She drove to Palm Springs, the famed resort town in the desert country, finding it a most beautiful place, with the mer cury registering 100 degrees on the day she made the trip. En route the orchards in bloom made a lovely sight. Children were standing on the corners of the streets in Palm SDrings and alone the route of travel trying to sell lilacs to the passersby.
