DECORATIONS COSTLY
Motley H. Flint states that the flor
al decorations for the ballroom at
Shriners' auditorium will cost $4,000,
and will exemplify the world-famed
florar wealth of Southern California.
There will be Spanish smoking rooms,
decorated la Castilian and sugges-
tive of the old pueblo days, where the
men may enjoy their fragrant weed;
languorous Japanese tea gardens with
subdued oriental light effects, veri-
table hanging garden of ferns and
flowers; a Spanish patio, reached by
a Wonderland vista of enchanted land
scape. replete with magic fountains
and palm -fringed bowers and sylvan
recesses; interior and exterior decora-
tions presenting effects seldom before
attempted, and many other novel and
impressive embellishments to please
the eye and crarm the spirit, includ-
ling, of course, the best musical gra-
gram that money can procure.
1t is now said that but 800 cards VIII
be issued to the local bankers and their
wives, as more than 5000 visiting guests
are expected. The committee is de-
termined that the Auditorium shall not
be uncomfortably crowded.
Trips to Catalina, Pasadena, the va
rious beach resorts and elsewhere;
number of fashionable theater parties;
luncheons, banquets, garden fetes, au-
tomobile and yachting trips, series OF
400" fetes and other forms of enter
tainment are included in the social
program
The business session of the bankers
and of the organization of state BANK
ers secretaries and of the many com
mittees and subcommittees, the most
of which latter will be held October 3,
indicate that the business to be trans
acted by the bankers will be volum-
inous and occupy much of their time
during the days, hence it is probable
that the festivities planned for the
evenings will prove the most elaborate.
The Rev. Robert j. C'Bob'D Bur-
dette will deliver the invocation at the
opening session of the convention Mon
day morning in Temple auditorium.
following which there will be an adj
| dress of welcome by Mayor George Al
exander and Governor Gillett. w. H.
