the multitude as no other spectacle
could have done.
The Liberty chorus. under the lead
ership of A. j. Teare and Mrs. AS
plund, rendered music whenever and
wherever wanted or needed. and that
without a penny of expense to the
fiesta committee.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. De Huff of the Uni
ted States Indian school gave invalua-
BILE support.
Finally, the Plaza fete by the Wo-
mans Board of Trade gave atmos-
phere with the Plaza market, the
Spanish tea garden, the Spanish dam
GERS and the serving of Spanish viands
under the portals fthe Old Palace.
Mrs, T. z. Winters, the president Mrs.
Edgar l.. Hewett in charge of the
Plaza, Mrs. Asplund in. charge of the
Spanish dancers, Mrs. Rolls, Mrs.
Twitchell and Mrs. Pond in charge of
the ice cream garden, and other men,
bers of the board in charge of booths,
of the serving of meals, of various ar
rangements. worked like Trojans and
contributed immensely to the general
success.
Miss Felicitas Kaune and her do
nestle art class OF the high school,
without cost to the committee. made
the franciscan costumes, and the
manual training class fashioned the
crosses Many others could be men
toned, all of them working together
unselfishly, a striking contrast to
few who sought to profiteer and
charged the limit for every minutes
work asked of them, or who refused
to contribute anything whatever unless
full pay was guaranteed. Suffice it
to say. Santa Fe is congratulating it
self and is being shewered with con-
gratulations by the visitors who were
not only impressed by the beauty of
the fiesta features but marveled at the
community team work which made
the undertaking possible.

Tuesday evening, Museum night, in
room of the new Museum. the Wo-

to rs artists, writer's. distinguished
visitors and associates in museum

Capital city. 1t was a simple meal
that was served. There was no pre-
