picture with the colorful costumes
of the queen's retinue and her many
attendants. The Royal Rosarian
band, George Hall, drum major, led
the way, followed by the Royal
Rosarians In full uniform, Robert
Krohn In command.
Fairy Queen Comes Next.
Came next the fairy queen and
her pink, lavender and golden
fairies, with Prince Charming-, royal
pillow bearer, tiny attendants,
cupids, pages and groups of court
dancers, who. with the. Pnuiian
in two ranks, lined the way for

All mads deep obeslance to her as
. she mounted' ner throne, escorted
by Eric V. Hauser and J. H. Dun
dore, the former president of the
festival and the latter the queen's
prime minister. It was Mr. Hauser
who pressed the crown upon the
queen's brow as she knelt -upon a
silken cushion. The diadem was
presented by a delegation from the
Portland Business Women's clubs,
Mrs. Adelia Prichard, president, and
contained 856 Jewels, pigeon "blood
rubies and white sapphires.
Mayor Baker presented the queen
wtth a floral key to the city. He
spoke of the honor that has come
to Portland at this festival by rea
son of the recognition of President
Harding, who sent a personal Rep

army and navy officers, and other
honored guests.
Scene Held Unequaled.
"Never in the history of any other
city of the. United States ha a
scene like this been presented," he
said. "Before this sea of happy
faces, in the midst of this riot of
beautiful colors, we have assembled
to open our'festival season. Queen
Harriet, open wide the city's gates
and let joy reign supreme."
Before the royal court was then
performed a aeries of dances that
were a succession of delights ' One
followed the other promptly, Robert
Krohn directing, a big: grass--carpet-ed
space directly before the throne
being used. The day was at its
prettiest, sunshine not too bright
and overhead the tall firs that are'
the crowning glory of the great
park.. ( .
Some of the groups of dancers
were living rainbows, gay in color
and pure poetry in motion. Others
trod more stately measures, while
solo and duet dances lent variety
and but added to the beauty of the
picture.
The dancing children -trod as
lightly as sunbeams cast upon dew
sprinkled grass through trees sway,
ing lightly in a summer breeze.
Their steps were as delightful as
moonlight upon rippling waves of a
.slowly flowing river. But who can
describe the happy play of these
radiant girls, many of them mere
tots of three it was all too dear
for words.
Beauty Called Wonderful.
Many who enjoyed yesterday's
spectacle said it was the most won
derfully beautiful thing they had
ever seen. Miss Alice Mary Robert
son, personal envoy of President
Harding said so, and that was high
praise, indeed.
After the grand entry and the
crowning of the queen there was

Skilled Weaving of Intricate Steps
Fitting Close to First Day of
Queen Harriet's Reign.
A Thousand upon thousands filled
the slope and terraces of Laurel
hurst park last night to view Port
land children in ' interpretative
dances, a most fitting close to the
first day of Queen Harriet's reign.
This was a repetltiqn of part of the
afternoon's programme, with the
skilled court dancers .weaving tliair
intricate steps for the delight of
their queen's many happy subjects.
The cool night breezes and the
dark trees In shadowy outline
against the sky gave added charm
to this effective presentation. So
quiet were the spectators, save for
their outbursts of enthusiastic ap
plause, that Laurelhurst Park
seemed far removed from' the tur
moil of a city. The tiny dancers
looked as If they might well have
been the good fairies and the beau
tiful flowers that they represented,
dancing in fabled fashion. '
Huge spotlights, attached high up
in the trees, bathed the dancing
figures in light, so that all could
see with ease. The colorful cos
tumes looked especially beautiful at
night. An orchestra furnished music.

an Indian living at Taholah, and her
4-year-old son were thrown Into
a ditch full of water and the child

Acres of blossoms laid out in
charming and original beds with
backgrounds of tall shrubbery ana
lattices over which roses and vines
clamber make the park blocks from
Salmon to Jefferson street a veri
table fairyland. The graveled paths
wind between beds of glowing
flowers and a skillful color scheme
has been observed by E. T. Mische,
who laid out the plans for the fes
tival garden. The park board, local
florists and nurserymen have co
operated, as In previous years, and
contributed of their loveliest and
finest plants. These have been
potted in their owu containers in
clever combinations of color and
kind, and earth packed so closely
about them as to give the impres
sion that the garden is an old
established and permanent one.
Canterbury Bella XIaed.
The block directly opposite the
Arlington club was decorated by the
park boar-:. Canterbury bells swing
in a lovt y tall wall about the north
end of t.. block, girdling a glow
ing bed of purple fuschlas flanked
by rows of yellow snapdragons. The
south part of this block is a great
mass of graceful purple agapanthus.
The next block was decorated by the
nurserymen and the florists, and is
walled around by a picturesque lat
tice fence over which roses and
blossom laden vines climb in riotous
confusion. Crescent-shaped beds of
gorgeous big hydrangeas of all
colors stand against a background
of spirea and smaller beds hold
beautiful small flowers, cleverly ar
ranged so as to emphasize their
lovely colorings.
Madison street between the blocks
of blossoms has been turned into a
center of gorgeous coloring, and is
truly a court of color and fragrance.
The block south of the quadrangle
have arches and walls of greenery
and the promenade through the cen
ter is flanked by pillars surmount
ed .with blooming plants.
Throngs See Flowers.
Huge throngs of visitors and
Portlanders followed the trails of
fragrance and color all yesterday
afternoon, and at dusk, when the
myriads of electric lights cast their
radiance over the soene, it was even
more beautiful. .
During the day Queen Harriet and
her court visited festival center,
and a brief musical programme and
a visit about the grounds consti
tuted the official opening of festi
val center. This center of flowers
is open and free to the public at all
times during the rest of the week..
