Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-25


wisteria is on the way from Chicego
for the Central store. The flowers will
be artificial, but J. c. Schafer, who is
superintending the dressing Of the
store for Fiesta, states they will be
quite as effective as the natural. These
VIII be festooned with their foliage
from every window ledge, interspersed
with hundreds of electric lights. AS
the building Is four stories high, this
will make a big showing for the unique
decorative scheme. In honor of the
visiting Shriners the Masonic emblems
will also be displayed. In the store
the fancy lotus globes will be taken
down and replaced by Japanese Ian
terms, and natural flowers will be
placed in the windows.
Bulocks to Use Flowers
At Bullocks the flowers to be used
with the other decorations have not
been decided upon as yet. Whatever
kind is chosen, the windows and the
ground floor will be the places of their
display. Flags and lights and the
Fiesta coors will finish out the deco
rative scheme.
The design drawn for the Vile de
Paris shows a very pretty arrange
ment of arching palms across the front
of the store, flanking a display Of
Fiesta colors and lights.
At Jacoby's the decorator is work.
ing out an original design that will
require great quantities of flowers and
lavish expenditure will be made to
do honor to the occasion, according to
the statement of Leo Jacoby, manager.
The progressive and liberal spirit of
the true westerner Is shown by the
management of the Bon Marche. They
had already ordered a large quantity
of bunting, when the floral idea was
decided upon. Now, in order to be In
harmony with the other business
places along the street, the entire
decorative scheme will be changed so
as to admit of the use of flowers
The j. r. Lane company will have
all their flowers inside the store, with
the outside trimmed In the convention
al bunting and electric lights.
Other stores have not completed their
plans, but all are working to surpass
the efforts of every previous Fiesta
and will show the visiting Shriners
how beautiful the city of Los Angeles
Is In gala dress.
The Boston store has already con-
tracterd for large arch of carnations
to be renewed daily. Blanchard hall,
adjoining, will also be a great mass of
the same flowers, which F. w. Blan-
chard ordered last Monday. he being
the first to take decided action on the
plan.
Plans for the great electrical pageant
which will be a feature of the Shriner
conclave are rapidly crystallizing. Po-
tentate NJ. H. Flint and Perry w.
Weidner have settled on the order of
march and declare that from the point
of number of patrols in line it will be
the greatest display ever seen in any
city.
There will be twelve divisions with
a grand division commander at the
head of each. Fifteen bands, twenty
five patrols and delegations from
eighty-four temples will take part in
the spectacle.
Islam temple, San Francisco, has sent
word that it will arrive in Los Angeles
Saturday night, May 4. A special train
will bear 500 northern Shriners to this
city. They will be accompanied by a
large delegation from Honolulu and the
special will probably be made up Of
two sections.
Several hundred Shriners from Sac
ramento, Stockton and other northern
cities will arrive at IL o'clock the same
night.
In addition to other attractions it is
probable that the Pacific squadron will
be sent here for the conclave.
