LINCOLN HOTEL. LOS ANGELES, Cal,
March A-To the Editor Of The Bee: l
stood today on the hills that overlook and
comprise Pasadena the loveliest spot on
earth.
God smiled when He made Pasadena. A
divine uplift Is in the matchless landscape
in the fiower-wreathed emerald hills, in
the mountains purple canons in the sweet
pure. fragrant air and in the tender. blue
sky that garlands all Far up on the noun
tains the sun glistened on the domes of.the
Lowe and Wilson observatories-it flooded
the hillside and valley with slory-it kissed
to gold the crap fruit and the orange.
Far-famed Rome was built on seven hills
Here there are half a hundred or more
from the gentle grassy knoll to majestic old
Badly. crowned in everlasting SHOWS. God
is everywhere, but here is the holy of
holies, His best beloved temple. Here you
can feel the touch of His fingers and hear
the rustic OF an angels wings Here you
have a sermon of exaltation, OF love more
perfect than any preached by priest or
prelate. Here YOU bow I'm wonder before
the Maker Of the earth and the heavens.

is impossible to overdraw or even describe
the beauties of Pasadena. As we'll try to
paint the lovelight in your mothers eyes
when she held you babe in her arms AS
well try to picture the gories Of a NOON
light night or the beauty Of a Nebraska
sunset
Pasadena Paradise.
Long ago an English poet, a master in
his art, bewailed, as he walked by the sea
and watched the great waves break upon
the rocks, the limitations, the poverty Of
language. Words cannot describe Pass-

little city lies nine miles beyond Los An
gees; that it is about Lao feet above the
sea, twenty miles distant: that there is not
| a shabby home or unsighty spot in the
! city; that even the humblest cottage is
vineclad and picturesque; that l found an
| honest man there-a real estate man at
that-with brown eyes, whose name, Make
| peace, blended exquisitely with the sur
roundings; that here is the Mecca of the
! rich; that I drove down Orange avenue
past the homes of thirty-fiye millionaires
| and multimillionaires; that these rich men,
doubtless remembering the camel and the
needle and desiring to locate in Paradise II
| heavens gates are to be bolted and barred
against them, selected the most command
ing and charming spots for their homes.
On a stately knoll. in a mansion with
his millionaire wife, lives Robert Burdette.
He round Dapusm OF salvation as Wen
as Of wealth, and has discarded his de-
lightful muse and trenchant pen to preach
his new faith in the Baptist church. A
Standard Oil king has erected his castle
on the adjoining heights. A little farther
on may be found the beautiful home Of
Mr.. Blossom, the California bee king.
Around the entire top Of the Lofty building
are flower urns-a slightly roof garden
which / mistook at first for bee hives.
Through fernlike pepper trees, across the
avenue, can be seen the finest mansion in
southern California, Respondent in towers
and In gold and silver hnishings.
And so on past mansion and castle until
you come TO the home OF Adolphus Busch
the St. Louis brewer, at the end of the
broad avenue. which is especially notable
for wonderful gardens and perfect lawns
extending up over terrace on terrace and
