She is to be seen every beaches of California, romping in breakers: or in the mountains, swinging a team along at a lively clip. She tramps with the hounds after the deer over the ridges, or casts a fly into the shady pool as well, and often a little bette an her brothers. And as for tennis and golf—she plays them like a man. What more could be said? San Francisco is especielly well favored in locatfon for her fair daughters who love the outdoor life afield and afloat.

She prefers the quail or snipe shooting to the deer hunt- ing about Bolinas, as she gets better deer stalking at her father's ranch in Napa County than at Bolinas, where he also has an extensive property. Miss Waterhouse is not afraid to hunt wildcats which do damage very often oung animals up the coast near Point th 10 Reyes.

She is often up at Libertys with Miss Hoft- man. ocicty girls often run port. The shooting . e properties are nearly all large and preserved, and the Country Club Is within easy driving distance. Several well-known society women have summer cottages at Boli Beach, as Mrs. Hepburn Wilkins and Mrs. Parks, also Mrs. Viacent Neale of San Ratael, as L/‘7j ARy Waezse nm g= < Mrs. and the Misses Finetta and ma others. The swimming is delightful a: ny nd here the Misses Finetta show to great ad- vantage, for they are superb swimmers and rarely miss a half-hour every day in tha,surf. “The Misses Ham of San Rafael are also graceful swimmers. W ORIy At the present day no outdoor recreation or pastime is more fashionable in the Inited States than golf, and nearly every lady whose husband or father is possessed of any considerable means or secral im- portance at least feigns, if she does not feel, an interest in the royal and ancient ame. She must at least know enough of se ferminology of the game to be able to follow with some understanding the ac- count of a match and occasionally must form one of the gallery which follows the more rotable golfers in an important con- test. She must know the difference between match play and medal play and must not fall into the vuigar and ;or of supposing a hig ne. £he must be able to te!l a putter from a lofter and must know what ‘‘bunkers” and “water hazards’ are. us! able to talk of ‘stymies drives” and must have ing acquaintance with the onel Bogie,” Bug, to be quite comme {1 faut, she ought to play the noble game herself, and to be more concerned about a ‘“‘topped ball” than a hat awry or a freckled face. 8he should don a short golf skirt, with thick flat-soled shoes, a shirt waist with the sleeves rolled up to the elbow and tramp around the links at least twice a day three times a week. t should delight her heart more to pull oft a long, sweet drive than to get a two. pound box of candy, and she should be prouder of a pewter pat won in a club andicap than'of a big bouquet of Amer- ican Beauty roses from a millionaire’s npardonable er- Lore to be a good and 'S least a spe doughty “Cc son. And there are reveral of our fashionabla girls and young matrons who really Seem to take more genuine pleas: trudxing round a links than in traversing a bal'room—who prefer golf to gossip and broad 8coteh ‘o scandal, Firsl among the genuine lovers of golf must be placed Mrs. R. Gilman Brown, wife of the secretary of the San Rafael Golf Club. She has practiced assiduously and plays a stronger game than any other lady on the Paclfic Coast, probably not even excepting Mrs. Jean W. Bowers, who is the woman champion of Southern’ Cali- fornia and a very steady, consistent golf- er. Mrs, Brown plays like a man, so her opponents say, and it is a fact that her score on the Del Monte links would have qualified for the men's contest for the Del bes!des adies’ cu an Rafael Golf ptured the Ponia- towski 'cup a rlingame. Mrs. Brown golfs not only bare-armed, but bareheaded as well, and it is a pleasure to see the en- thusiasm, to say nothing of the accuracy 1 good judgment, with which she plays. nother weil-known golfer {s Miss Alice Hager, who up to the time of her recent departure on a trip to the Orlent was one of the most reguldr morning visitors to the Presidio links. She is a strong, vig- orous girl and often drives a longer ball than Mrs. Brown, She worked her way up into the final round of the woman's championship at Del Monte, heing beaten only by the winner, Miss Carn Crockett. A year or two ago, before her marriage, there was no iocal golfer better kfown than Miss Alice Moffitt of the Oakland Golf Club, now Mrs. George Doubleday of New York. She won the ladiés’ trophy of the Oakland Golf Club, and hers is the first name inscribed on the Ponlatowski cup. The second name is that of Miss Caro Crockett, who is a familiar figure on the links of ‘San Francisco. Del Monte and the Burlingame Country Club. Miss Crockett plays an accurate game and never allows any mishaps occurring, either to her opponent or herself, to ais- turb her- equanimity. Her careiess de. meanor 1s apt to decelve her adversary, but she never allows her own judgment to be clouded or her good iemper to be ruffled. For these reasons, as well as for her good play, she is a dangerous op- ponent in a match game.
