of honor
Six splendid horses, gayly caparis-
oned, drew the float upon which her
throne was placed. high above the
crowds around her. The float was
massed with flowers from end to end.
, On it. peeping out from giant roses
and massive leaves, were little children,
who laughed and called to their friends

of roses, which had been going on all

scenes that followed around the float
Of the carnival queen. The air was
thick with the dainty missives. The
crowds hurled their choicest bouquets
upon the already heavily laden float and
these were hurled back by the children.
