were used to get the desired effect.
Leroy d. Ely, principal of the high
school, was in charge of the trimming,
and succeeded in getting a most beau
tiful result with the flowers used.
A crown of white carnations was sup
ported over the center of the vehicle,
the crown being purple in the center
and gradually shading into pure white
on the edges. A purple banner in deli
cate French curves hung down from
the crown to the head of each banker
in the car. The crown was supported
from the back of the car, and each
supporter was hidden in the carna-
| tions.
To break the straight lines of the
sides of the machine, large baskets of
violets, tied with beautiful bows of
purple chiffon and pure white satin
ribbon, were hung at each corner.
Gold colored ribbon was also draped
prettily through and around the bas-
kets.

Wallpaper and Paint Dealers
| The wallpaper and paint dealers of
/ the city used surrey as the founda-
tion of their float. A ladder was ex-
tended about six feet into the air
| from each corner of the surrey, sup
| porting a roof of green Smilax. The
dainty little marguerites We're used to
cover the body of the float and the lad
| derS were wound in red geraniums.
| The rest of the vehicle was trimmed
with smilax and geraniums, the harness
being wound with smilax also.
| Under this odd roof two little ones,
Elsie Delbridge and Warren Brigham.
Little Elsie wore fluffy muslin dress.
trimmed in red, and very pretty red
and white hat, and beside her sat War

trimmed in red, and little red cap.
H. w. Wadsworth, ]. A. Phelps,
Green-Marshai company, c.. P. Allen
and j. H. Mitchell were the merchants
that combined together to have this
float.
Lumber Float Is Novel
The float entered by the united lum-
ber companies of Pasadena was odd
indeed, for from one end of the float
to the other ran a large sign, made
out of pepper boughs, asparagus plu-
mosis and smilax, as a background,
and in this was written the word
Lumber" in white marguerites
| A pretty bank of green hung over
the sides and back of the float to cover
the running gear of the vehicle.
The lumber men Of the city that were
represented in this float were William
Davis, of the Ganahl-Davis company;
l.. w. Blinn of the Northumberland
company, Peter Orban of the Orban-
McCament company, and men from
the Consolidated Lumber company, and
Beck e. Seely company.
Horn of Plenty for Clothiers
The float of the combined clothiers
of the city was symbol of the great
horn OF plenty, and was commented
upon by most everyone as they saw
1t coming down the street. Red ge-
raniums were used generously and the
effect was beautiful to see. The horn
of plenty was one mass of geraniums,
with smilax and asparagus plumosis TO
break che monotony of the red ge-
raniums. A feature which caused the
spectators to cheer heartily was the
fact that there were seven little red
horns extending out of the mouth of
the large horn of plenty, and it made
up one of the prettiest pieces of the
whole show.
Smilax was used plentifully through
out the float and large bows of tulle and
red ribbons were scattered around the
horn. The firms represented in this
beautiful float were II. C. Hotaling. w.
X. Dunn, Heiss Bros, r. Williams
and Brenner & Wood.
Merchants Well Represented
The three-seated four-in-hand of the
Merchants Association of Pasadena
was among the most attractive entries,
in which rode the directors of the as
sociation. Smilax and marguerites
were used extensively TO decorate this
float. Marguerites trimmed the entire
body of the float and the wheels were
wound with smilax. with an occasional
marguerite.
Ii was very simple and yet attrae-
tive and pretty decoration and was
designed by Mrs d. S. Bassett Of this
city
