so she could chronicle any information that I
might divulge that could be put to use for Villa
Moret, if it proved to be valuable. I found
Miss Sally a very delightful companion and
soon discovered why she held such a prominent
and important position.
Off we went again over the hills and through
the Presidio. Breasting the most inviting golf
courses and club houses and out to the Ocean
highway, which runs along the ocean front, the
Pacific, where "pacific" is like a glassy pool in
the woods of Maine, we had a view from the
top of a sand dune that was the most inspiring
I have ever seen. Words are inadequate to ex-
press the effect it had on me and I naturally
became imbued with the beauty and peace of
it all and with eagerness longed to see more.
So off we went again, leaving the highway at
Tait's famous beach resort and up through St.
Francis Woods, the elite residence district of
folks who love the ocean side of San Francisco.
We entered the Coast highway at Colma,
thence to Burlingame and San Mateo, where
many of the oldest and most wealthy Cali-
fornians have their palatial estates. This was
most interesting, but when we stopped at Stan-
ford University and went into the chapel, I was
simply flabbergasted!—no other word would
suffice. This wonderful school, endowed by the
Leland Stanford family, is in a class by itself—
nothing in the country can compare with it,
and this is where Neil, Charley's son, is going
to school. Naturally I thought of my own boy
Lawrence and wished that he, too, could finish
his studies in such a gorgeous setting.
After the "snack" on the stadium grounds we
took to the road again, going west to the moun-
tains via Los Altos, Cupertino and into Sara-
toga, the "City of Blossoms." This is high
ground and the most advantageous point to
view the celebrated Santa Clara Valley. When
I looked over the valley I was in a maze—
miles upon miles of blossoms glistening in the
sun—the almond, apricot, peach and plum trees
were in bloom and as far as the eye could reach

were lacy vistas of perfumed flowers. It was
indeed a paradise and no wonder Californians
rave about their country. It would take a
Tennyson or Kipling to describe the beauty of
Santa Clara, so let your imagination fill in the
missing ohs and ahs.
From Saratoga we flanked the mountains, then
through the redwoods and into Los Gatos, the
Gateway to the Sea. This little hamlet boasts
of the most perfect climate in the world and it
nestles between the two highest peaks of the
Santa Cruz range. I wanted to see San Jose,
so we headed east, passing through this flourish-
ing city into the lower valley and thence over
the central highway, through San Bruno and
into San Francisco via the bay route.
For the benefit of those few among you who
do not know Chas. N. Daniels (Neil Moret)
I will give a short biography of his life. He
was born in Leavenworth, Kan., in 1878, and
had his first experience in the retail music busi-
ness back of the Carl Hoffman music counters
in Kansas City, Mo. That's where I met
Charley in 1899, just after he had written his
first popular tune, "Margery." Then followed
the well-known song, "You Tell Me Your
Dream," still sung wherever a quartet bursts
forth in harmony. His musical education was
under Carl A. Preyer, teacher of harmony,
theory and composition, for Charley leaned
to the better class of music, always exemplified
in his compositions. "Hiawatha," the tune that
made him famous, was written in 1900 and pub-
lished by Remick in 1901. Among the hun-
dreds of compositions to follow are found
"Poppies," "Cherry," "Silver Heels," "Hearts-
ease," "Pearls," "Incense," "After Vespers,"
"Island of Roses and Love," "On Mobile Bay,"
"Mellow Cello," "Mickey," "Peggy," "Yearn-
ing," etc., and now after twenty-five years of
composition the ballad success, "Moonlight and
Roses," written in collaboration with Edwin Le-
mare and Ben Black. The Neil Moret composi-
tions never die. No orchestra's or organist's
library is complete without them, especially the
JFEIST'Song
instrumentals written during the early part of
his musical career. These compositions are just
as popular in Europe as they are over here, a
rare distinction for an American composer.
Effective Exploitation of
Irving Berlin's Latest Song
The new Irving Berlin song published by
Irving Berlin, Inc., called "At Peace With the
World," has received from retailers some very
effective window settings. Among these par-
ticularly attractive displays was that recently
Featuring "At Peace With the World"
arranged by the J. G. McCrory Store, Phila-
delphia, Pa. This store made a feature of "At
Peace With the World" through its window and
by demonstrating it in the sheet music depart-
ment. This department under the direction of
Miss Margaret Morris is one of the most suc-
cessful in the United States.
