Who Are to BE Hosts
During Fiesta


Say where the great Semiramis
Sleeps In a red rose tomb: and where
The precious dust of Caesar is,
or Cleopatra's yellow hair;
The winds have blown them all away
Where now is Alexander DO or Dare?
Where are the dreams of yesterday?
In what sweet Isle of Bliss
Apollo breathes ambrOsial air
And Venus fingers debonnair?
The winds have blown them all away.
The Shriners of AL Malakian temple
are sitting UP and taking notice of the
various temple papers which are reach
ing the coast from the east, and the
above from Lu Lu temple, oasis Of
Philadelphia, Pa, has stirred feeling
within the majestic breasts of the il
l1strious potentate and lesser lights
that the visit to Los Angeles shall not
be classed with 1.-THE dreams of yes
terday" and be blown away For this
very reason they are going to spend
$50, 900 good bright silver dollars. earned
partially by the burnt cork on their
brows.
Already the notable red fez Of each
Shriner is being brushed and the jew
els shined in honor of the arrival of

Eat BroiIed Humming Birds
The local temple is bound to outdo
all attempts by any other temple, and
make the coming session the best
ever" Lu Lu temple of Philadelphia
gave its traditional banquet" not long
ago, the following description of it
serving as an incentive to do them
one better:
1.-THE mocking-bird consomme was
delicious; the sparrow-squab pies re-
minded us of the floating gondolier
parties on the beautiful blue Danube;
the oyster frizzles, crimped and blist-
nicely: those delicate Nile-green
pickles did yeoman service with the
turkey croquets and canvas-backs,
while the intoxicating, exquisite terra
pin stew, as it tricl<led from the ladle
over our shoulder, gave a prominent,
glossy appearance to our immaculate
shirt front; the dainty grouse from the
hiding glades Of Perkasie. broiled to a
nut-brown shade, stayed the order of
departure of our old friends and
brother Shrners.
Real, solid silver spoons stuck deep
into the tri-colored Crane creams; the
apple dumplings swan, light as air, in
the clearest and best of sugar drip
pings: the polished plates looked too
unblemished to be soiled with French
fried and tomato sauce; crab and
chicken salads tempted the waning ap-
petite.
Drink Their Good Old Camel Milk
"Ambrosial coffee, drawn from the
polished silver urns-fit for the gods
left its brown and purple stain on the
fringed doylies and the perfumeC
smoke from the long-stemmed pipes il
the Persian chambers came floating
down the tiled walls and marble stir
ways just as the band struck up.
Braun camel'S milk was not for.
hidden ingredient, but was welcomed
as being an important factor in giving
inspiration and tone to the entire func.
