Crowned Queen at Holywood's Tournament


" ~
III OF Friday and Saturday morning
the volunteers had worked garlanding
the floats autos, turnouts and floral
pieces ready for the parade that all
bloom, spinks, cuttings, branches and
leaves should look their freshest. Much
of this foresight was made useless by
the sprinkle. but beyond bedraggling
some of the ribbons. cloth hangings and
garters on the horses the effect was not
depressing.
Yellow and pink seemed to be the
favorite colors in the floral scheme for
the moving picture on wheels. Wild
mustard, marigolds, lemons, sunfiowers
and poppies were most abundant. In
equal profusion were dark, red and
pink geraniums and carnations. White
daisies and marguerites and lilies
ranked next.
Not only were the turnouts snowy in
their wealth of colors, but most of the
boys and girls and men and women in
line were appropriately costumed. Most
of the young women, for instance, wore
yellow dresses, hair ribbons and para
soils of a color to match the decora-
tions their rigs carried
