And thus was completed the largest
and in every way the most elaborate
and pleasing parade ever seen in Gien-
wood or anywhere on the western siop.'
The parade was disbanded at the
corner OF Grand and Eighth street
where the big feast of strawberries
cream and cake had been prepared anu
here Mrs. j. NJ. Silver and host OF
willing helpers served all who came
carrying out = most popular feature
of the original Strawberry day AMI
one which has proved leading attrac'
ton of every similar festival from that
day up to the present time.
The Decorations
The street decorations were most ella
borate and more beautiful this year
than ever before. This work was
looked after in most satisfactory
manner by DIR. E. G. Bricker, eha'f-
man of the committee on decorations
and his able associates. DR.. Broker
idea of utilizing the evergreen boughs,
so plentiful in this country, was
happy one and eliminated in the con
struction across Grand avenue of
welcome arch which has attracted much
attention and much Favorable men
ton.
The Floats
The public floats were dreams OF
beauty and attracted so much FAVOR
able comment that it is but fitting that
proper credit be given to those directiy
responsible for their preparation and
who thus contributed SO much to the
success of the day.
While the work was all done under
the general direction of Mrs. M a.
Mayes as chairman of the float com
mittee, those upon whom was placed
the task of preparing the individual
floats should not be overlooked. The
two floats occupied by the queen AMI
her maids were prepared by the gen
eral float committee but this work was
under the more immediate direction CT
Mrs. Mayes and q number of willing
and faithful helpers.
The two floats representing "War
and "Peace'' and which came togeth-
er in the parade emphasizing SO nicely
these opposite conditions which just
now are attracting so much attention,
are due to the work and direction OF
Rev. and Mrs. Wells.
The beautiful Strawberry float
which attracted SO much attention was
prepared under the direction OF MS
F. W. Kaiser.
The woodland scene OF Fairyiand
float which showed in such realistic
manner the fairies and elfs in fairy
land and attracted more than passing
attention, was the work OF Miss Ains
Walz and Miss May McReavy.
