Ingenious California Girls.

I For some time past it has been the ’ custom of a number of young ladies employed in a dressmaking snopto repair to the Capitol grounds at the noon hour to partake of their luncheon. They invariably sat beneath a large cedar tree, the wide branches of which afforded a generous shade. Several young men about town observed this fact, and al- | most daily they could bo found shortly before 12 m. lounging under a tree not far distant from the one beneath which the young ladies sought shelter. This was of course annoying to the young ladies, and each of them has provided herself with a large pirasoh all of which are open when the grounds are reached and placed around in a oircle. This forms a perfect corral three or four feet in height, withiu which the young ladies can partake of their lunch and recline at ease, free from the prying eyes of the curious young men.— Sacramento Bee.
