Text Appearing Before Image:
nd orange grovesthat surrounded the club-house, and lived in happy, serene,contented peace, and when he looked upon the grow-ing date palms, the Japanese persimmons, and a thousandand one flowering shrubs that spoke of the semi-tropicalOrient, and then caught sight of that pure turquoisesky that is as much the natural possession of Arizonaas it is of the Orient, all he needed was the singing ofthe bul-bul, famed songster of tradition, legend, his-tory and poetry, to feel that he was in charming Arabia,Persia or India. This institution, as its name implies, is indeed a fam-ily club, giving real home comforts to those who do notcare either for housekeeping or ordinary hotel life.All the family, from the baby to grandpa and grandma,can be included in the membership. There are resi-dent memberships for people whose homes are in Ingle-side, Phcenix and nearby cities and towns and non-resident memberships are enjoyed by many distinguishedand well-known people who live North, East and South.

Phoenix and the Salt River Valley 441 There are rooms in the club-house for those who de-sire, and other members with their families occupybungalows and cottages, which are ideally located in theorange groves. Just as in ones own country home he grows his ownvegetables and fruits, has his own chickens which sup-ply eggs and broilers, and cows that give a superabun-dance of rich, pure milk, cream, butter and cheese, sodoes the Ingleside Club. Just as one goes from his own home on family pic-nics, so he does here, for there are a score or more ofthe most charming, delightful, unique and romanticspots within easy distance, by motor or otherwise, ofthe club, and those who wish to drive daily can go fora month finding some new destination of peculiar inter-est each day. Of course it is not necessary to state that this is nota sanitarium or health-resort in the ordinary and ac-cepted sense of the terms. It is no more these, than agood, tender, well-cooked beefsteak, a chicken or finestveget
