ctivewindow display which was the talk of thetown. Its main feature was a mammoth rosecake four feet in diameter and eighteen inchesin height. It was entirely covered with nat- ural white climbing roses, and en the topthe legend I 893— 19 I 2, marking thedates of the first and last carnivals held inthe City of Roses, was set out in red rose-buds. Around the margin of the cake weretwenty candles in the carnival colors, red,green and yellow. The whole was madeto represent a birthday cake, and was particu-larly attractive at night when the twentycandles were lit and the soft light covered upany defects in the make-up caused by thewithering of the fragile petals. The window was draped with numeroussprays of China roses, and the floor wasstrewn with roses and rose branches. Mana-ger Hall was fairly overwhelmed with com-pliments and congratulations for his enter-prising ingenuity. The accompanying illustration is from aphotograph of the rose cake taken while thecarnival was at its height.
