small pieces of every sort, while the
flatware ran up into the thousands.
All of it was made specially for the
steamer, as was also the linen, which
came from Belfast. Upon arrival, Sat
urday. 10000 pieces Of linen used on the
voyage over were sent out to be laun-
dered.
The croekery is all OF a special pat
tern, and vast quantities are kept at
the Liverpool store to replace the pieces
broken on every voyage. The stores in
clUde one-half million dollars worth of
wines in bond, so that no modern mari

The dining saloons are beautifully i'm
keeping with all these luxurious details.
A few panels of the hand-carved oak
of the walls would provide the price
of comfortable cottage, for they cost
$500 each. The first, second and third
class saloons each accommodate $50
persons, and the service while stimuli
taneous, is as separate as IL one group
were dining at Sherry's and one at
Shanley's. Thus the social distinctions
created by wealth. as our socialist
brethren would say, are maintained
without friction.
Thus, too, the democratic spirit
which the inland imagination pictures
as finding a lovely retreat among
ship full of people on the sea is kept
at arms length.

the English Mr.. Farnheim called them,

thing needed. That text about bread
cast upon the waters returning to you
has no application in the practical side
of steamer catering"
Then Mr.. Farnheim mentioned casu-
ally the $4,000 pounds of beef, 5000 of
mutton, 900 of lamb and a multitude of
chickens, quail. pheasants, grouse and
similar small fry-many more than
Noah had in the ark. He didn't speak
of fish, and 1 forgot to ask if the ship
had a tank arrangement somewhere
under the hull in which they were kept,
but 1 am sure such provision has been
made Cor the broiled live lobster of
midnight feasts.
L thought of the lean and hungry
Columbus again; his brain would have
reeled instead Of his stomach. Mr.
Farnheim said he supposed Columbus
had only hard tack and timed beef to
eat when he made mis- record breaking
trip, which was funny, as Armour &
Co. had not been discovered then.
The important process of eating is
achieved as follows, Mr. Farnheim
said:
Six Meals Each Day.
Coffee. or tea, and rolls are served
in the staterooms. breakfast is from 3
to 10 O'Clock. from II TO II O'Clock
bouillon and sandwiches are served,
from 1 to , o'clock we have luncheon,
from 4 to 5 is the hour for afternoon
tea. with biscuits and cakes; from Z
to 8 dinner is served, and any sort OF
little supper may be had later by any
body who wants it.
1--WE even have flowers i'm the refrig-
orator, and the first day or two out
PEOPLE giving little dinners may have
flowers too"
Eating being a means of filling the
vacant hours of the voyage. little din
ner parties are very popular and special
arrangements are made for private
parties. They may have their own
menu printed, for this, too is done on
board, a press being included in the
equipment, and special silver services
are provided.
The silver room of the Mauretania
was a whole shop in appearance. There
were 800 silver entree dishes. 800 vege-

For people who live to eat, the big
new turbiner Mauritania is a lifeboat,
and z. Farnheim says that eating is
the chief occupation of most voyages.
Mr.. Farnheim ought to know, for
he is one of the heads of the Cunard
CCmpany's catering department. After
talking to him awhile I realized the
vast difference between buying the
daily bread of a small family at the
corner grocery and the catering for
over fifty ships whose passengers eat
all day and nearly all night.
Mr.. Farnheim came over on the
Mauretania on sort of tour of in
spectlOn to be assured that the new
ship was entirely perfect from the
gourmands standpoint When | met
him Saturday on board the ship the
first thing he did was to offer me a
cup of tea. They serve food and drink
so much that it is almost an automatic
thing. and this was the hour for after
noon tea on board.
Nothing to Do But Eat.
When asked to tell why people ate
more on sea than on land, MIR. Farm
helm said:
Perhaps it is because they have no.
thing else to do. They are accustomed
to doing other absorbing things, and
eating is incidental to the busy person.
but on board ship it is changed-they
are isolated from the world of business
and eating becomes sort of occupS-
ton. The sea air provides the indis-
pensable sauce of hunger.
The plans for keeping the pangs Of
hunger from gnawing the helpless pas
sengers are part of the astonishing
modern luxury referred TO. 1 saw the
kitchen, where fifty-five chefs and
labor TO quell the effects of the
sea air. and there is a perfectly equip
ped bakery, too.
You see,' said Mr.. Fanrheim, 1--WE

