A Sketch Of Spanish California
By EIep-or G.. Walton



Lisa, mia bonita, bring thy guitar
and sing to me. ! am weary, my child,
and would have they voice to soothe
me-"
The little village OF San Gabriel was
drowsy with the feeling of a perpetual
summer afternoon. Long shadows and
a golden summer atmosphere were
over all. There was a faint droning
as Of bees. There was nothing doing.
There are few things worth striving
for in this world. Peace alone is
worth the struggle. The peace which,
to some degree, may be in this life is
nearer idealization In these old Fran
ciscan missions among the olive lands
Of California than anywhere else. The
peace there cannot be put into words.
1t is in the air, and II is like the
breath Of a sainted nun. The dust lies
thick in the crooked paths. the solemn
old mission overlooks all, and one al
most expects to find the print of IAN
dals and to hear the chant Of the "Te
Deum."
The voice OF the natives, inherited
from their Spanish ancestors, is soft
and musical. Bright scarfs v
v tresses. There are glimpses Of
feet in high-heeled slippers, tawdry
lace and cheap jewelry, the love of
ornament inherited from mother
Spain.
There was no wind and no noise un.
I'll evening came on. bringing the cool
breeze that stirred the beautiful palm
and pepper trees that all through
the hot day had remained motionless.

its brown walls crumbling with age
