Who We're There.

Jolly one, to use the phraseology of one
the Los Angeles bellies, at Santa Monica,
and the beach and town has been
crowded by lively, fun-loving crowd
who have bathed in the surf, watched
with interest the excellent tennis
matches put up by the experts at the
tournament, driven to the canon,
Soldiers home, arch rock, and the os-
trich farm and-firsed of course trife.
The social side of life has been full of
events which would make any less pop
ular resort greatly elated, there being
musicals, hops, socials innumerable and
two swell balls at the Arcadia.
The first of these was the tennis ball
given last Thursday evening under the
auspices OF the Lawn Tennis association
of Southern California, when the bril-
liantly lighted ballroom, with its myriad
of electric lights, was artistically and
appropriately decorated.
The gathering was representative
one. The ladies and lassies who
played tennis SO we'll were in attend
ance from all the various quarters OF
sunland and proved that they could
dance as well as they could play
society's favored game. At midnight a
halt was ordered and the assem- blage
sat down to a collation. in the dining
room which was fairly alive with the
buds and blossoms OF Santa Monica
(Flora's kingdom).

ball took place and there was one of the
largest gatherings of the season. An

entertainment. Among those present
