Never before at any Fiesta have the
streets and business houses of Los An
geles presented such beautiful ap-
pearance. The liberal display of the
Fiesta colors. together with those of the
nation, stands out in sharp contrast
with the wealth of palm fronds and
pepper boughS, which are wreathed and
intermingled with flowers of every hue.
The streets are bewildering masses of
color, and the effect is one never to be
forgotten. The representative colors of
the orange, the olive and the grape meet
the eye at every turn and are arranged
in every conceivable form.

is one of the most handsomely decorat-
ed building in the city. The whole
structure is draped with broad bands
and graceful festoons of the tri-color

awning which opens toward the street
IL three graceful arches. The center
one of these glows with the color of
sold and its top is lined with brilliant
pampas plumes, producing beautiful
effect. The other arches on each side
which are red and green, have across
their supporting columns ladders inter-
woven and wreathed with the Fiesta
colors. The whole appearance of the
edifice, when the fresh ocean breeze
turns it into fiuttering mass of color,
is magnificent.

artistic arch, which extends from their
main entrance over the sidewalk. The
Fiesta colors alternate with the Ameri-

stars of tri-color. The second story is
handsomely draped with pleated bunt-
ing. across which are arranged sun
bursts of variegated feather fringe. In

daily attracts large crowds of specta-

the interior of it's show windows hand
somely decorated with tri-colored bunt-

fully succeeded in producing represent

of Southern California. In the south
window Is presented typical winter
scene in Los Angeles, where among the
frondS of overhanging palms the resi-
dent sits slipping his wine, while hiswife
nearby swings in hammock The
north window holds another fair lady
who presents the tableau Of Springs
First Blush" In each of the windows
on Court street are children, repre-
Senting the orange, the olive, the wal

sugar and oil industries. In and around
these figures are woven strands of the
tri-color, and the effect is most beau
