KANSAS CRY, Mo, Oct s-The
iower parade yesterday was thing of
beauty. The equipagcs were not only
handsome, but many of them were
dnique. OF all the floats, however,
there was one that attracted most at
sention, and was the most beautiful of
hll-it was the float upon which rode
the maids of honor, the youth and
beauty of Kansas and Missouri. The
queens float was the first in the pro-
cession, of course. Itwas very beauti-
ful float, and Miss Cravens, the queen,
gowned most becomingly in pink. and
surrounded by the blended colors of
many roses, made an attractive pic
ture, but the queen was only one, and
iirectly behind her was the float of
1er maids of honor, a great cornuco-
pia, spilling forth its loveliness in a
cataract of pretty faces.
