Now is the time to visit California When summer has passed in these northern states, the sun is only mild under the bright blue skies of Southern California. This is one of nature’s happy provisions—eternal sum­ mer for those who cannot endure a more severe cli­ mate. California has been called the Mecca of the winter tourist ” Its hotels and stopping places are as var­ ied as those of all well reg­ ulated cities. Visitors can always find suitable accom­ modations, congenial com­ panions, and varied, pleas­ ing recreations. THE Sin DIMIID Legend of Louis ds Eerquem and the Celebrated Gem.
