After arriving in Los Angeles We
went 70 the hotel and rested awhile
and were 0 visiting the business
portion Of the city. 1t Is 4 beautiful
city and the homes are far apart and
It Is often named The Bungalow
City The flowers and palm trees
add to the beauty and grandeur Of the
homes as wei as to the City. The
business houses are grand, some Of
stores have q remarkable way Of
showing their goods by the stores
plate glass fronts which are lowered
and raised at the instance ofthe prop
rietors and are kept open all day for
the purpose Of displaying their store

being revolved by means Of electric
ity in order that the ~passer-by might
have an opportunity Of observing the
latest styles and fashions.
We went to Eas. Lake Park and

ers, green houses and the lake. We
next visited the Ostrich Farm. The
ostriches are all the same color

old when the females turn gray and
the males brown. One ostrich was
hitcbed to a cart and drove over part
Of the farm. Each ostrich eggs
weighs about three pounds and is
thus equivalent to about two dozer
ordinary hen eggs,
Sunday morning we went to Mass
at the Cathedral, which was beautiful
Carnations and roses are so plentiful
that they can be purchased outside Of
the Cathedral and in nearly every
block in the business portion of the
city for five cents per dozen.
We took a side trip to San Diego
and had the great pleasure of seeing
the Exposition. All the exhibits were
fine. In the Educational building are
shown pictures concerning work ac.
complished by the school children
from the different states. The ideas
of seat work from the different
schools are grand and will be a great
assistance to other teachers.
Some of the things of interest which
we saw in the Manufacturing Build
ing were:-Gow, maid and pail made
of butter, natural size; a man making
jars, vases and dishes of clay; horse
made of hops; COW and chickens made
of seeds.
