In the social columns of Fridays
Times an item appeared to the effect
that party of young people who drove
out to Sierra Madre Villa. last Wednes-
day, found that the hotel had been
closed by the sheriff, and were obliged
to go on to the Hotel San Gabriel. This
is entirely incorrect; no such party
came to the Villa, nor has the house
been closed since it was opened Novem-
her I'd, under the management of III. L.
Barnard.
