GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17. 1914

The following delightfully newsy California letter from Mrs. Pearl E. Tyner, who is spending several months there, will be read with interest. _„r "Randall Court,

1

V, "Lon Beach, Cal., "Sept. 2, 1914. "Editor Daily Reporter:^: "I promised to write a "California letter to The Daily Reporter, but have been waiting from day to day to find the time to do it. I have at last given up in despair. For one who has nothing whatever to do, I find the least time to do it imaginable. "The lure of California soon drapes its all enveloping mantle about the unsuspicious 'tourist,' proceeds to absorb him or hypnotize him into a state where he is able to swear by all that's good or bad that he is a Californian, was born a Californian and will always be a Californian, so there! Among many things found to admire in the 'Golden State' is that, if they take your money (and they take it all right) they certainly do use it to make things look so beautiful and attractive, that you can't help a feeling of pride that some of your money is in it. "It is not as if California had selfishly deposited your dollar in the depths of its capacious pocket where it would be black in the face before it can get a breath of air again, but when you can meet it some fine day nodding a 'good morning' from a hedge with long, scarlet, ragged robin roses, or the dainty pink-faced La France, or the stately calla lilly—when you drive out in your machine (if you are so fortunate as to have one) unconscious of the blackness of the night and can drive fifteen and twenty miles from any of the large towns over oiled roads as wide and smooth as asphalt and lighted all the way by electricity the air heavy with the perfdme of the flowery hedges when you can fix up your lunch and walk or ride out for an all-day picnic by yourself or otherwise, and can find a beautiful park around almost any old corner you may turn, where you may enjoy the splash of the fountains, the fragrance and beauty of the vines and flowers, listen to the entrancing music of that robber of robbers, the mocking bird, or his rival, an Italian band, discoursing "Madam Sherry" or 'My Old Kentucky Home' (which makes you good and homesick.)

When you can do all this without getting arrested for walking on the grass, and can wend your own way back to the quarters in the evening, where you will find every sort of desire for making housekeeping a sure enough 'thing of beauty and a joy forever," what more should you expect—and you sort of feel you have helped to pay for it.

For housekeeping apartments and devices, California has the Middle West backed off the map. It is a real joy to live in them, dainty private baths, and the dearest little 'kitchenettes," all done in blue and white, with every conceivable convenience. The many 'disappearing' contrivances with which a drawing room may, iR the twinkle of an eye, be converted into a bed room or dining room is almost alarming. "I have a feeling that I may 'disappear' myself some time with some of my furniture. A 'twist of the wrist' sends your bed gracefully rolling beneath your big buffet, where an air shaft to the roof keeps it sanitary—a wave of your hand, and presto! your dining table quietly folds up its legs and steals away in the wall, leaving you to gaze in astonishment (at first) at your own beautiful or unbeautiful (as the case may be) image in a full length mirror. Your ironing board not to be outdone by any such capers, chases off after its fellowfurniture, and quietly disappears through a panel in the wall. You open a small door beneath the kitchen table and your garbage can runs out, receives the garbage and runs back into its locker to await the coming of the garbage m&n, who removes 'it through a small door opening on the outside. Through a door above the garbage locker, your grocery boy deposits your groceries and bottle of milk in your ice box, and helps himself, perhaps, to your eatables. Of course, he is not a

Sunday school boy or he would be resting in the- bosom of Father Abraham instead of pilfering yout Sunday pudding.' If this condensing process continues one may be able 'old -UR .one's apartments and !I|

carry them about in one's handbag. I went over to San Pedro Thursday to help the Angelenoes welcome the ship 'Missourian' to the Los! Angeles harbor, its first port of call since leaving Panama. Two other large freighters were with it, the Oregon and the Washingtonian, which had come around the Horn from New York. The 'Missourian'

is the property of the American some of the mysteries of the guidHawiian Steamship Company. Her ing apparatus by the obliging pilot, ratlines were gay with flags of every heard my name pronounced and nation, 'Old Glory' and the 'Union there was our own Captain E. P. Jack,' the most (jonspicuous. Some Thayer, of Greenfield. The captain three thousand guests were received and shown every courtesy. Refreshments of punch and wafers were served in the captainls quarters to all and a buffet luncheon at noon to the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, which, at the conclusion of the luncheon, presented the ship with a beautiful large silver, gold lined punch bowl, silver tray, and one dozen silver and crystal punch glasses. The Wilmington chamber of commerce, where the boat was docked, presented a handsome silver service. We were permitted. to examine the log book, which the captain, William Lyons, seemed to prize very highly. Also a lot of photographs made by himself, the first that have ever been taken throughout the length of thg big ditch, for- the taking of which he had to secure permission from the war department. "I had a little talk with the captain and he told me that they paid exactly $9,000 for the privilege of coming through the canal, and that thirty days' time had been saved coming via the canal. He introduced me to 'Nancy,' the ship's mascot, a handsome King Charles Spaniel.

Nancy very cordially shook hands with me—perhaps I should have said 'paws.' As I congratulated her ladyship on being the first canine to pass through the canal. California is highly pleased with the big foothold which the canal gives her on South American trade. As the Isthmian canal question is more than three centuries old, California may be excused her exuberant ex-

pressions of delight in being the first to receive the Missourian on her epoch-making journey.

The weather at the beach has been simply delightful, just like our early May days. We have not as yet laid away our winter clothing, which, however, was not winter clothing in the first place. That is one nice thing about Long Beach, one can wear the same sort of clothing the year round if the fashion makers don't interfere. The surf bathing here is the finest ever and the whole ocean front is alive with all sorts and conditions of men and women, and you will have to look closely to distinguish one from the other, so much alike doth clothes fashion them. "Miss Lulu Crawford, whom most Greenfielders know well, lives here, about half a block away from my house of disappearances. We are together most of our waking hours and some of our sleeping ones, and have most delightful times together. In the spring it seemed to be getting too warm to go back to the Hoosier state, and now that fall approacheth, I find myself arguing with myself to the effect that it will soon be too cold to go back. The climate, howeyer, is not the appealing thing. If I could buy the Pacific Ocean, a mountain or two and a slice or two of the much talked of climate with which to sort of dilute some of our Indiana cold and hot days, I think I should run back to
