Santa. Barbara has a great many
"mother's little angels" and they are
all Just as cute as they can be, but a
trite saying of little cherub the other
day beats them all. His mother had
told him he should not 60 out until
after the rain had stopped. The little
fellow felt very bad, and sat poutingly
at the window, looking ont. Presently
he Jumped down, and, running to his
mother, said in childish tones. "Oh,
mamma, Gods shut the lain off; amt
he dandy?'
Work on the boulevard is progressing
somewhat slowly of late, for the simple
reason that Contractor Mahoney ia ad-
verse to doing work according to specifi-
cations. He has had his men work hour
after hour on portions of the breakweter
wall that had already been condemned
by the city's overseer, and in the end
would tear the whole business down.
The job is to be a good one when fin
ished, though it is hard getting the
work done properly. The stone work is
about completed, and as soon as the
lumber arrives the boulevard proper
will be pushed ahead with all haste
The drive will be beautiful when com
pleted, and ere many years it will be
one OF Southern California's famou:
features for the pleasure seeker
