Mr.. and Mrs. Laramore and daughter
of Laramore, North Dakota, now at the
Golden Eagle, are out here looking aIler
large interests in Fair Oaks
Why did Dewey do it so soon? IL
he had waited only two or three days
even, just see what a lovely day we
might have had to celebrate the first
anniversary of his great victory. True,
the history of nations might have been
changed, but what is that to success
full first floral parade in Sacramento.
Now, I'm not saying a word against
the parade; it was just lovely; it was
more than q success, even II some OIL
the vehicles did have that lick-and-a-
promise sort of air, due to nasty
morning decision, and even If some OF
their occupants did wear that anxious

their faces probably assumed on the
first downfall of rain the previous day
1t would not have been difficult task
to mark a different degree of faith by
the various stages of progression to-
ward perfection indicated in the numer-
Gus carriages that passed before our
view Evidently those who put their
trust in Providence and went ahead,
rain or shine, were winners every
time"
The judges were all right, too; al
though IT, by some chance, they had
happened to give first to Misses Laura
Terry and Sadie Breen, shouldn't have
quarreled with them. The girls did look
SO pretty in their flowers and feathers
and airy summer clothes.
What a pity that custom or choice
did not induce our Queen to wear her
hair la Goddess of Liberty. 1t is rare
one has an opportunity to display such
a magnificent head of hair as hers. And
tell US, who was the white lady in a
veil? In happy childhood days we have
"shivered and shook" over the Yelled
Lady in some thrilling ghost story, and
many a time have we heard Boieldieu's
song of the white Lady," but the
combination of the two in floral pa
rade has not before met our notice; and
it certainly does not meet with our APP
prevail now. Why, the very acme of
antonymy is reached in the two words
parade and veil. Now, girls, don't wear
any more wells when you're up for
show, especially that filmy, fiaky kind
that makes one look like a swathed
Egyptian mummy.
Among the many swell vehicles out
last Monday to do Dewey honor, I no.
ticed the smart new rig of a certain
popular club man. 1t was not in the
parade, being unfortunately not deco
rated. But twas really a pity, for the
young lady it contained represented
more of loneliness than could have done
any amount of flower festooning.
Take it all in all Dewey day celebra-
ton was a rare treat, and Sacramento
owes a debt of gratitude to the ladies
and gentlemen who, by their untiring
efforts, carried it on to a successful
issue.
