SEQUOIA CLUB TO MOVE INTO ITS NEW HOME —— BY SALLY SHARP. San Francisco is fast becoming a city of clubs. It holds clubs for men and clubs for ‘women, some forty of them. And since September, ‘04, it has held a club for botn men and women—an orgunism = and a rendevous that. the gentle Knocker predicted could not hive —and for the very vital reason that ‘women weren’t born clubable. For nearly a year, the club—the Sequoia—held headquarters in the St Francis, where on ‘t'uesday evenings it held informal “at homes.” These, for the most part, were delightful affairs, many interesting men and women gathering together to swap stories— and sip punch. And besides, when big people came amongst us, the club put on its dress suit and entertained them in a pretty, modest way that caused many nice| things to be said of the club and of its| personnel. Betwixt times, several artist members of the club held exhibitions in the club- rooms, and many a nice little cup of tea ‘was sipped of afternoons after a shop- ping skirmish. Then the club outgrew its quarters and moved to the Palace, where’it hung out the latchstring to such as loved | the camaraderie of the Sequoia. And now, hehold the club that the Knockers predicted would die a prema- | ture death—die of petticoatitis—is en- | tering into its own home on Sutter ! street, near Mason, where, at its own| i glowing hearthstone, it will radiate good cheer “to all who enter here.” And thus will the 25th day of April (Easter Tuesday) be a day of glad rejoicing, for on that day will salt be spilled upon the doorstep, the house- hold gods be toasted with red, red wine, | and the quarters taken in the name of the Sequoia—and goodfellowship and blessings on both! | In the evening a reception will be held, and an exhibition of some artist members of the club may form a motif. But of course, the vital interest w center in the appointments of the new club-home. And herein does the club stand alone. In the seven rooms of the new home there’s not a chair, a table, a tabouret, a picture or a picture frame that is not the handiwork of a club member. Now, isn’t that a thing to be proud of? You can't say until you see them? —that’s true, but when you do, you'll declare them ideals of simplicity and | elegance—in perfect accord with the club’s_personality and purposes. | On the other side of the building. known as the Lloyd, is the French Club. Now, a fine spirit of neighborliness exists twixt the two clubs—who use the front stairs in common. To be sure, housewives in flats, with stairs | in common, ofttimes go to war over| { who shall clean them. It is believed that the ethicz hevein involved has been solved by the boards | of directors of the respective clubs. | There is in prospect a joint bowling {alley and many other interesting | phases of club fun. To be sure, these achievements have | meant much work for the directors. | But what of that, so long as the Knocker lost his quarry? . e e Count Von Schmidt of Los Angeles | | entertained a supper party at the| Palace last night. entertaining Mrs. Lydia Burrage of Pa; Mrs. Isabella Whitney, Dr. and Mrs. Loefler of New Orleans, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Schmidt of New Orleans. . . = Miss Elizabeth J.

No such another lively and | enthusiastic atmosphere hzs pervaded the great marble hallway since this season of brilliant opera | began.

The result is a general breakdown. CURES This state of affairs could be avolded if every one was careful to test urine as soon as they felt the first backache.

The local doctors could do nothing for me, and I had no relief at all after two years’ doctorin until I began to take Warner's Saf Cure. The first bottle helped me. I con- tinued to use it, taking six bottles in all. Your medicine did what my doc tors failed to do—it cured me. I am ealth than I have enjoved re.”-—Miss Mabel Brown, Mont- a. WARNER'S SAFE CURE is purely vegetable and contains no harmful drugs. It does not constipate, it is a most valuable and effective tonic, it is a stimulant to digestion and awakens the torpid liver. putting the patient into the very best receptive state, for ! the work of the restorer of the 'kid- s neys. It prepares the tissu soothes inflammation and irritation. stimulates i the enfeabled organs and heals at the same time.

Warner's Safe Cure is now put up in two regular sizes and sold by all drug- gists, or direct, 50 ‘cents and $1 a bottle. Refuse substitutes.. There is “just as good” as Warner's Safe Cure.
