I am sure that the several pictures

COMMONPLACE,


 Aug. 22.-The chapel was filled last Sunday with the people who gathered to hear Mrs. Thomas Barnes of Pasade- na give her impressions of southern California. Friends were present from Mt.

This, combined with her rare descriptive powers, charming man. ners, fine presence and clear voice made her address very interesting and in- structive.
