l The major portion of the Spanish = American population and a goodly portion of the rest of the inhabitants 1 of Phoenix. made the "Kermess' staged for the past two nights, by i the Frimrosa club, their port of call for at least an hour or so. Many went for q good time some out of curiosity to see whether it was something to eat or to wear, and l the rest went for something good to eat

 Real genuine Mexican meals were served, cooked by someone who evi- dently kney the business. served in dainty manner with their original and rather hot dressing spread all over them.
 Flower girls, candy girls and girls with tickets for so many different kinds of nice things swarmed around. that it was almost impossible to re- fuse to buy.
 Whenever some young man, who looked as if he needed to be relieved of what spare change he happened to be carrying around looked happy or too downhearted, or misbehaved in any other manner. was caught off his guard. young lady police man would step up to him, stick a pistol in his face and inform him that he was under arrest, and that he had better come quietly along to police court. There he was fined according to the enormity of his offense
 An orchestra was there also and added to the gaiety of the occasion by sending forth strains of soft spanish lullabies. During the even ing Spanish dances were put on. by young men and women dressed in native Spanish garb
