St. Gorgonio, noted as being the highest mountain above its base in the United States, attaining an altitude of over two miles. Among these peaks are wild rugged places of beauty, white with snow in winter and abloom with flowers in the springtime. Here, knarled but picturesque sycamores stand with their gray trunks in bold relief against the evergreens and the giant ferns and vines. Here flourish trees that Were old when Homer sang his immortal sagas, when Rome ruled as supreme mistress of the world, when Christ lay in a humble stable in Bethlehem. Towering in whispering majesty, they stand as inscrutable as the Sphinx, divulging noth- ing, becoming ever more awe inspiring. Is there anywhere on earth, any land or latitude, such as California, where such ap- palling and attractive, stupendous and delicate things are included within the same horizon? It seems impossible up in the high Sierras to believe that Los Angeles, cultured and pro- gressive, lies but a few hundred miles to the southwest. Along the coast of Southern California the lover of the sea and shore finds much to in- terest him. Great boulders, huge as many great metropolitan buildings, on which shone the same moon that lighted the path of Joseph and Mary during their flight into Egypt, lift their faces scarred by the wrath of ages. Shells of many kinds, colorful in their sunset and rainbow tints strew the strand where the tide comes furiously dashing on the ancient rocks, reminding one of the sea horses written of by the ancient poets. ln the numerous canyons that reach down to the sea sycamores, alders, and bay trees flourish in the shadow of slopes rich with sumach, holly and wild lilacs. Huge circles carpeted with cerise sand verbena, with bespangled iceplant foliage, with the running blue of the lovely sea daisy, stretch down to the white sea-washed sand. To those who know and love the desert, it is a region of boundless beauty. lts imperial silences, its mysterious desolation, and its in- definable atmosphere make it a fascinating land of rare attraction and allure. Often in places in season the desert floor is covered ers of great brilliancy and variety. The gleam of golden poppies mingles with the purple of the lupin, while the rolling dunes are smoth- ered in a wealth of glowing verbena. Here and there the misty white of the forget-me- not peeps from a shimmering sea of birds'-eyes and baby-blue eyes. Thousands of yucca plants, which the Spaniard, with the exquisite poetry common to his heart and tongue, has named Our Lord's Candles, thrust their waxen torches toward the sky. Winter in the minds of Southern Cali- fornians is associated with balmy days, green hills, and flower bedecked fields, rather than the cold weather, ice and snow that Eastern- ers call winter. Here, while the rest of the world lies under its cold blanket of snow, the parched hills doff their Franciscan robes of brown, to assume a dress of vivid living green. Beneficent nature, putting on her richest and most alluring mantle spreads the living gold and purple, blue and red, scarlet and white upon her great palette of the out-of-doors. From the seacoast to the inland valleys the refined gold and delicate satiny-smoothness of the California poppy flaunts itself in the light breezes. The lVIariposa lily in its varying shades, the blue larkspur and the lupin mingle with the intensity of the crimson cardinal flower and Indian paintbrush, covering acres along the coast mesas. Blue and white iris rear themselves delicately from among the yellow primroses, wild pansies and baby-blue eyes, while a score of wild rose varieties per- fume the air. Over the hills, like a great yellow sea, wave acres of the pungent-scented yellow mustard, growing so high that one be- comes easily lost in it. Surrounded by all these forms of beauty- the desert, the ocean and the mountains, set like a jewel in the valley of Our Lady, rises its capital, the world famed city of Los An- geles, metropolis of this wide-flung magical Southland. Where once the Spanish Don gal- lantly serenaded his lady in the quiet star-lit night to the soft strumming of his guitar, a great city now spreads itself from where the Mother lVIountains hem in the valley to where on the ocean strand arises the town dedicated to St. Monica. solidl ' for man square miles with wild flow- Y 'fnwymaim - QQWWTWLZ fe- --- V' 5 - l JD2'OUl'-UI-KID wm3-1 E
