way for another and greater one TO rol-'
low. se
The young queen is just now but be-
ginning to arrange some of the details
of the week of pageantry. Fortunately
she has, in her first lady-in-waiting, MIS-.
Granville MACEDONIAN, a most able CO.
adiutor, one we'll versed in matters OF
court etiquette, possessed of Judgment,
discretion and tact, and fully capable or
deciding those puzzling questions which
always arise at Fiesta times.
MISS ALEXANDER AT HOME.
Tn her own home last week met Miss
Francisco Alexander, and for short
time discussed with her some of the de-
tails of her coming reign. She met me
with that grace of manner which ner
friends say Is her distinguishing charm,
wholly without affectation, peculiarly
graceful.
She wore q little black dress, with a
filmy. fluffy chiffon ruf1e around her
pretty throat, fastened with great
cluster of cleaning yellow narcissus;;
BY the by, she said yellow was ner
favorite color. SO / imagine this brilliant
tone will figure in many ways IN tne
court during Fiesta week.
II was quiteamazed," Miss Alexander
said ..when l first received this appoint
ment, and refused 1t at once, decideoiy
and positively.
II did not feel that I was suited to be
the queen, and when Mr.. Rule said !
might take time to consider the matter,
I laughed and answered that 1t was not
necessary to think about it at all.
"But Mr.. Rule would not accept my
answer then, and later other influences
were brought to bear upon me, and my
friends were all so kind and so urgent
that I did consider the matter.
"Of course. before so much influence
and SO much kindness my cwn opJecuons
melted away, and almost before knew
it / had consented. and now am really
going to be the queen.
HER ATTRACTION.
There is nothing statuesque in the
new queen. She is full Of fire Of inten-
sitv. Her dark eyes light up with feeling
as she talks, her color comes and goes
in rich waves. her mobile face Is full q

Across the River

The entertainment given Friday
evening at Banquet hall by the Eureka
Rebekah Lodge was we'll attended,
every seat being filled. The program
consisted Of music, recitations and drills
The instrumental music by Miss
Schlafly was we'll worthy the encore
which it received. Chimes of Nor
mandy" by eleven little girls was one
of the most pleasing features Of the
evening; the simple little ballad sung
by one of their number was most charm
ing. A hoop drill given by twelve young
ladies was very neat, showing much
care in preparation. Miss Maggie Keath
sang very sweetly. A comic song by
Professor Biddle was we'll received, and
the violin solo was highly enjoyed by
all.
Mrs. F. W. Chase of Pasadena avenue
entertained the Thimble club and their
husbands Thursday evening. The deco
rations were very beautiful, consisting
of brodeae and gold of ophir roses. An
orchestra discoursed music during the
evening.
Mr.. Henry is at home from Randsburg,
where he has been engaged in business
for several months.

lar of lace finishes the throat, and fall
of lace from the elbow sleeves meets the
long, white gloves. Fluttering ribbons
will adorn the dress and trimmings OF
pearls. A big, picturesque hat of white.
adorned with pink chiffon, flowers and
plumes, will be worn with this costume.
and pink and white flower parasol will
shade the fair face of the Fiesta queen
upon that day
THE FLOWER GOWN.
Upon Floral day the queen will wear
her favorite color, deep, rich, yellow
brocaded satin, with a long, golden,
satin train; yards and yards of the
shimmering material, lined with white
satin and trimmed with ermine. The
square and finished at the back with
bodice is long and pointed, the neck
high collar. Pearls will be worn with
this costume. The whole dress Is a pic.
ture in yellow and white, and Is perhaps
the most striking of all the court dresses.
1t is peculiarly suited to the dark, rich
beauty of the queen, and the glowing
color is particularly fetching.
THE CONCERT DRESS.
The gown to be worn at the concert is
a rich green and pink satin brocade.
The long, sweeping train is of deep ruby
velvet, lined with pale green satin and
trimmed with ermine. Like the others,
this dress is made in the style of the
eighteenth century, with long, pointed
bodice, square neck and high, wide
| fiaring, jewefed collar. The skirt is
very plain in front and sides and very
| full at the back. With all these dresses
| the jewels will be worn, the beautiful
| crown and the scepter.
The coropation robe has two waists
the second one being of golden tissue
The trains are all round and the sleeves
reach the elbow. Glittering, Jewelec
buckles are used to fasten the trains
| upon the shoulders, and also to cater
| the draperies as needed.
THE JEWELS.
Possibly no Fiesta queen has beer
! able to wear the beautiful jewels tha
will grace the person of the fair queen o

changing expression, and in the firm,
warm clasp Of her hand you feel there is
something that reaches out to human
ity. There Is no doubt that in the COM
ing Fiesta the queen will study the peo-
pie and be quick to respond to their
loyalty and their admiration.
THE COURT.
The court has at last been settled,
though many changes have been made.
Officially given, the court now numbers
sixteen members, ten fair young mat
rons and five maidens, as follows
Mines. Granville MacGowan. Edward
Silent, Sumner 2. Hunt, j. D. Foster, A.
Balch, A. C. Jones, J. F. Jones, Godfrey
Holterhoff, Win Bishop, Otheman
Stevens, Misses Alice Keenan,; Rose
Newmark, Margaret Landell, Florence
Silent, May Newton and Christina
KurtZ.
THE COURT DRESS.
In speaking of the dress of the court
the queen said: IT should like very mucr
to have French court and the dress OF
the eighteenth century, those pictur-
esque Watteau costumes without
trains, with tunic and bodice. The style
is charming in its simplicity, and moth
ing could be prettier."
This question of dress has caused
much agitation, but Mrs. MacGowar
quite agrees with the queen on tbs
charm of this French court dress, ano
the decision is about made. This VIII
give the big picture hats that may bt
worn most effectively by both matror
and maid.
THE BALL.
| OF course the ball will be yellow ball
