NOTES FROM SOCIETY'S NOTE BOOK
BY THE cHATTERER
Again the summer days roll round;
Again the sounding surf entICes.

Again Ine EOunulnE buTl tIuCtSf
Again the girls are backward bound;
Again the youth in their train are found;
To pay for their creams and cooling
ices.
Upon the beach you'll see them focking,
Each Belinda with her beau;
They don't say much, but their eyes are
To them love is no thing for mocking;
From Adam and Eve twas ever so.
Already society folk have begun to
respond to the call of summer and sea-
side resort and on every hand there are
whisperings of gay affairs to be given
by the sea.
They are either going or have gone
these people who lead the whirl in Los
Angeles-and the Chatterer grows fear
full that the halls of merrymaking may
be deserted entirely.
There will be many of them, too, and
almost as varied as the winter enter
tainments in town have been. Yacht
ing parties, jolly house parties and
numerous other affairs are being
planned to take place at Terminal ISL
and. Catalina, Ocean Park, Santa Mon
lea. Redondo and the other beach re-
sorts.
The opening of the Country club
house at Ocean Park during the past
week is one Of the first indications that
seaside charmers are at work. Venice,
too will carry away many people who
might otherwise stay in Los Angeles
during the summer for many will take
the opportunity to attend the assembly
and combine the pleasures of the beach
life with those to be gained from the
educational advantages which will be
offered. Catalina never loses its
charm. and many Of the old lovers Of
the place will go there and open sum-
mer bungaloes, while not a few re-
cruits will also find out it's charms for
the first time.
The beach girl will be the sought
after one. The girl who has laid aside
the calling costume and the evening
gown for the walking skirt and yacht
ing cap; she who throws care to the
winds and dares the sun and salt air
to tamper with her complexion and de-
clines to give more than a frown to a
sunshade.
The exposition. at Portland is taking
a great many people away this sum-
mer and many are even daring enough
to go still farther north and spend
part of their vacations in Alaska.

Caste and Cash

How to avoid the appearance Of con yentionality is one of the hardest problems that confront cur provincial aristoeracy. IL is second only in i'm portance to that high achievement. the stimulation Of well bred indifference to what the world thinks. To prove ones right to be numbered Of the caste Of We're de We're one must be untram- meled by old fashioned customs and moth eaten prejudices founded on me diaeyal sentiment. The distinction be tween the representative Of the up to date aristocraey of wealth branded with the hall mark of the elect and the mere pretentious climber is that the latter. uncertain as 10 his footing. Is something of a hypoerite and pauses to consider effect. He does not enjoy that freedom of restraint that gives an air of abandon 10 the new rich who are already high and dry on the upper crust.-San Francisco Town Talk.

Raglan Castle.

Raglan. near Monmouth, in England. Is pre-eminent among English castles. as Heidelberg among those upon the Rhine. It's towers and halls have rich hue given by the red sandstone of which they are built. It has q mighty tower that was half destroy ed after it's last great siege SD that it might not trouble the enemy again. For here after his fatal battle at Naseby.

NOBILITY OF TREES.
A Tribute to the Majesty of tho
 Mighty Oak.

Directly in my path stood an ancient swamp white oak, the greatest tree. think. that have ever seen. It was not the highest nor the largest round, per haps. but individually. spiritually. the greatest Hoary. hollow and broken limbed his huge boie seemed encircled with the centuries. and in this green and grizzled top all the winds of heav. en had some time come.
 One could worship in the presence Of such tree as easily as in the shadow of a vast cathedral. Indeed. what Is there built with hands that has the dig nifty, the majesty. the dignity, of lifef And what life was here! Life whose beginnings lay so far back that could no more reckon the years than l could count the atoms it had builded into this majestic form.
 Looking down upon him from twice his height loomed tulip poplar, clean. boiled for thirty feet and in the top all green and gold with blossoms. It was a resplendent thing beside the oak, yet how unmistakably the gnarled old mon- arch wore the crown, His girtb more than balanced the poplar's great height, and, as for blossoms. nature knows the beauty of strength and inward majesty and has pinned no boutonniere upon the oak-Dallas Lore Sharp in Nation al Magazine

The Man In the Iron Mask.

All the best informed persons of my time have always thought that this famous history was founded upon the capture and captivity of Mattioli, a Piedmontese political prisoner. who died in the Bastile in 17o3. In those days prisoners were made to wear masks when travelling, but 1t would be more exact to say mask the color of iron. All the details which Yoltaire added were simply fabulous and laugh able, and I think you will find that my theory of the iron mask is the right one.-From the French Noblesse.

The final "e" is very high note, sort of prolonged screech that resounds for long distances through the bush and thus enables separated persons to as- certain their relative positions. On one notable occasion this peculiar cry was heard in London \ daring bushranger made his appearance one morning in front of a bank in Ballarat and coolly posted q notice on the door to the ef feet that the place would be closed for an hour
 Entering. he terrorized the officials with his revolver and got clear away with $30,000.

POWER OF PURPOSE.
Conceive Your Ambition Clearly and
 Follow It CourageousIy

We all can measure the outward tri- umph of a mans life. but we rarely measure the forces out of which the triumph sprang. Men suddenly emerge into the blaze of fame. and then the world wakes up and wonders how it has all happened. There is no such thing as luck in any world over which God presides What, then, is the se- cret: It is purpose The great vieto- ries which men praise are always won first of all in mans own soul. The great men who stamp themselves in effaceably on the ages are always the men who are capable of conceiving a purpose clearly and of following it courageously through evil and good re- port. You may sweep aside as rela- lively trivial all questions of the range of their gifts, the scope of their intel- lectual life. The great thing which you have to reckon with is the im- mense strength and heroic persistency Of their purpose.-W. J. Dawson.
