FR|SCANS EVIDENCE
SHRINE INTEREST
AND HOSPITALITY
Past Week in Californian
Metropolis Has Been
Dominated by Meet of
Great National Order
Given to Joviality.

Everything of a social nature in
San Francisco this past week has
been secondary to the colorful and
festive meeting of Mystic Shriners.
This order has been called the 'play-
ground of Masonry" but seemingly
everybody, irrespective of signs and
passwords, has entered into the
gaiety.
Most of the festivity has been on
Market street, in the hotels and at
the clubs, but there has been a deal
of rather impromptu private enter
tainment as well.
The papers have said so much
about the Shrine gathering that there
is almost nothing to add. 1t all may
be summed up by saying that the
week past has been a continual round
of band playing, color Haunting,
joviality and sprightliness.
San Francisco society has accepted
the occasion at face value and is en-
tering into the occasion with cor
diality that is reputed second nature
to 'Franciscans.

OUT OF DOORS CALLING SOCIETY AS SEASON ADVANCE
SANTA BARBARA LURES
MANYHONEYMOONERS

Santa Barbara is just now making
the most determined bid for summer
visitors, of all the determined bids
coming cut of California. Those
seeking summer rest and pleasure
confess that the beauty of Santa
Barbara is winning them. 1t bears
the impress of four regimes-the In
dian, Spanish, Mexican and Amer
lean.
Cabrillo was the first white man to
gaze upon it's beauties-which was in
the year 1912. Santa Barbara was
one of the resting points on the oldS-
"El Canine Real" and the beloved
Padre Junipero Sierra selected it as
the site for a Central Mission, be-
cause of its wonderful salubrity of
climate, transcendent beauty of To-
cation and the fertility of its soil"
This mission still stands and is one
of the points of interest that no trav-
eler to California should fail to visit.
Santa Barbara is believed to have
more than fulfilled the destiny which
its early founders foresaw. It is to-
day city of perpetual recreation in
the midst of most marvellous pam
Drama of mountains, sea and islands.
A beautiful sandy beach together
with a spl q did modern plunge af-
fords endless delight to the bathing
enthusiast, while the Channel Is
lands only "a miles off shore are the
objective of many sight-seers and
deep sea fishing enthusiasts.
In Montecito, Santa Barbara has
one of the most beautiful suburbs in
the country, while adjoining the city
on the north is the Santa Barbara
National Forest.
Santa Barbara is fortunate, say it's
admirers, in its hotels-among the
best known OF which are the Arlong-
ton, Samarkand and Ell Encanto.
The Arlington is modern place but
with all the traditions of the Span
ish- California days of hospitality
still maintained. 1t has a capacity
for $50 guests.
The Samarkand Persian Hotel and
Gardens is one of the most beautiful
and unusual caravansaries in Cali
fornia. 1t has fine location on its
own hill of more than 80 acres. II is
reported favorite of honeymooners.
containing no less than so bridal
suites.
The FL Encanto Hotel and Bun
galows are located on Mission Ridge,
500 feet above the level of the sea,
surrounded by spacious lawns and
acres of the most wonderful shrub
berry and flowers.
The city's slogan is, sIf you like
California, you'll love Santa Bar
bara."
