RAINBOW ATTRACTS
TKRONG TO BAZAAR

and There Remains Enough
for Many More
Tonight

There was a rainbow in Los Angeles
yesterday-a rainbow more gorgeous
and attractive than was ever before
seen here. And at the end-the very
end. OF the rainboW-a pot of gold ma
terialized. Many a man and woman
rubbed their eyes yesterday when they
saw that pot of gold, the dream of
their childhood, blaze forth In reality
and while no one was found to carry 1t
all away, every one had a part of II
as keepsake.
Wonderful things have happened in
Temple Auditorium but yesterday aft
ernoon the rainbow chasers came into
their own and the women of the Tenn
pie Baptist church opened their long
planned for bazaar in glory of bright
colors, enlivened by pretty maids ana
matrons. Nor will the rainbow fade
away in a few hours, for. it will last
all day today and far into the night.
In Berean hall the prismauc colors
of the rainbow radiated, beckoned and
nodded and attracted the crowds The
ten circles of the Temple had charge of
the event. Seven devoted their efforts
to the booths-the seven colors of the
rainboW-while the remaining three
had charge of the culinary department.
And so successful were these yesterday
that long before fine closing hour the
pantry had been cleared of every eat
able and the crowds were turned away.
But today this will be remedied and
the women promise to have sufficient
food to feed every hungry person who
finds his way to that part of the build
ing.

and beauty, We'd with one another last
night for popularity, each receiving its
quota of praise and patronage.
