the sea breezes or the cool winds from the
mountains. The mornings are foggy
which saves the country from the desc
lation of the desert regions and freshens
the air, clearing it Of dust and pre-
venting an unpleasant dryness.
In Los Angeles, we were scarcely at
our hotel before Mrs. Schell and her
son Walter, were on espot looking for
us. Mrs. Schell took me for most
delightful trip in her electric car about
the residence portion Of the city while
Walter took Mr.. Steinhauser about the
business section. We found charming
German eating house where we secured
meals cooked in the excellent German
style at very reasonable prices. The
air of home-like friendliness impelled
us to return there whenever we were
near enuf at meal times and we shall
long remember our visits there. Thurs
day Mrs. Schell arranged gathering
of New Ulm people at this cafe and we
spent a happy evening with them.
Among the guests were Mr.. and Mrs. c.
Smith, Mr.. and Mrs. Hugo Theobald,
Miss Emile Helm, Miss Emile Bein-
horn, Mrs. Frances Boesch, and her son,
Fred j. Miller, Mrs. Viola Frederick and
Mrs. Louise Stamm of St. Paul who
happened to be in the city. All of these
New Ulm people are looking we'll and
happy I had time to visit but one of
their homes, that Of Mrs. Frederick and
Mrs. Schell. They have very pretty
place in one of the residence sections
and seem to be very happy here. When
we passed thru Los Angeles again yester-
day on our way here from San Diego
the Smiths were at the station to speed
us on our way and to decorate us with
some of the many beautiful flowers
found in their city. This courtesy was
but another example of the spirit of the
people of that city who wish all visitors
to receive but pleasant impressions of
their beautiful Southern California home.
If Minnesotans were as thoroughly
imbued with the spirit of showing only
the pleasant side of life at home, our
great state might soon become as famous
as this land of sun and flowers for we
have many pleasant things to show
also, which when offered in the right
way would make an appeal to visitors
which would not soon be forgotten.
Officially also we were most pleasantly
entertained at Los Angeles. Every day
was crowded with pleasures. There
was visit to Long Beach where we saw
the wonderfully beautiful Virginia Hotel.
A number of the party had their first
dip in the sea there but we reserved that
for another time when we would be less
hurried. A splendid supper was served
to us by the civic bodies of Long Beach
at one of their beautiful parks. Re-
turning home we we're invited to visit
the ''Clansman" said to be the most
stupendous movie production of this
country. We had to cut out this part
of the program on account of the engage
ment with the New Ulmers. Another
evening we were all taken out to the
mission Play. It was staged in a
theatre built in the restored San Gabriel
pleasant way I ever had of learning the
history of any section of the country.
Any one coming to Southern California
should not miss seeing this play 1t is
educating as we'll as highly entertaining.
A drive to Pasadena occupied the last
morning of our stay in the city of Los
Angeles. 1t would be .tiresome to you
if I were to recount all that we have
seen and heard.
! At San Diego which we reached Friday
evening we had not quite so pleasant a
time. The hotel at which we stopped,
the St. James, ran up it's prices above
the quoted schedule and that caused
some hard feeling among the editors
but one can not have all smooth sailing.
The city provided every courtesy in the
way of transportation and exposition
fees. We were we'll taken care Of. The
exposition was most pleasing and we
are very glad that we were given the
opportunity to visit it. We spent one
whole day at the grounds and felt then
that we had only dipped into the ex-
hibits. We did learn however, that
the people in this section can teach us
much about the way to boost by dis
playing the products. The artistry
exhibited in the preparation Of the
fruits, flowers and manufactures con-
stantly challenged our admiration. We
take off our hats without reservation to
the ability Of the Californian when it
comes to putting the best foot forward.
It surely is wonderful land and the
people have done wonders with it when
