To-day is the third of the second weel
of the great Annual Flower Festival Q
Los Angeles. Last year the total re
ceipts for the two weeks came to abou
$15,0 900. The expenses were 81 200, anc
the net proceeds $4,000. This year th
total receipts for the first week were il
round numbers $4,000, and for Monda,
night of this week 500. If this weel
gees on at this rate il will turn into th,
society about $4,000. That will max,
solne $4,000 for the whole festival
Should the expenses run up to the sun
reached last year there will no
be much left for charity. Blu
the ladies in charge, anticipating some
what of falling off this time because O
there being less money in circulation
have been making herculean efforts tt
keep the expenses down. They thinl
they have succeeded, but how muct
cannot be determined until all bills art
settled, after the fete is over.
The booths last night were all prettil,
decorated, but those of the country were
especially so. The beautiful garden il
miniature which represents the AL
hambra was very tastefully decorated
last night. There was great wealth oi
flowers displayed, and the arrangement
was artistic.
The Whittier booth was resplenden,
last night, as it has been all the nights
of the fete. The ladies have trimmed
the booth with magnolia leaves, which
are artistically FURNISHED with gold and
silver bronze. There were several
lunches of cabbage roses, each flower
as large as saucer, in the booth, and
there were lunches of lilies as white al
SNOW.
The Sierra Madre booth is kept a:
fresh and lovely as it was when the
flower show first opened. The flowers
from the charming Sierra Madre settle
ment are of the choicest varieties and
perfect in their development.
The Greek Temple is maintained in a
manner quite befitting the reputation OF
the artistic people of Athens whose works
it is intended to represent. The decora.
