IS OPEN SESAME
NOTHING TOO GOOD FOR THE
FEZ WEARERS
Los Angeles and Beach Towns Doing
Everything to Entertain Visitors
WHO Swear They'll Re-
turn In 1907

Nothing is too good for the Shrin-
ers" Is the slogan of Los Angeles and
surrounding towns The noble Shriners
are being feted at every resort and
their badges are open sesames. Pla-
cards of welcome are followed up by
the gland hand and everything is be-
ing done to make them want to stay
in the\ land of sunshine.
The nearby towns are doing their
full share in entertaining the mobiles
and their women and many pleasant
side trips have added attractiveness
and piquancy to the visit.
Tales from these resorts will be told
and retold in the frozen east and the
imperial council of 1907 in Los An
geles will doubtless prove a record
breaker in attendance, for all who are
here wish to return and many have al
ready signified their intention of doing
so, and they will encourage those who
have remained at home to journey to
the west land.
Club Happy Rendezvous
Plans are daily being furthered for
the grand Fiesta parade, and the visit
ing Shriners, as well as the local no.
hles, are entering into it with a vim
that portends good results.
The Shriners' division. each noble
with red fez and miniature electric
light and a Japanese umbrella, in odd
contrast to the evening suits, will
doubtless prove one of the most pop
ular divisions of the parade.
The Visiting Shriners' club proves a
happy rendezvous for every one, and
flowers and fruits in abundance never
fail to bring forth great admiration.
The Shriners from widely different
points discuss the great time they are
having and their respective temples
Much good natured rivalry is mani
tested and each temple seems to be
trying to bring the largest contingent
OH the next pilgrimage.
AS in previous days, the beaches have
proven attractive to many, and many
have taken a dip in the Pacific. Mt.
Lowe attracts many each day, who are
invariably highly pleased with the
scenic trip.
