Ho for Santa Barbara!

Society, or at least large part of
it, went "autoing' yesterday, with
Santa Barbara as the destination. They
did not come home yesterday, and that
is why Santa Barbara will look like a
small edition of Los Angeles
today. With touring cars and
runabouts they started out in
the most perfect trim. Women
in natty gowns and automobile
coats with fetching hats, and men-yes,
even the men can do something very
extra when they go autoing-men in
ulsters chosen-well, perhaps not with
a thought for the most becoming color,
but at least with thought for the one
which suits the machine best. At Santa
Barbara they are being entertained
royalty and will be until the time for the
return trip, which will be made Mon
day..
Among those who made UP the ex-
pedition were Mr.. and Mrs. Donald M
Lee, Messrs. Will Nevin, Oliver P. Po-
sey, jr., Carlton Burke, w. H. Holli-
day and Major H. M. Russell. Mr. and
Mrs. Turner's sister, Mrs. Lucia Bur-
nett, and Messrs. Fritz Fisher and Jack
Gill of Redlands. In G.. A. Bob
rick's car were his daughter Marie
and son Arthur and Thomas O'Neil.
Mrs. Bobrick and Mrs. O'Neil went
down on the train. With DR.. and Mrs.
w. L. Brown of 1918 East Adams
street were Mr.. and Mrs A. R. Brown
and Mr.. James Mitchell, while Mr..
and Mrs. j. M. Danziger's party, who
went in G. A. Canfield's car, in
cluded Misses Florence, Caroline and
Eileen Canfleld and o. B. Smith.

BY THE CHATTERER

Mrs. Rosalind Greene Peasley, club
woman and magazine writer, has
brought out new edition of her little
book "On the Philosophy of Living"
which has been in much demand. Mrs.
Peasley has taken texts from the Bible
and with these for her topics has
preached beautiful little sermons that
carry the message of hope and faith.
The philosophy that she exploits is
simple and inspiring. Those who adopt
it cannot fail to find sweet serenity and
abiding strength.
One of the chief charms of the little
book is its directness and simplicity of
style. There may be something of
heredity in this for Mrs. Peasley is
descended from famous New England
family and her father, Col. Greene, was
one of the foremost journalists. of his
time, leading editor of Boston.
The following paragraphs show the
character of the philosophy of living as
outlined by Mrs. Peasley:
"It is always the minority that forges
ahead and breaks ground upon untried
paths. Pioneers in any line are brave
spirits; it also takes brave spirits to
follow.
Life is progressive, a restless seek
ing and reaching up to our ever higher
ideals. We want to simplify life-rise
above superficialties. Take the best of
all ages, not signing for the flesh-pots
of Egypt when better is at hand, though
untried; in so doing we have nothing to
lose and everything to gain.
What is change but the effect of the
law of growth? AS we grow our ideals
expand. We have been living in the
roots of our existence. We catch
glimpses of light, but it is yet dazzling
to our weak sight. Have hearing ears
and seeing eyesl
"Science is disclosing to man the in
finite possibilities of his nature. Man
now is beginning to see himself as the
flower of the universe, the blossom of
existence The thinkers of this age are
sounding new depths. are breaking all
limitations and catching glimpses OF
the golden age.

Bring our high aspirations forth into
manifestation, not dream them all day
long. Life in greater abundance than
hitherto dreamed of, is manifesting in
man. Lying has become an art. The
age of spiritual awakening has come.
Look within"
