hardly realized that it was a thing OF the
past until spring dawned radiantly upon
them. Spring also sped along in rapid
fight and We have now only a week be-
tween rs and summer.
With summer will come the usual hegira
of people o the numerous pleasure and
health resorts with which cur State is
dotted. Chicago, with lis Columbian Expo
sitiou, Will claim many of our people but
lie consensus of opinion is that they will
not remain away long.
The exposition Will be seen as one views a
passing regiment; then the travellers will
return u Join their friends at the resorts
they affect. Those who remain OH the
coast Will distribute themselves as they
always do; some to see Alaska's glaciers,
others to inspect the wonders of pictuIe sque
Yosemite, to bask in the balmy air Of
southern California. or TO seek the pretty
dells and fiOwer-decked meadows of the
foothills. OF course the seashore will claim
ana secure lis usual contingent, and there
viii be much gayetY at Del Monte, Santa
Cruz, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Re-
dondo and Coronado beach.
