1 MARRIAGE OF INTEREST A marriage of much interest to Cali-fornians took place In London'on July 9th, the marriage of Alfred Hurtgen of Europe this week has aroused much interest in local circles around the bay. zerland, where all sorts of educational Dresden and Ml.w Mattlo T.fvormnrO of San Francisco. The Livermorer.are the unattainable, and we are beginning to take our summers in simple fashion, without, all the posing which used to spoil It in former days. People now dress much more simply than in the old days and much more appropriately. In fact, one looks askance at the over-dressed women; at idirjner at the mountain resort.

"When jrmc'j is invited for the weekjend at a friend's home, one's hostess is quite apt add a gentle reminder of how one fe; eixpected to dress. And the guest who her really good gowns Is not ilejy to be invited a second time. HI-LB OF THE SMAHT SET 1 It is the smart set which has established a rule which is likely to endure the rule of simple gowns for mountain vacatlonidays, and it is so good a rule, so ofrnfortable( so sensible, that it is one 1, lively to endure. Many women tourists on going into Yosemite "Valley tailor gowns at El Portal at the hotel there, taking into the val ley only heavy linen or khaki gowns, the only things suitable for the tramp and trjMl climbing Incidental to life In 7: the famous valley. Motor trips are' also conducive to simple, dressing, since one can take only.il limited wardrobe on a motor trip, and so it is that we have evolved for ourselves summer days full of com fort, established along lines of common sense.

SPECIAL ATTIt ACTIONS i TO TOU1USTS. The pine and redwood forests offer a special atti action to us who live by the bay, and so it has happened that the mountain resorts have been of unusual interest this year. Happy indeed is the summer tourist who can take a long motor trip way of a summer holiday. He can linger long in the places which attract I him, and motor away when the resting place is no longer attractive. Doctor and Charles H.

Rowe and Doctor' and Mrs. F. II. Jarvls made up a quartette of congenial friends who motored through picturesque Lake County on a most successful holiday trip. McCady's Highland Springs, Siegler Springs and Adams Springs were Included in their itinerary, and a week was spent at Laurel Dell in Lake County.

The Rowes and Jarvlses have returned from their holiday trip, which more than realized the pleasant anticipations with which they set forth upon it. Tahoe Tavern, being the largest hotel in the Sierra region, has been crowded with well known people all I HE mountain la lies this year have been mort popular many people, afford- ing: an environment for a happy holiday time. Tahoe, Alta M'ebber, Independence, all the lakes 6 the higher Sierras have afforded ex- ceptional charms this season for the Bummer visitor, and the resorts abou the many beautiful Makes of picturesque 'Lake County ha-ve been crowded with all enjoying delightful summer days, near to nature's lwart. People find a saner and more enjoy able way of living than Is possible to achieve In the strain and on-rush of city life. In the citjj one lives for other people in the country it is possible for a time-to live for one's self.

One of the new books of the, day begin quaintly with the verse, most ap propriate to the season: "Lover of books as I am, I would bar-, ter them all Just for a day with the book of the fields and the fens, Tine-ways and mountain-pool, hill views and far-away glens. Farm path and grey pasture-wall." What a real blessing It is thJft Call-fornlans have learned the great lesson of resting In aummer. Other lands may have peaces beautifully picturesque here one may spend mid-sum mer days, but California boasts of something better, of resorts by the ocean, the high Sierras, where na turo Is Impressive In Its dignity and majesty, and awe-inspiring In lta tre mendous possibilities for greatness. Some one has painted a word pic ture of a summer dream, and in it are "great places with green hills and grand old trees that wave their branched against a blue sky, and there aun.ihlne and simple, delightful Hv Inc. One lives naturally, healthfully and happily and adds twenty years to one's life one may look up to the itars and.atch the music of the phcres.V i And another writer adds: "When cheerlness and leisureand comfort and quiet happiness oan-be found so easily, why do so many restless, unsatisfied women stay in towns? For along country ways lies peace." lint one might go on indefinitely lot ing from those who have learned find and peace In the summer Uay aad to draw Inspiration therefrom.
