Ma vinnAGeE CALLED CARMEL— 
You haven't “lived’’ until you have seen this friendly, charming village, and the 
fifty miles of rugged coast, whose beauty is world-famous. 
People have a habit of meeting at the PINE INN,—it's central and intimate. If you 
are anti-cocktail, bury your objections for a few minutes and look in at the little cozy 
bar, with the old-time flavor. You may see a ‘character,’ or perhaps only a celebrity. 
To the left of the Pine Inn Lobby, you will see ensconced among her many creations, 
the one and only ROSE BROWN! Now do not venture beyond the show window of 
this treasure chest, unless your purse is bulging, or your check is good, for here you 
will see a beguiling assortment of femininities to give you that ‘‘certain look” which 
every woman longs for. And if you are mere man and susceptible to the female of the 
species, keep your eyes on your prospective purchase and not on Rose Brown ... 
She is a real artist and designs herself, most that you will admire ... The C. W. 
drops in occasionally, for a lesson in salesmanship . . . and gets it! 
Across the street is a strange little place called... of all things... “THE 
STOCKING SHOP.” Once in a facetious mood, the C. W., noting the shop for the first 
time,—went in, and glaring a challenge at the proprietress, said, “Do you have English 
lisle stockings with open-work clocks?” ... “Yes sir,” says Bo Sumner, “What size please?”— 
Meet Bo,—she’s smart .. . been everywhere . . . done everything (almost)... met 
everybody! Nice person... qualifies here! 
“CHRISSIE, THE PEDDLER,’’— 
At the moment of going to press, Chris is a ‘lady without portfolio” but anyone in the 
Court of the Golden Bough, will locate her for you. Her self-styled title is only an 
indication of the great good humor with which the dignified and handsome Mrs. Chris 
Steele conducts her most interesting shop. Now don’t ask me particulars... “Just 
say Graucho sent you.” 
Ten miles up sunny Carmel Valley is LOS LAURELLES LODGE, where one can 
sleep, eat, drink and be quite merry,—in a European atmosphere of friendliness and 
good cheer. Your charming host and hostess,—Herbert and Alice Brick. This is not 
just another resort. It’s different! 
Your visit in the Carmel Valley will not be complete without going to '"CARROUSEL” 
and meeting Wibby, its genial and philosophic host. After explaining to Wibby the 
requirements of this ‘‘We Recommend” department, I asked him if he thought he 
qualified. Says Wibby, after some deliberation,—"I don’t know.” And that was the right 
answer. In CARROUSEL you will feel you have sinned, but actually you haven't. Nice 
feeling—don't miss it. 
Sa 
If you would be happy for three hours, 
Get drunk. 
If you would be happy for three days, 
Kill a pig and eat it. 
If you would be happy for three months, 
Get married. 
If you would be happy your whole life long, 
Become a gardener.
