headquarters at 551 South Broadway
Saturday afternoon. 1t made a big
sensation without doubt 1t is the
SWEETEST place of the kind in this or
any other city. 1t is truly spectacu-
lar. One has the feeling come over
him as he stands in awe and gazes at
the myriads of electric lights that he
is surely in fairyland. The idea of
fitting up the place was gathered by
Mr.. Christopher during his recent trip
abroad To say it is magnificent is put
ting 1t mildly.
Mr. Christopher has long since been
recognized as the man who has made
Los Angeles famous for "sweet shops.
He spares neither pains nor money TO
make his place of business so attract
i've that when one starts out with tnelr
friends they have only one place in
view. and that place is Christopher's s.
AS one enters the spacious parlor ON
the first floor his eyes catch at once
the originality of the designs. The ar
chitecture of the soda fountain and
other Interior fixtures. candy cases, wal
mirrors. etc, is an original creation, re-
minding one somewhat of the evolution
of the art nouVeau.

top of marble and onyx. The re-
freshment counter begins where the
soda fountain leaves off and extends to
the grand staircase in the rear, which
leads to the second story. The general
effect with it's wall mirrors Is one or

general scheme by the light fixtures.
The grand staircase leads from the
center rear portion of the parlor in one
wide flight to the first landing. Here
in the center of the wall is large
semicircular opalescent art glass win
dow, with a familiar scene from the
Rhine. From this landing the stairs
branch in two flights leading to the
second floor Here is rotunda, the
principal feature of which is a large
elliptical well exposing a total view OF
the first floor. Above this well the sec

of same shape and dimensions of the
well, the center of which contains q
horizontal art glass sash. On this floor
are three rooms closely connected. One
is known as the English, all in blue:
the middle one the French, in pink, and
truly Partisan: the third one. in
leather brown, is typical Dutch room.
Here can be entertained a small party
or a large one by throwing all the
rooms together.
Last. but not least, is the immense
banquet hall, 23x40. with finishings of
white and coral. On this floor also are
two carefully equipped offices.

HANNIBAL HAMLIN'S
BIRTH IS OBSERVED
MAINE SOCIETIES HONOR SAGE
OF PINE TREE STATE
Former Residents of Dirigo Commons
wealth Meet at Picnic at syca-
more Grove and Listen to
"reminiscences

The birth of Hannibal Hamlin of
Maine. statesman. diplomat and pa
triot, was commemorated at Sycamore
grove yesterday by the Pine Tree
State society of Los Angeles and the
Maine State association of Pasadena
in a joint picnic.
The basket picnic, in true Maine
fashion, was arranged between the two
societies for the date which would
commemorate the centenary of the
birth of the distinguished citizen of
Maine, who was vice president during
Lincoln's first administration and who
would have been president had he been
reelected as vice president for the
second term.
Judge Walter NJ. York of the state
branch, himself a son of Maine. was
the orator of the day. He knew Hanni-
bal Hamlin personally and was able to
relate some personal recollections of
the great statesmen and diplomat.
Judge York said it was a regrettable
event that Hamlin was not vice presi-
dent when the immortal Lincoln was
struck down by an assassin's bullet
instead of the Tennesseean, johnson,
who fell far short of the measurements
of chief executive at that time.
Judge York was applauded frequently
by the assembled crowd, numbering
nearly 500 persons from Pasadena and
Los Angeles. Speeches were made by
Rev. w. w. Ogear, chairman of the en-
tertainment committee; Prof. Walter j.
Bailey, president of the Los Angeles
Pine Tree State society; Rev. DR.. D. j.
Bailey, president of the Maine State
association of Pasadena; Judge Mer-
Ram of Pasadena; Rev. Forbes, presi-
dent of the New England society, and
others.
basket lunch in keeping with cult
nary inventions known to Maine was
introduced, including lemonade, coffee.
New England baked beans, mince pie
and doughnuts. Mrs. Daniels, who
danced with Hannibal Hamlin when
she was a girl of 10 years old. related
the experience she had at the ball in
Bangor, Maine. The occasion was
thoroughly enjoyed and on July 5 New
Englanders will meet at Eastlake park
for a general good time and social
meeting,
