of the distinctive California features or
the parade-a feature that every Call1or-

Shriners all along the route and thelr
friends greeted the emblem float with
cheers and handclapping. Thls foat the
first to make it's way along the streets,
was one of the most striking ana at the
same time most beautiful. Instead OF talr
maidens. that adorned other floats, the
silent sphinx occupied the place of honor
with the mighty camel of the desert.
Truly patriotic to the eyes of the Shriners'
this float was compliment TO the VISIT

Making it's aerial fight through the
streets with its traditional bright hght

faces of the girls that rode on this float.
Each Float Enhancing
AS variation to the bright lights of the
preceding floats came the restful tones of
the Emerald, combining as it did the
beauties of the stone and the emblem of
harp of Erin with shamrocks adorning
their white gowns, the young women truly
formed the music of the. harp.
Through a veil of dainty gauze, the yell
gigantic butterfly, with golden chariot
filled with fair maidens, represented the
many colored and beautiful Opal. With
the prevailing yellow pink and blue were

with red and green lights and here and
there the prevailing yellow ones, waving
itself this way and that, the Garnet was
the observed Of all observers.
Following this float of bright and al
most startling colors came the Pearl,
modest in it's colors, representing the gem
of the sea in it's most fascinating form. A
giant sea shell, wherein were seated beau
tiful girls, pearls without price, sea horses
and various forms from old Neptune
Neptune's domain went to make up this
float.
Moon Delights Children
Again following the beautiful bright
color of the Pearl came a contrast in the
deep blue of the Sapphire. The beautiful
form of the float, with its graceful bird
poised as If for fight, the beauty of the
girls and the novelty of the color scheme
ali tended to make this one of the popular
bits of fairyland that wended its way in
the streets all ablaze with many colored
lights.
The sleepy mooding old moon. the
Moonstone of our beaches, came brought
up to date. It's huge moon, turning lazlly
and winking its eyes in a decidedly sleepy
manner HrSC one eye ana tHeH lHe OIHeI,
with the blue clouds surrounding 1t and
the funny little observation-disclosures at either
side, was this stone of the night repre-
sented. Basking In the smiles and mods Of
the great moon the young women SHIN
mered in their graceful white robes.
Radiating with bright color, shedding a
red glow over all within it's reach, the
Tourmaline drew forth some of the loudest
cheers on the pathway of the beauteous
conceptions Half yelled within the glow
of the graceful and fllmy draperies, all in
the red tones, dark-haired beauties typical
of California as well as of the states gem,
were grouped in graceful positions rising
and falling in mechanical motion on the
flower.
Crystal Girls Dazzling
Iu dazzling white with but faint touch
of blue, the Crystal came with some of the
most fascinating daughters of Los An
light. Three globes, with a central one
surmounting the others and in turn sur
mounted by one of the pretty girls, this
float was one of the popular ones of the
parade.
Radiating with the golden hues of the
Topaz, only less bright than our own
poppy, the Topaz was one of the most
elaborate floats of the parade. With thou
sands of yellow lights outlining the arch
and the elaborate designs at either end,
the young women, all with golden tresses
that riyaled the golden hues of the lights,
presented symphony in yellow Y Grouped
together beneath the central arch, the
yellow lights shining down on their golden
heads, the young women received the ap-
plause of the throngs.
