Cherry Fair and Fourth of July
celebrations. and Salem Chautauqua,
have filled this week to overtlowlng
with work and pleasure. Notwlth-
standing the advent of good weather,
and the insistent call to the woods and
seashore, card playing among society
folk still holds full sway Nothing
formal has been attempted this week,
hut numerous small delightful affairs
have kept up round of pleasure
During the first days Of the week,
the Willamette river was dotted with
lanches and canoes; many of the
crowds enjoying supper on shore around
"a bonfire.

Many of the beautiful floats in the au-
tomobile parade surpassed in elabora-
ton and artistic design those OF the
Portland rose festival The lack of
numbers was made up by the beauty
of decoration. The queens chariot
was by far the most artistic of any
previously constructed. For the beau
tiful queen, Miss Marie Bollinger and
her pretty maids, Miss Florence Hous
ton and Miss Margaret Poisal, a car
of wisteria and feathery foliage, with
lattice canopy daintily decorated with
the vines and tassel blossoms, was the
artistic work of Monroe Gilbert.
Queen Marie, Royal Queen Ann the
Eighth, was picture fair to look
upon. Her handsome gown was fash
iOned of white crepe de chine with
pearl beaded over dress and the insig-
MIA of her rank, the purple velvet cape
robe edged with white fur completed
a most beautiful costume.
Her crown was of pearls and wonder.

were bands of pearls.
Preceding the royal chariot was q

petals before the queen were Miss
Florence HOfer, Miss Gertrude East
