A long time ago we were promised n book on
California, written by Beatrice Harraden,
who herself went there to gain health in the
golden climate. This little volume Of eight
chapters has only two written by Miss Harra-
den. They tell in a eIightfully-pretty fash.
ion Of the climate and flowers aud walks and
drives; of the trouble in getting help; Of the
beautiful sunsets, and Of the birds and fishes.
The other six chapters by DR.. Edwards are
concerning the climate in the different parts
of the State of its effects invalids suffering
from various troubles. There are thermome-
trio and rainfall tables and sunshine records to
make tho suggestions and warnings more exact.
Altogether it is quite delightful little book
for the general reader, though its primary pur-
pose is to help tho invalid to decide upon
suitable climate.
