CALIFORNIA'S "GLORIOUS CLIMATE."
Vry rine. Inttrrd, lnrlc Certain Matilha
of th Yean,
And first of all I will try and tell some
thing about this "glorious"' climate
(w Inch couU be lunch more appropriately
called "slippery"), of which so much
has been said and writtou. The faot is
tl .it tli climateof California is clunste
dilferiiitf almost with every county, and
to speak of the climate of California as a
whole is -really to mislead people, for
jou cannot say it is perfecUy line or do
tttubly mean, alll ou-h both could I
said it !i trulh by uuy oue intcret-ted in
eying the one or the other..
The climate, for example, of San Fran
cisco durui certain mouths of the year
is beyond measure tine. Our eastern
friends, having the f..ty air and dying
top "tat ion ushering in their Ion ft cold
Winters, rule riht into our mild Indian
tutiiui'T, ii.U'd with fuil ripened fruits,
I'.u'.iiou flowers and perfect vep'talam;
or. leaving the frost and snow of t'lire-l-nias,
Bud hei a bright, warm Italian
winter, flowers in full bloom, fruits in
plenty, etc. and tourist taking their
ts, at that time of tin- year are apt to
return ho ae and convey the idea of some
wonderfully glorious, warm, delightful
climate. Hut wliat about the cold fv,
