Ingersoll on California

In a recent magazine article. Mr. Ernest
Ingersoll, the noted writer, says:
1.-THE climate of Southern California IN
winter closely resembles that of Egypt.
It's equability is constant, and its drynesS
is proverbial. The only complaint made Is
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now and
then that rousing storm would give them
grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fed from a superhuity of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise and to the In
valid dreading the advance of disease, the
STILL arid atmosphere is as the breath OF
life.
