SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 3.-It is so
pleasant to know something that is
not known by every one, that number
Of the fashionables of Santa Barbara
and Montecito enjoyed themselves i'm
mensely last year. for certain little
bird had whispered word of the
wooing of William Norman Campbell
and Mrs. Rebecca Stoddard Crane.
Those who were wise knew that
there would be a wedding some time
before long and now that the news has
come from New York of the maria ge
Of the two. Santa Barbara people are
shaking their heads over the fact that
they have been done out of another
festivity. It is really reprehensible
and should be punishable in some way.
And others have done the very same
thing. courting under the giant live
oaks of Montecito or on the noted
beach at Santa Barbara and then hieing
themselves east for the ceremony. that
every right minded person knows
should have taken place in home
church, with a reception following.
What is the use of a wedding that is
solemnized thousands of miles from
home? OF course, there is some en-
ioyment vet to come for Santa Bar
barans in the instance of Mr.. and Mrs.
Campbell, for they are to occupy the
home in upper State street that the
groom bought from Joel Remington
Fithian. when that genial gentleman
and his petite and pretty wife took
seriously to ranch life and concluded
TO live the year around at their Car
penteria ranch.
The bride has lived the most of
her life in, Montecito and Campbell
came here last year with his daughter,
Miss Marian Campbell, to spend the
winter and found Cupid in ambush.
Still, if the two are feted as is planned
they will be glad that they returned
as they plan to do. in December.
Santa Barbara may well be called
the great come back city, for those
who once spend q season here return
as sure as the season rolls around.
The Commercial club is seeking far
and wide for a slogan for Santa Bar
bara. and it is so determined TO get
one that il has offered IS to the one
who shall furnish the right word or
set of words. It was at a solemn meet
ing of the organization last week tnat
member arose, and in a dignif1ed
manner remarked: 1T seems too bad
that Carolyn Wells-I think that is
the young woman's name-has already
coined the slogan, The Smile That
Won't Come on for she might have
advertised herself widely by getting a
/ sobriuuet for fair Santa Barbara. And
no one cracked a smile. There may be
q reason for that. The phrases and
poems-or so they are designated for
purposes of identification-are read or
told at each meeting now.
ALI. THE ~BIG" MEN ATTRACTED
If there is a class of people who know
a good thing when they see 1T, railroad
presidents ought to know that thing
when it is a town or state, and they
do. for many of them have winter
homes in Montecito and Santa Barbara.
When J. Hobart Moore. president OF the
Rock Island arrives it is time TO put
the Thanksgiving turkey in a small
pen to fatten. Moore is always accom-
panied by his wife and his chic daugh-
ter in law. Mrs Nathaniel Moore,
widow of his son Mrs. Nat is an adj
vocate of nlannish attire for horse
back and. as she is as pretty as q
picture, it is a liberal education to see
her saunter through the Potter lobby.
