raised dais, miss Broadway" was

ing, each dressed in a beautiful cos
tune and carrying a scepter upon

progress Of Los Angeles was engraved.
The lower part of the platform on
which the queen and her attendants
sat was hung with Japanese lanterns
and pampas plumes were used effec-
lively in the decorations.
