Jones, who was formerly a teacher in
the public schools of Los Angeles, with
her daughter, in charge. And although
the problem must be difficult, che

elsewhere being all done by the pupils

plain sewing and housework seem all
that are provided at present to occupy
them.
They need more room and wider out
look; also regular outdoor work and
play, for they are only children, and
many of them have lived wild, free
life. We must do something for these
girls until an appropriation can be made
for an industrial education. Mrs. Du-

donations for this department. We
could greatly encourage these girls,

MERRIAM & co.'s ENTERPRISE.
One of the Most Palatial Stores in the
CITY,

OhS "a tnC MOSC : dldVlaI SCOIeS III the
City.
Los Angeles can truthfully boast of
having some of the largest, finest and
best equipped business houses on the
coast, which, by the way, is a tribute to
her prosperity and the taste of mer-
chants. But there is one store in this
city, the confectionery establishment of
Merriam & Co., at 127 South Spring
street, which is undoubtedly one of the
most palatial on the coast.
The entire decorations of the walls
and ceilings present a most cheerful ef-
feet, being wrought in something on the
order of Louis XVI. style. The panel
effects are in three shades of old rose.
brought out by the use of gold and cop
per headings, and ornamented by floral
handwork, hung in festoons in each
panel. The large cove which fills the
angle of the ceiling and walls is the
most striking feature of the entire deco
rations, being all floral work and hand
painted, and was designed and invented
by Messrs. Eckstrom & Strasbure, the
decorators, at Nos. 305, 307 and 800 S.
Main street, who executed the entire
decorations.
Merriam & Co. are the leaders in their
line ana one OF the Oldest IN this city.
They have recently disposed of their
wholesale department, and will devote
their attention to the retail trade. They
make a specially of the finest French
creams in all flavors, which they effect
from the natural fruit juices. Their ice
cream and drinks, both hot and cold ARE
noted for their exquisite. favors.
The soda fountain is the largest and
most expensive in the city, and contains
in its construction dozen or more diff
ferent varieties of marble, all imported,
many of which are of the most delicate
tints and beautiful structure. The count
ers are of Tennessee marble, and will &C.
commodate twenty-five to thirty custom
ers at sitting. To the back, and parti-
toned from the main store by rich lace
curtains and portieres, are the ice cream
parlors, which are furnished to accom-
modate fifty to sixty people.
