We saw the parade at the flower festi-
val and of course it was a beautiful sighf.
The cavaliers, horses, harness, vehicles,
floats and everything in the procession
were laden with flowers, the blooms hid
ing everything. That they were lovely
aud in exquisite taste goes without say
ing and the scene beggars description.
One must see such sights to be able to
form a perfect con, option of them. San
ia Barbara is slow and has u large per-
centage Of Spanish and Mexicans among
its population. e-*i
We left Santa Barbara for Los All
geles, going direct, and arrived there
Friday to be welcomed in, hearty styie
by Mr.. aud Mrs. Lester Osborne and Mr.

open sc same to all fetes, and treated us
royalty during our stay. The next morn
ing we skipped out Tor Redlands where
We met Scipio Craig of the Redlands
Citograph. He is hale, hearty and fun
loving and of most generous hospitality.
At Redlands we took tallyhos for a drive
about Smiley Heights and during that
drive we saw scenery of unsurpassing1
beauty. 1t was delightfully."- charming
in its picturesqueness and to make a
home q man could not lind . more ,beah-

Redlands and its environments. stf
We left our car at Redlands and took
the motor, via San Bernardino for River

Times as guide, Riverside is a beautiful
place and q city OF elegant; residences,

with golden fruit. 1t WAS a feast of
fruit and flowers and scent of, orange
blossoms that was appreciated and 'ets-

While our. car vas ut Redlands it had
been decorated by the placing Of lovely

Sunday morning the Southern Pacific
Company gave US a fide to Santa Monica
where we took in the sights and the lux
ury of a bath in salt water. We strolled
along the wharf, were pleased with the
harbor, and had a fish dinner at Eokerts.
We viewed the Soldiers Home and took
a walk through the grounds of Senator
Jones' home in California. We're it not
for the ocean brine We might have wept.
At Los Angeles, during our entire stay,
we we're given the freedom Of the Bur-
bank theatre by Fred Cooper, and not
content with that, the doors Of his beau-
tiful home were thrown open to us, and
Fred, his wife and his daughter, George,
entertained us with u~nbounded hospital

and we only wait a chance to recipro-

We took a tallyho ride to Pasadena,
Santa Anita, Lucky Baldwin's ranch
and stables, San Gabriel Mission, etcs,
returning to Los Angeles in time to
attend n performance OF the Los Angeles
Theatre, rs the guest OF Lester Osborne.
The next day wesaw the city looted by
merry maskers for the La Fiesta Y Ieem;
the cage where the looters put police
men who interfere with them. The
devil has charge of them then. Our
girls were pelted were colored paper
wads until they looked like babes in the
woods.
Tuesday evening WE went to the pavil-
