if possible. The aquatic fountain,
with its imeid water splashing
DER the pure white leaves Of its
Gala framework always attracts a
circle of visitors who marvel much at
the elegance though simplicity of its
design. A stroll up stairs is always
rewarded, for the gallery contains
some of the most charming features
of the exhibition. There is ever a
throng about the plnsy booth and
Mrs. Nellie NJ. Garaby ants descrip
ton OF these beautiful little flowers is
we'll worth reproducing. It runs as
follows:
o, here is one in purple hat
And robe OF violet silk
This little fellow is all in yellow,
And that one white as milk;
Dancing high and dancing low,
Just as the breezes come and go,
Dear little spring-time beauties, OF
One is dressed in a velvety black,
And one has a crimson gown;
This little maid is in blue arrayed.
And that in golden brown;
Dancing high and dancing low,
Just as the breezes come and go,
Dear little springtime beauties, o!
One has a titical, earnest look,
And one is wotully sad
Ny pansies wise with their dusky eyes
And faces grave or glad
Dancing high and dancing low,
Just as the heavenly breezes blow,
Dear little thoughtful beauties, o!
For the botanst there is much to
please in the display of wild flowers
broadcast from heaven on the land
it loves" and these beautiful, natural
creations convey an additional charm
when one remembers that the hand
of nature alone has trained them from
their r-birth. The visitor will iinger a
long time at the Santa Monica booth,
where everything looks SO fresh and
sweet, with the tinted roses peepin :
out temptingly from their floral beds
Anaheim is determined to keep in the
front of the race and is doing right
nobly. The variety of roses displayed
cannot be surpassed by any place cut
side of Los Angeles, and they look
marvelously fresh under the tender
care of the comely ladies who watch
over them. Everything about the
booth is original, and the ex-
ecution of the many beautiful de-
signs has been carried out in
a most mastery manner. One al
ways sees crowd at the counters of
the Woman's Exchange, and here one
is certain to receive the full value of
the money expended. Inglewood has
added to its many beauties by a
redecoration Of the handsome vase
which was so much admired On the
opening night. The body of the
tankard is now composed OF gerani
ums, while pearly marguerites form a
most delectable-looking ambrosia. Its
next neighbor has one OF the most
remarkable looking displays in the
building, and which is as pretty as it is
noticeable. Everything is yellow,
and mammoth sunf1owers "made
drunken with the SUM- effectively
form trimming to this hand
some picture. The candy booth
has attractions outside Of the
delectable wares contained there
in and the ladies must feel i'm
mensely f1attered at the admiring
glances that are continually turned
in their direction. Ever popu-
lar is the ice-cream depart
ment, and the beauteous beings who
carry the trays would make even the
heart OF St. Anthony beat quicker-as
for the ordinary individual-well, he
never regrets the small financial in
vestmAnt made. At the lemonade
booth change has been made that
makes it more beautiful than ever.
Exquisite orange blossoms now adorn
each corner and the divinities that reign
within are surrounded by a hedgerow
OF verdant and sweet-smelling sprigs,
culled from neighboring groves OF or
anges and lemons. Probably the most
handsome effect OF all, is that of the
purple and white booth, the del oate
com binations of colors being hide
scribably sweet. Nor do its sttrac-
tions end here, for its fair inmates are
as handsome as the scene they a1orn
and have many masculine glances shot
in their direction. The old fashioned
flower booth must not be ignoredi for
it is as much admired as any, and it's
keepers are as beautiful, in fact, a
similar desc option would be the only
fair way to describe all of those
booths not specially mentioned, for
they are all beautiful, ,all well kept and
all conducted by peris as charming
as their floral habitAtions.
THE cHILDREN's PLEASURE PLACE.
The Charity kindergarten Booth is
to-day under the care OF Mrs. Hervey
Lindley. 1t seems a picture from
fairyland. Overhead a blue sky,
around green hedge, everywhere
vines running in riotous profusion
and over all, roses, in baskets, bou-
quets, masses and special vsrie
ties. The kindergarten is little
charity school on Sansevain street o.
forty pupils, all under six. The worl
of these babies is on a screen exhib
tied in the booth and this afternoon
the little things give an exhibition O
their songs and games. Any one
whose heart is not touched and purse
opened at the sight of these tiny Great
ures in their little school, must indeed
be hard headed. This little school has
been supported entirely from its birth
by the labors Of few noble ladies'
