The noon rush was over at the cafe teria, but the crowds still thronged the gangway and the tables, for the Rose Festival had filled up the city as never before. The chef and his assistants in the kitchen were worked to a frazzle, the dishwashers were faint with fa tigue, and the servers wished the. event was. over for they were all dog tired.
