~ in Los Angeles, and with her
maids and her beautiful little adopted
daughter Lillian, is occupying hand
some suite of apartments at the Adams,
on Grand avenue.
1t seems odd to see Mrs. Singleton
with daughter who is already leaving
her baby days behind her, and triends
are again telling the romance of the
little waif whose sad story, related in
the columns of the New York press,
first aroused the interest of the warm
hearted woman who Is now her roster
mother The story was flashed from
coast to coast, and here in Los An
geles the next morning friends read OF
Mrs. Singleton's refusal to permit any
one to indicate to her from group of
strange children the baby girl upon

Alright. This indeed proved true. and
resulted In a case of love at first

dent Mrs. Singleton,s name will always
recall the fiesta parade that was dis
tnguished by the presence of President

hall, and again hear the cheers that
went up from thousand threats In
honor of the chief executive of the
land.
In the division formed by the flower
decked private vehicles there was mono
to eclipse the Singleton carriage, drawn
by the prancing coal black horses,
whose trappings of lavender were Of
the same color as were the gowns worn
by Mrs. Singleton and her sister, Miss
Lillian Graham. The outfit was one
OF the notable entries in that division,
and attracted much admiring attention
all along the line of parade. When the
carriage was in a direct line with the
president the driver stopped the horses
and Mrs. Singleton tossed bunch of
violets directly into Mr.. Roosevelt's
hands, in return for which she received
a low bow and a spoken word of
thanks all her own.

baby Lillian was renamed. is with her
sister at the Adams, enjoying short
