THE rose fiesta is aliViost upon us.
W'e have the roses, thanks to the
recent nipping temperature, -which
held back the budding, and. we have the
proper fiesta spirit, thanks to the carni
val enthusiasts among us. It only re
mains for us to have the weather.
The uncertainties of mood manifested
by the elements during the past week
have occasioned fears for the fate of the
fiesta management's well-laid plans,
which a shower or two, such as came
out . of clear skies without warning the
past week, would do much to mar, or
evtn ruin. It Is to be hoped that the de
vout prayers of E. V". Rowe and his
corps of assistants will bring sunshine.
One of the most-discussed features of
the four-day fiesta period is the baseball
game which will be played June 22.
This game will be not all burlesque, as
It is rumored that the physicians, lawyers
and bankers who comprise the two teams
have gone Into rigorous practice, with
the intention of putting up a hard battle
on the diamond, and a number of those
who will play are college men and were
knights of the bat and ball on the fields
of their alma maters. As the proceeds
of the game will go to the Fruit and
Flower Mission, the worthiness of which
Institution Is .well-known, the game
should be well patronized. It will as
suredly be a society event, as the patron
esses are all enthusiasts for the game
and their influence alone should fill the
grand stand and bleachers.
The patronesses include Mrs. Joseph &
Teal, Mrs. Ralph Wilbur, Mrs. C. E. 8.
Wood, Mrs. L H. Tarpley. ' Miss Nellie
Williams. Mrs. Solomon Hirsch, Mrs.
John C. Ainsworth. Mrs. Ralph W. Hoyt,
Mrs. William C. Alvord, Mrs. George F,
Russell, Mrs, A. E. Rockey, Mrs. Holt C.
Wilson. Mrs. K. A. J. Mackenzie, Mrs.
William Wood, Mrs. James Zan and Mrs.
Geo. E. Chamberlain.

of fragrant June roses and tother blos
soms, the blending of delicate colors in
the decorative scheme, the sheen and
film of the lovely gowns worn by the
graceful callers and the happy hum of
social chatter, with the occasional ripple
of laughter, all contributed to a most
brilliant ensemble. .
