SUNSHINE FROM
 OCEAN TO OCEAN.

That unique and widespread organiza- | tion the International Sunshine Society, | the founder and president general or which is Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden. | has given evidence of it's wondrous ex- tent and influence by it's "Trip to Cali | fornia," as graphically told in the last ] issue of The Sunshine Bulletin. From that interesting monthly organ I of the society 1 have gathered the fol- | lowing items ion The Advertiser: There was scarcely a. town through which the Sunshine train passed that did not hold Sunshines-all along the route going and returning the stations were filled with Sunshiners to hail and good speed the travellers.
 The Womans Special train that con veyed the members of the various wo- mems clubs of the whole country to Los Angeles where the great Federation of their clubs met this year, carried one special car for the Sunshiners which they entered when the train reached Albany. N. Y. They found their car there beau- tifully decorated by one of the finest decorators in that magnificent city. Mrs. Whish and Miss Martin. officers of the Albany Circles of Sunshiners. headed Reception Committee to welcome and greet the New York members. Each one found his or her name printed on card

 St. Louis Mo. was lavish in hospitai- ties and greetings. Courtesies were ex tended to the Sunshiners by hotels as we'll as private houses. The Letter Car riers Band furnished the music.
 At Hot Springs, Ark. carriages took the guests to the Arlington Hotel where they found rest rooms and an elaborate reception. The rooms were decorated taI ha ,oIn .f thn iAfx A tally ho ride wound up the welcome that sped the parting guests.
 Texas vied with Arkansas in honoring the ecXursioniSts. At San Antonio, Fl Paso, Maria and Santa Barbara, recep- tions. bands of music. flowers, souvenir cards. ribbons. decorations, rides and drives marked the enthusiasm of the peo- pie in this wonderful Sunshine Society movement.
 What does it all mean? Let us not stop to imagine as yet, but simply tell the story. At Kansas City where there is a Sunshine Band of Mercy, ten thousand strong, one hundred and fifty ladies pre- pared to meet the visitors, but the train was late. Then Mrs. Mckenzie. President of the Sunshine Band of Mercy, assisted by the Athenaeum Club. came to the rescue. furnishing flowers and sunshine quotations to every traveller
 LOS AHSeIeS pltcHeu d IdHlnN tent the Sunshiners where every comfort, rest, rooms a dressing room. reading room and reception parlor. along With a matron, was supplied. The chidren's branches kept the place supplied with flowers while the seniors saw that noth- ing was lacking. Even letter paper with the Sunshine Tent" heading was found therein.
 San Francisco did her part The Al den Club" ladies placed flowers at each plate when the travellers breakfasted at the California Hotel and ap elaborate sunshine luncheon was furnished the guests at the Cliff House.
 Denver and Chicago extended similar appropriate greetings with decorations, souvenirs and good cheer" for travellers. As there are seventeen Sunshine Presi- dents in Chicago their united efforts can better be imagined than describd
 When will be haze a Sunshine Carnival in DiiXe-in Montgomery?
