San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-09-09


welcome rain, but much larger
part of it is the still more welcome
sound of returning footsteps OF San
Antonio people who have been away
for the summer.
The first month of fall is, apparent
". one of great activity. Nearly
every one who has been away for
the summer selects September as
proper time TO come back TO the city,
and nearly every one else who hasn't
been, chooses September in which 10
leave. The number of years one mas
acquired has much TO do with whether
one comes or goes in september.
The voting age seems TO be the OVID
ing line. Persons beyond that magic
age who have been away doing all
sorts of delightful things, come home
I filled with fresh swim and wlgor
TO plunge into all the pleasant ac-
tivities that a winter in San Antonio
offers; while the younger people, are
in a wild whirl of preparations for
"going off to school" and in the last
round of perfectly thrilling" fare
well picnics and little parties.
San Antonio people have always
been great travellers, not only in the
summer time when the ostensible
reason for leaving is the heat, but
also in the winter time when bet
ter excuse than heat must be thought
of to justify going away, but TINS
year San Anto:.io people seem TO
have gone particularly far afield.
Among the San ..ntonians who have
been travelling in Europe and who
will return home either in September
or a little later are the Erhardt
Guenthers and their daughter, Miss
Mary Louise. and Miss Marie
Schuchardt; the Winchester kelsos
and Mrs. Herbert Slayden Clarkson;
Mrs. Florida Tunstall Sharpe. Mrs.
Ben A. Stribling and her daughters,
Misses Beatrice and Eleanor: Miss
Star Mcdaniel, NJ. Kruger, and DIR.
and Mrs. H. S. G. Burgin: while the
Cresswells have been even farther
from home travelling in the Orient
San Antonians who will return
from the East sometime in Septem-
Der. either by train or by boat, all
report wonderful times whether they
have spent the summer in the New
England hills, on the Long Island
beaches or on the lakes of Wiscon-
sin or Canada. Prominent in this
group are Mr.. and Mrs. J. i. Browne,
Mrs. J. c. Griswold, Judge and Mrs.
Perry J. Lewis and their daughters,

lightful holiday times in the West are
Mrs. r. B. Martindale and Miss

and Juanita Baskin, and many, many
others. Whether the western trip
has been by motor in California,
Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico or
still farther west and north, up into
western Canada, and even to Alaska,
every one reports n thoroughly in
teresting time, with many beautiful
places visited and many delightful
new friends made.
Mexico has attracted an unusual
number of San Antonio people this
summer both before and after the
official recognition. There is a charm
about that fascinating republic that
| is above and beyond any mere politi-
cal considerations, and that every
one who visits there instantly feels
and succumbs to. II used to think
that all the tales ] heard of the
beauty and charm and wonder of
Mexico were gross exaggerations, be-
fore went down there this summer
and saw it for myself, but now | know
that no one has ever really begun
to do it justice in describing that
magnificent country and the unusual
people one meets there. Ny only re-
greet is that l can never again have
first trip to Mexico, and no second
trip could ever be as wonderful as
this one has BEEN" one visitor who
has recently returned, announces.
Among the visitors who have either
just returned, or Just gone down, are
DIR. and Mrs. William +. Nesbitt.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. r. Lewright. Mrs.
Henry Drought. Mr.. and Mrs. A..
Joske, Major and Mrs. Emmett
Adds, Mr.. and Mrs. David Griffin
and Bertram Simon.
To attempt to give a list Of the
people who have enjoyed trips to
Corpus Christi, is like trying to count
the sands on the beach there or to
number the hairs Of a head-which
