PERSONALITIES

Mr. Kendall, of 736 B avenue, is having his house painted a pretty red. Shows up fine after the gray. H. C. Israel furnished the paint. Mark Madden is at leisure again. He was working nights at the Coronado Garage, but he and the boss could’t agree on terms, so Mark quit. Miss Wilma Burge was absent from her duties as book-keeper at the market Mpnday afternoon, and as a result is showing? a nice'new gold tooth when she smiles, which is often. / t Voters should bear in mind that Friday, March 13, is the last day of registration, and if you are not on the great before the expiration of the date you will be barred from the exercise of the ballot. Capt. P. H. Dill has two almond trees that have been in blopm for the past two weeks. They are heavy producers, and the genial Captain and his wife have fine times cracking nuts in the long winter evenings. • i There was considerable excitement last Thursday night among the oldest inhabitants, when they heard the fire engine running around the streets, till they remembered that it was practice night, and that the boys were enjoying their semi-monthly drill. Miss Gladys Gaillard, who graduated from the San Diego High School a few weeks ago, has decided not to go to college, and is devoting h?r time to her music. Her piano is kept busy several hours each day. She expects to go to Europe in the fall to complete her ■' musical education. Ernest Miller, leader of the Shrine band, was presented with a handsome Shrine pin by the members of the band, after his initiation the other night. The pin is certainly a beauty, and is set with a diamond that sparkles so it dazzles the eyes of his friends. The Parent Teachers’ Association will meet Thursday, March 12, at 7:45, at the school auditorium. “The Care of the Child from 12 to 16” will be the subject for discussion, and an interesting program of music and speaking has been prepared. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance. Dr. John D. Morgan, Jr., has a new car that he is breaking in to the streets of Coronado. The doctor has given up his San Diego office, and has moved his apparatus to this side to his office in the Bank building. Coronado is growing so fast that it keeps him busy taking care of the newcomers and the school kids. r Miss Ruth Carpenter had a bad fall last Saturday night, and scared her folks out of seven weeks enjoyment. She twisted her ankle, and rolled from the top of the <atairs, landing in a heap at the •foot, with every bone in her body bruised, but none broken. Her grandmother, aunt and sister were on the job very soon, all crying, and her mother had to comfort them as well as the injured girl. Ruth fainted before starting on her journey down stairs, and again when she was placed on the couch, but was able to go to the “Blue 'Bird” matinee Saturday afternoon, * and is all right again now.

Mrs. A. S. Brent and her infant son, Robert Edmond, of Bremerton, Wash., is visiting her mother, Mrs. Gaymmeter, at 904 Eighth St. Miss Constance entertains her friends on the Tom Sawyer plan, by letting them wheel the baby buggy around. You remember how Tom got the boys to whitewarsh the fence that time, no? Anyway, the friends like to do it, so “Lord Bobs” should worry. Mrs. Ralph M. Johnson Inis returned from a visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Klein, at Lakeside. Ralph bached it while the Missus was away. He says he can stand it all right for a week, but if “the woman in the case” is to be gone longer than that, he malms arrangements to board at the Hotel. Jay Stillman,of Puyallup, Wash., wandered into the congested district last Monday looking for Frank Myers, whom he had last seen 18 years ago in the northern city. Frank spotted his old friend first, and hailed him. Mr. Stillman is past 70 years of age, but doesn’t look more than 50. Shows what a rainy climate will do for some'people. Now, we know some ladies in Portland, Oregon, who are not more than 40, and they look considerably older. Wet weather works the other way ’round with men, it seems. Anyway, Myers took his friend home to dinner with him. and let him fill up on tomatoes and loquats and things growing in the yard. .It was a new experience for him, eating fruit off the trees in February, and he will have a fine time telling his friends about it.
