marvellous.
Finds Valley Prosperous
u have trayersed practically all
Of II today and | have seen the
march Of progress and prosperity on
every side. Their homes are pros
porous looking and their citrus
ranches seem well developed and
bearing fruit hat will more than re-
pay their owners for the labor they
have expended
In referring TO the American girl
which seems TO have greatly impress
&c her Ladyship. she said:
Il am greatly impressed with the
young people Of America. IL seems
to be that your girls are %extraordi-
narily well turned out and they all
seem to be we'll dressed. How is that
women begin TO accomplish things
at such an early age in America? On
ali sides of me / see young women
already prominent in many lines.
MY trip to your country has been
an enjoyable one and / only wish
that my stay here might be extended.

your Valley as 1 would like to see,
to say nothing Of the other parts of
your boundless state and nation"