over 1000 people every day. and we

Pasadena Bankers

Six coal black horses, drawing a mag
nihcent break completely covered with
white Stevia and Cecil Bruner roses
and pink carnations, combined to make
one of the most beautiful entries of
the parade.
The white harness on the animals
stood out in contrast to their glossy
black coats, while great canopy made
of DELICATE roses, representing a crown,
with an enormous key of yellow Cen
torias, typified the city's coat of arms.
At each corner of the vehicle de-
pended three crowns of diminishing
size. each with its small floral key.
Beautiful ropes of Stevia roses hung
from the greater crown to the body of
the vehicle, and while in the break
rode the bankers dressed in black with
Mamon Cochet roses as boutonnieres.
Leading the vehicle rode a herald.
bearing 81 large green banner with the
word Bankers" on one side and crown
on the other. This entry was designed
and elaborated by Mrs. Bassett.

Hardware Dealers, Float

One of the most beautiful in the parade,
the hardware dealers float was the de-
sign of w. H. Stenger, the Altadena nur-
seryman. 1t represented a great butter
fly and was noticeable for it's brilliant
coloring. The entry was made by the
hardware dealers, plumbers and electri-
cal dealers Of Pasadena.
Richard Groves. representing Cupid,
drove the great butterfly, the partly
opened wings of which were covered with
yellow and white flowers.
Hundreds of California sunhowers, from
which the yellow centers had been re-
moved, were used to represent the deli
cate tracery of veins on the wings. while
other clusters of various flowers depicted
the vari-hued spots.
Long white ribbons were used by Cupid
to drive his novel stage. he standing in
a bower of handsome plants at the rear
of the float. The body of the vehicle
was entirely hidden by greenery, and
greens were literally used In decorating
the horses. Over three thousand blossoms
were used on the butterfly in producing
the desired effect.

scented the design of the Mckinley school.
Four maidens from the institution rode
in the flower basket. the body of which
was composed of white marguerites.
From the three sides of the basket poles
extended, from the ends of which de-
pended small baskets of beautiful white
roses.
Footmen accompanied the float bearing
in their hands streamers fastened to the
basket itself Two beautiful white horses
with yellow harness decked out in flow
ers drew the carriage and its load of
flowers.

Wilson's Queen of Hearts

The Queen of Hearts and her train
were charmingly represented by the
Wilson school, the entire design having
been the artistic work of Mrs. Paul Z.
Stewart. The body of the vehicle was
covered with crimson carnations and ge-
raniums. upon which were designs in
hearts outlined in white.
Each wheel showed a rosette of four
big red hearts, while at the back, sup
porting the throne of the young queen,
were three large hearts of red flowers
with smaller hearts at the sides, and fes-
toons of hearts falling from them. Along
the sides of the vehicle were caught
ropes of daisies, and much smilax ives
used about the tallyho. At each corner
were standards to which were caught
punches of red roses.
Six handsome gray horses, with their
names threaded with crimson and caught
with strings of red hearts, were attached
to the tallyho, with their harnesses Law
ishly decorated with red flowers and
smilax.
The Queen of Hearts, Miss Leila Town
send, wore a skirt Of red with a band of
white hearts. Down the front panel were
caught red and white hearts; white waist
with big red heart on the breast; puffed
white sleeves. with hearts. Her crown
was of tiny red hearts and her scepter
was heart-tipped.
Tho outriders bore lances tipped with
hearts. They wore Elizabethan costumes,
each tabard showing a white triangle
upon which was a red heart. They wore
thirteenth century caps formed of a band
of red hearts around a quaint puff of
white.
The girls riding in the coach wore white
gowns with red fichus caught with red
satin hearts The girls riding. beside the
queen, were Cecil Carr Helen Sutliff,
Amy Hill, Elsie Lee. Agnes Gemmill.

The boys were Joe Afish, herald; Glenn
