thing that will shorten the dull sum- 

 mer season, even a cold, rainy May. 



The annual automobile parade oc- 

 curs on June 3rd, and it is announced 

 as a tissue paper carnival, which 

 comes nearer the truth than a floral 

 automobile parade, as heretofore 

 stated. This means of decoration is 

 just as acceptable to the florists, as it 

 has always been to the disadvantage 

 of the natural flowers when both were 

 used.
