THE QUEENS DRESS
And the Lovely Appsaranc. Of Her 1aids Of
OF Honor

OF Honor
On all occasions since La Reina de la
Fiesta's reign she has appeared eX-
tremely lovely. but last night she was
superbly beautiful in her royal robes of
white satin and gold. The gown is by
far the handsomest that her majesty
has appeared in on any previous occa-
sion, and the scene presented as she
viewed her subjects from the throne,
surrounded by the brilliant court, will
linger long in the memory of those pres
ent as an exquisite picture of womanly
beauty and grace The whole was a
symposium of beauty that words are
inadequate to describe.
The royal robe was of white duchess
satin, fashioned after the Empress
Josephine style, the front of the bodice
was ablaze with jewels, and rising from
the back was a deep collar of gold lace.
The resplendent court train was of yell
low satin brocaded in gold chrysanthe-
NUNS, with a broad bald of royal err
mine. On the bottom of the skirt. reach
ing entirely around, was heavy gold
trimming in butterfly effects; falling
over this in front was the jeweled gir-
die, two golden wings spread out from
each shoulder, and completing the
whole magnificent creation was the
jeweled crown. All the queens gowns
were made in Los Angeles by Miss
Garsten. The pretty maids displayed
their own fancy in attire, and the COM
bination of colors produced a charming
effect. Each carried huge clusters of
flowers and were gowned as follows:

with demi- train, the bodice edged with
pearls, and falling over the shoulders to
the waist was a cape effect of rare old
