The Little Street. I went to the little street, The little street where she died, And it seemed to me as I turned the square That the very pavements sighed. And the blinds stared, vacant-eyed, When I went to the little street, The little street where she died. I thought of the days when she leaned Out of the casement there. And always watched for *ae. As I turned from the quiet square; And the nights when I watched for the flare Os her lamp at the windowpane— A beacon through the rain.... Last night I went to the street, The little street where she died. But I could not see for my tears. The house of love denied. The winds, like spirits, sighed.... Then a star in heaven flashed Over the street where she died. —Charles Hanson Towne, in Collier’s Weekly. The Ladies’ Afternoon club will meet with Mrs. C. L. Meibers Tuesday afternoon.

IN LOS ANGELES (CONTINUYJB FROM FAOT ONB) least that much longer watching it to pass. But I'll say- thrt it certainly was worth it. Os all the beautiful floats! Oh, I can’t begin to describe them. The Universal Film company bad a grand one. Know that "Revolving sphere” of theirs? Well, on top of their mammoth wagon was the great, large “revolving sphere.” macf' entirely of flowers. They also had some of their wild animals on the float. The Selig Film company, too. was well represented. One particularly beautiful float was composed of mammoth sea shells, made of delicate pink carnations. These shells opened and closed continually, and in each shell was a handsome woman, in the smaller ones, little girls. Oh, if I could just describe them all. You see ail the little towns around here were represented, then the different schools, state schools, lodges, merchants, etc., and it was grand; good bands. “Tipperary," being one of their favorite tunes. Although people who have seen the show often, say it wasn't so good as former years, we who have never seen anythlnk to compare, thought It grand, and the weather was ideal. After ths parade we went up to the city and there met some of Miss Voty’s friends from Hollywood. They were a jo’ly crowd, all married, and we sat for an hour in the park and rested. Some beautiful hotels there; the “Green" hotel is swell. We went in and looked around. You see Pasadena is the home of the millionaires, and they 1 have scores of them. We got back borne at . 5 p. m., and certainly were tired. I went over to the Schuh apartments for a little while. A young Mr. "Skelly," whose mother runs these apartments is from Fort Wayne. I had heard about him and he likewise had heard of me being from Indiana, so you can imagine how we "buzzed” when we got together. 1 think we talked about everybody I ever knew in Fort Wayne and he knew them all. He left there in October, and like us, was a trifle disappointed at first with California, but likes it better now, al though I don't think he intends staying here long. I think he was with Kants in Fort Wayne. Haven’t seen the Coffees since our first Sunday here, we had a call from them and were supposed to spend this Wednesday with Agnes Robinson, but she didn’t know that I was working, so I don’t know when we can go. Next Sunday we are invited out to Mary Heffner M-mre’s for dinner. The Miss Votz. who i.ves with Jessie McLain, is a cousin of Mary Heffner’s. The Coffees are all fine and like California. Agnes and Cal are sure looking fine and their baby is the sweetest thing you ever did see. You’d be surprised to know how perfectly contented Aunt Carrie is. She likes California just fine and never once was homesick. I was homesick one rainy evening. Then Uncle Mellin would say, "Now, Edna, isn’t this better than shoveling snow frack home?" Os course, right then, I imagined I’d prefer the snow. Then I’d take a look at “Old Baldy’ 'and see lots of snow. It's a beautiful sight. Yesterday, going to Pasadena we passed through several orang£ groves and so close to the trees that we could reach out and get oranges. At the same time we could look right up at “Old Baldy” and see heaps of snow. You couldn’t feel it, though. Lots of people went up to the mountains on Christmas and got “snow.” Some boys came down the street with a wagon load of it and threw’ snow-balls. They were quite an attraction. People go up to the mountains and have snow-ball parties. Don’t that sound strange? 1 suppose you are wishing they had some of your snow to shovel, eh? The Christmas crowds were sometMng fierce on Broadway. One could hardly get through. Los Angeles has some beautiful stores and they sure were very busy. Flowers, you could buy on any street corner —carnations, violets, poinsettias, etc. The holly is different here from what we had back home. The community Christmas tree was right in front of the Examiner building. They had it all lighted for several evenings. Then on New Year’s even they erected a large dance floor outside and I wish you could have seen the crowds, and automobiles until you couldn’t get through. This certainly is a noisy town on New Year's eve, and at 12 o’clock it sounded as if there were a million whistles blowing. What did you do that eve? ' Let’s see; that was your birthday, wasn’t, it? Did you get the tie pin?. . I'm crazy about those Blister pearls. ■ They are very popular here. Hope > you liked it. i We were out to Schabacher’s on i 49th street the other evening. En- : joyed the visit very much. They have I a beautiful bungalow. This is a city 3 of bungalows. t Anther thing here, is the number of “chocolate shops.” Some of them are beautiful. One can get anything . from a soda to a dinner. The wait- - resses are dressed in light blue uni- ’ forms with white Dutch caps and

aprons, and the boys are dressed in the same color. Well, I haven't seen Warren Kerrigan yet, but did I tell you that I passed Bob Leonard on the street one evening. Came "moping” along, just like he does in the pictudes. I felt i like saying. “Helio,” but I didn’t. His mother has worked in the book section at Bullocks’s for a long time. 1 see her often. They are "Mary Pickard” crazy out here and when she’s on at any of the theaters, you can stand for an age waiting for a ticket. Everything is moving pictures, so much so that when another show does come, they have to advertise, "not motion pictures,” or every one will expect to see pictures. Well, I must quit, or you never will get through reading. I’m sure you must be tired. Give our regards to all who ask and say that we wish them all a Happy New Year. With lots of love to you all. and wishing you were here, I’m your sister, EDNA. P. S. —Throw a snow bail for me. —.— o COURT HOUSE NEW 3.
