MAIDS AND NATIONS BUSY

Every maid and matron is fully
aware of the enhancing possibilities
of the Portola red and yellow, and
each is wrinkling her fair brow in an
effort to devise some novel and unique
scheme for introducing a dash of red
and a flash of yellow IT must not be
forgotten that Portola week is a fes-
,tival carnival. and the costumes &c
be worn must be those symbolic of the
fiests-ma squerade garments charac-
teristic of the early Spanish days OF
Don Gaspar de Portola. There is very
little time left for the preparing and
ordering of these costumes and the
maids who delay longer in their selec-
tons will be entirely out of things
when the gay and festive city enter
tains old Don Gaspar and his royal
court
MERCHANTS INTERESTED
To remind them OF the disaster OF
delay, the merchants should begin to
fill their windows with all the red and
yellow doodads and fluffy ruffies SO
dear to the feminine heart. Some of
them have already done this and the
others must now follow suit. not only
for displaying purposes but 10 deck
the city in festive garb and to give
some visible sign of enthusiasm and
interest in the biggest festival San
Francisco has ever witnessed.
II will indeed be a glorious sight to
see all the city's beautiful new build
ings and stores bedecked with thou
sands and thousands of yards of bunt-
ing, car loads upon car loads of flags
and pennants. brilliant emblems and
miles of gay festooning. Decorators
are working overtime in the attempt TO
