Tliree Beautifully Decorated Pri vate Exhibits Already Pledged by Residents of Irvington. "More individual entries!" is the urgent plea of the Rose Festival com mittee, bent upon presenting such a floral pageant, on June 24, as Port land has never witnessed since the beautiful custom of annual tribute to the rose came into being. While civic and outer-state entries have arrived in gratifying numbers, and while numbers of associations and business firms have pledged elaborate floats to the parade, it is upon the individ ual entrant that the hopes of the fes tival directors are centered. "We must have more entries with out delay," declare Winthrop Ham mond and IT. R. Blauvelt, of the floral parade committee. "A prodigality of individual participants, with the ex pression of such a diversity of floral conceptions, will do more than any other one thing to assure the premier success of the parade. And this fes tival is one that will be judged by many, many thousands of visitors from other states, assembled for the Shrine convention. The impression that remains with them will be cir culated throughout every part of the continent." ' HeadquarterM Will Aid. Prospective entrants are requested to notify headquarters. 506 Henry building, telephone' Broadway 3S32, at the earliest possible moment. The committee ia prepared to assist with suggestions, with advice as to the procuring of skilled craftsmen, with arrangements for floral frames, and with a dozen similar details that may have caused some citizens to pause before pledging an entry. -Meantime the committees in the field are working with tireless vigor and are daily making gratifying re turns. It is pointed out that, if the public spirit of Portland will meet them more than half way, the stren uous nature of the campaign will lose its edge and entries will be secured in adequate number to insure the full beauty of an extraordinary pageant. Irvington Kntrica Pledged. For the Irvington district, three beautifully decorated private entries are now pledged those of Mrs. An drew R. Porter, Mrs. Ernest Welch and Mrs. W. 11. Ross. It is felt that this section, however, will continue to respond until the number of its en tries is representati ve of the abilities of its residents to participate. Mrs. Norris Gregg, in charge of the campaign in the Westover district, has reported one decorated private en try as definitely assured, with several partially promised. Alameda has as sured the committee that it will enter a splendidly decorated community float, of novel design, with other in dividual cars and features. Mrs. J. Weston Hall will be in charge. Mrs. Chester Murphy and Mrs. Thomas Honeyman have formed an alliance for the participation of the King I street residential section, and have enlisted three private entries, with partial assurance of others to follow. ob Hill Being CanvaMsed. Among the entrants from the Nob Hill district is Nischa Uuterson, who has promised a private entry of striking aoid artistic structure. Though no further entries have been received from the district, a commit tee is thoroughly canvassing Nob Hill for a representative number of participants. Alembers of this com mittee are Mrs. W. D. Wheelwright, Mrs. Julius Louisson, and Miss Jean Mackenzie. For Willamette Heights, Mrs. Gilbert Durham reports assur ance of a representative community floral car, with the probability that individual entries will accompany. For laurelhurst. Mrs. A. C Holmes, dis trict chairman, reports but one pledged private entry, but has reiter ated her determination to procure sev eral in addition. The Cornell district is being canvassed by Mrs. Donald Spencer. Mrs. Floyd Smith reports a community entry fom Portland Heights, an exceptionally beautiful floral float and two private entries. Oswego will send a community float and several private entries, according to Mrs. Howard P' ttinger. Klabornte Exhibit Promised. One of the most elaborate entries in the competitive private entry class, it is understood, will be that of Emery Olmstead. The nature of the decora tive scheme is being kept secret even from the committee, but it is known that the entry will depart from tradi tion in an attempt to achieve the fu sion of superior beauty and origin ality. "The suburban communities of Portland are at the test of civic pride," commented Kric V. Hauser, president of the festival. "By their community and private entries the public gen erally is bound to judge not only their civic spirit-but the nature of the Jo calities themselves. Obviously where residential sections are desirable and well established tnere snould be no scarcity of flowers or funds for the Portland festival. And the cash prize as well as trophies afford practical recompense for loyal effort in the local cause." ACTIIKSS ADDS EW FRILLS TO STAGH STYLES. 1 ( :,u4 i A I . . Mile. Berg. Mile.
