while there. From Coronado we visited
Pasadena, the most beautiful little
city in Southern California a nice
place to live in winter, but in Jun
mer so hot the flies cannot live, so L
am informed. The mountains come
right up 10 it on the north and east,
and the reflection from the sun in
the summer time makes 1t very
warm.
From Pasadena we visited River
side, the best watered city we have
seen. The city contains about 5000
inhabitants end covers about ffty-two
square miles. In the residence por-
ton nearly every yard contains from
five to twenty acres, and all planted
in orange and lemon trees. We
drove down n emu about six
miles and could scarcely see a house,
so thick were the orange trees. We
could see the nice, open d~riveways,
and sometimes the tops of the houses.
1t is a beautiful, quiet place. We
next visited Redlands and took
a drive through Smiley Heights.
Redlands shows evidence of much
wealth, and it is nip and tuck be
tween il and Pasadena for beauty and
grandeur. Now we remember Eu-

Where bells don't ring nor whistles blow

And I'd have stiffness all .round"
So to Catalina island we start. We
left Los Angeles by railroad and went
to San Pedro, a distance of twenty
FIVE miles, and took the Hermosa. a
little steamer about $50 feet long.
Catalina lies off to the south and
west about twenty-five miles. We
were soon on the ocean and as luck

bow of the boat to e. the whales and

stewardess was kept busy for the
balance of the trip. 1t takes two
and a half hours to make the run.
MY Irish instinct told me to remain

the crowd.
We found Catalina all that is
claimed for it. "No bells ring there

here lou are outside of the noisy
world for a while-everything is so
different from any other place-the
people move slow, speak slow aud are
slow. Fishing and boating are the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. They have nice
golf grounds and tennis court. 1t is
quite a resort for California people
during the summer, and here is
where we find the wonderful glass
bottom boats, We enjoyed a half
day in one of these boats and found
the beauty of the ocean bed marvel
Gus and fascinating. The tourists
must not fail to visit Catalina.
After doing Catalina we came to
Santa Monica-by-the-Sea. Fora nice,
quiet place to rest this is the best
place OF all to be in touch with the
outside world. 1t is on the ocean
nineteen miles west of Los Angeles,
and has telegraph and telephone con-
nections with the surrounding coun-
try. Street cars leave the Hotel
Arcadia every hour for Los Angeles.
They have elegant fishing, surf
bathing, plunge bath, etc. 1t is not
SO expensive here, and everything at
the Arcadia is first-class and it is an
up-to-date hotel.
