Marion Rollins and Catherine Jen-
nings. There were four outrlders:
Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Jennings, MISS
Cola Smith and Henry Ray. These
were preceded by Miss Bette Berry,
who was mounted on a coal black
charger. The trappings of the horses
were in keeping with the beauty OF
the entire outfit, and lacked nothing
to make complete the entire scheme.
A very noticeable feature were the
costumes of the ladies, which were OF
pink and white satin. Another beau
tiful, white satin banner was carried
| in front.

Magnificent in design and gorgeous
in finish, the float of the above firm
contributed much to the beauty OF
the parade. The design wa a swan
shaped chariot, built to represent
cupid's court. The color used was
pink and the solid banks of hand
made chrysanthemums made a
phalanx of beauty. Attached to
various places were lovely butter
flies of light lemon color, symbolical
of the festive little god of love.
Each of the wheels were decorated
with pink flowers and silver,
In the center of the court stooc
cupid, bedecked in a lovely pink cos
tune and holding in his hand drawn
bow and arrow. The god was repres'
ented by master Donald Wright
Seated about him were three charm
ing little children, Charlotte Fields
Lucille McDade and Ellen Buchanan
each holding pink ribbons which wer'
attached to butterflies. The REIN
were in the hands of Master Free
Berryhill. Over the center was sus
pended a paraSol of pink flowers
The children were all dressed in pinl
and wore wings. A sprinkling o
diamond dust over the entire outfit
caused it to fairly glisten with beauty
There we're four outriders, Mise
Anna Fay, DuBard and Ethel Mabry
and Messrs. Emmett Powell ant
Merriwether Gabbert, mounted o.
white horses, handsomely caparisone,
with silver stars and trappings
There were two attendants and

banner with the firms name on it.
The credit for the planning of tn

e. j. wEYNETH.
Mr.. Weyneth chose for the desig
of his float the trade mark of til
Faust Blend coffee, sold by the G. L
Blanke Tea & Coffee Co., through il
agents all over the country. His ext
cution of the idea was excellent. TIL
base of the large float consisted {
: white and red chrysanthemums, wit
5 a large four-leaf clover attached t
e each wheel. Mounted above was
very large cup and saucer, trimmed j
white. Seated in this lofty place VIZ
e Mr.. Weyneth, %typically representa-
old Mephisto himself. His costun
was true to the accepted idea of no
the well known character should a
pear, and, all in all, he acted a fir,
e class devil.

A large frame nine by eighteen fe'
