PARADE IS.
A CERTA|NTY NOW
At Least Fifty Decorated Ma
chimes Are To Be In Line-AH
~ Are Invited To Add Others

Plans for the big automobile floral
parade Of Carnival Week, to be held
Immediately following the military
parade the morning Of Washington 5
Birthday are rounding into form in a
manner which indicates that it easih
will be one Of the. features of Homo.
lulu's festival season. - - 3 ~
This Is the event in which the wo
men of.the Outdoor Circle have agreed
to take a large part, with guaranty
that they will furnish at least fifty
ears. This in itself is generally, looked
upon as an assurance of the parade s
success, though the Outdoor Circle is
supplying merely one section of the
spectacle! Honolulu lodge of Elks has
promised section of twenty machines,
1t is understood, while the Mystic
Shriners are said to have promised IF.
teen cars and the Chiefs of Hawaii ten.
More than majority of the number
of machines which will be entered un-
der the banner of the Outdoor Circle
have been enrolled, but more are re-
CURED to bring the section up to the
size promised and Mrs. James BicknelI,
chairman of the Circles automobile
committee, is asking for more volun-
teers.
Car Decorated or Not
can we ask is that owners furnish
car and driver, if they desire. If
they are not prepared or haven't the
time to decorate the machines we will
attend to that. If they prefer to deco,
rate the cars themselves II will be even
more satisfactory. They may employ
any scheme of dressing they think best
using bunting, the national colors,
flags, flowers, foliage or any other ma
terial which will help to create an at
tractive, unique or unusual spectacle
The preference however, is that beauty
be the motif; that grotesque designs be
employed only where beauty is the
truly dominating note"
In its own name the Outdoor Circle
has arranged to enter ear dressed
typically as representing the ideals and
personality of the organization. Tn
material for this is to be hibiscus, OF
course, The decorating will be done
by the executive committee, consisting
of Mrs. F. J. Lowrey, chairman; Miss
Bertha Young, Mrs. l.. A. Thurston
Mrs. W. l.. Moore and Mrs. Z. o
Mathes0n.
Neighbor Circles Helping
Different neighborhoOd circles of thu
Outdoor Circle also are to be represent
ed, among them Kapiolani Park, Pun
nui, Makiki, Kaimuki and perhaps the
MRDos Pacific Heights circles. The Adj
vertiser likewise will have car in the
pageant, dressed in representative and
artistic fashion.
Citizens who are willing to help in
making the event worthy one by von
tributipS their machines for the occa
sion are requested to notify either Mrs
