in believing that the
California club through its baptism of
fire has been consecrated anew to the
purpose for which it was founded-'to
create center of thought and action
among the people for the promotion of
whatever tends to the best interests of
the city and of the state"
The report of the secretary. Mrs. D.

past year done by the board of d.
rectors, the four departments and nine

She reported that there are at present 529

On Monday of last week the retiring

Under the auspices of the Council of
Jewish Women and the California club
DIR. Felix Adler of New York, founder
of the Society Of Ethical Culture, edu-
Gator and author, will give two lectures
in San Francisco late I'm June. DIR. Ad-
Ter was educated for the Jewish min
istry, but his attitude toward the Jew
ish beliefs so changed that he found 1T
impossible for him to carry out his
plans for that work. and he finally or
ganized In New York city society for
ethical culture, based upon the princi-
pie of the promotion Of right living and
the supremacy of moral ends. His So
ciety has given practical expression to
its aims by establishing worlxingmen's

more gatherings OF the different
women's organizations of the city un-
til late in the summer or early in the
fall. 1t has been a hard year for the
clubs, reorganized after the fire un-
der all manner of painful conditions,
and with the most adverse circum-
stances facing them. There has been
a deal of pleasure in the club work
and life of the winter, however, and
the situation has done much to pro-
mote kindlier feeling and greater har-
mony among the club women. None
of the clubs has dishanded and none of
them has failed to make good" at
whatever line of work 1t has engaged
in. Although dues have been in most
instances remitted for at least half the
year, there seems to be no financial
stress or difficulty, although there have
been in some of the clubs considerable
expenditures. The greatest difficulties
at first seemed to be in locating the
members, getting their addresses and
finding suitable meeting places. Most
of the clubs must have place to set
up their household gods. There are
certain DTS OF thlnBS Wnlcn every
woman, in clubs or out, must have,
and an aggregation of women carry
out the ways of their sex quite as
faithfully as a single member. So
the home instinct was one Of the first
felt by the club women, and there was
travelling hither and yon until an abid-
ing place for the winter at least was
found. A number Of the clubs have
been permitted to use the various COM
Portable rooms in the annex of the
Calwary Presbyterian church on Fill
more and Jackson streets. and there
are many expressions of grateful ap-
probation of the courtesy heard among
the club women. Excellent programmes
Of music, addresses or other pleasur-
able features have been provided which
have been especially enjoyable in the
absence of many of the intellectual
pleasures usually enjoyed In Gan Fran
cisco. Civic work has occupied much.

turned last night from Coleman coun-
ty, Texas, where ne went to see Tom
Padgitt and wife, Willie Day Padgitt
for the purpose of effecti1g a settle
ment of the estate of the late Captain
Lea and wife. Mr.. Lea easily secured
a complete settlement of the affairs
of this big estate and an agreement
to settle any other differences that
may come up in future years by arbi-
tration. This was quite an accomplish
ment, i1asmuch as there has been
considerable litigation over the prop

gifts getting along well and their big
ranch prospering wonderfully.
