The Best-Known Literary Woman in Southern California

He will wear his gay badge . trihe
awkwardly at first but he has grit and he
will wear it. He will put up his incredi-
BILE decorations and build his impossible
float uncomplainingly He will swallow
his shamefacedness and garland himself
and prance and dance and try vigorously
to warm his Puritan blood up to a Latin
heat and by and bye the merry making
habit may grow upon him and sit easily
and gracefully. Heaven speed the day.
There are worthy souls who count it
sinful waste of money. They tell us the
poor have asked for bread and we have
given them bunting-have plead with us
for fish and we have given them
Fiesta. But poverty is not the only mis-
cry in the world. There are thousands
who have plenty to eat whose hearts are
yet heavy. Much of this suffering is hys-
terical-imaginary, but none the less
real. A good stiff breeze of fun may
blow it away.
There has been SO much thet is bilious
and jaundiced. so much that is yellow
and green in literature, art, philanthIo-
shy and economics of late, that l think
we do well to welcome the good red blood
Of healthful gayety into our mental CO or
scheme, even if the rersult is trihe glar-
ing and loud for the nerves OF the hyper
pensitive.

OPINIONS
OF A WELL=KNOWN
CAPITALIST
Nothing so Perfect but Can Be Improved.
Some Common Sense Suggestions
for Better Results In Days
to Come

Mr.. Callaghan Byrne is as accommo.
dating as he is diffident. and one Of his
chief characteristics is that rare virvue,
good common sense. In his point OF view
he may not find unqualified or universal
sympathy, but those that do agree with
him will agree fully, and those that don t
will acknowledge that some of his views
will bear looking at.
Your request for an expression OF my
views regarding La Fiesta celebration is
accepted with diffidence.
There is much practical good resulting
from it in the distribution Of SO much
money among the working people, and
also by the presence of large crowds from
all over the country. whose stay, however
brief, is Il source Of revenue to many Of
the citizens of this city.
The first attempt having proved re-
markably successful in every way, it is
safe to say the present one will be an i'm
provement and more extensive as each
recurring event will profit by the past.
The celebration is now anticipated to be
yearly affair.
Therefore the management and prepar-
alton should he carefully guarded by a
board OF managers composed of represen-
tative men of stability and unquestioned
integrity, who should manage it as a
trust reposed on their honor.
Poor bat honest men cannot give their

THE social aspect is presented here

if anybody does, what sociability means.
Who also knows what she believes, and
why; and, more than all, has the courage
of her convictions. She. too, pays grace
full homage to the Queen and makes some
suggestions that future committees will
do well to think over.
From social standpoint La Fiesta is
certainly prominently successful, for ii
is social or nothing. If society means, as
Webster puts it. union of persons in one
interest; oompanionship,a association, then
La Fiesta is professionally a synonym
that entirely answers the purpose.
In the cant acceptation of the term So

straint that is as necessary as it is irk-
some but the adjective social. pertaining

of conventionllity and allows OF the lat

itude that made La Fiesta Of last year so
delightful.
The objection that was raised to mask
ing this year threatened to rob the fete OF
its prime significance, it's very essence,
and it is a fortunate thing that the re-
striction was not placed upon the people.
The license was not abused last year to
any serious extent and there is little
chance that it will be this year.
The decorations are much more elabor-
ate, the blending of colors is more effec-
tive, and the various additions in the
way of entertainment and vaiietysof per.
formance give promise thatA the rest of
the work will eclipse last years Fiesta in
every respect. !
Over twice as much money has been
spent and probably three times as much
money will come in.
Mrs. Modini- Wood is an admirable
choice for queen, one that gives unani-
nous satisfaction. She will look, act and
be queen. She has appeared before n
public and her natural ease and grace of
manner will not desert her on the throne.
The committee delayed almost too long
before making their choice, however for
they felt that the various members needed
for the court would grasp at the chance
to join this year. 1t was a surprise to
a number of the gentlemen to see how
difficult it was to get just the right peo-
pie to be ladies in waiting and maids of
honor, and they realize better now than
ever before the obstacles the queen of last
year had to contend with.

Anything which tempts the hard work
