Los Flores, a garden in the Crown of the Valley. Goddess Flora and
her pages asleep. Harlequin, the magic spirit, enters, produces by
incantation the rain and summons the maiden Spring, who rouses the
Goddess and her pages. The Goddess commands the Harlequin to usher
in the Pageant of Roses. Enter the Red or Colonial Roses; march and
form for the reception and dance of the Ladies of the Minuet.
Retire. Harlequin, at the request of the Goddess, summons the Gold
of Ophirs, bearing urn as offering to the Goddess, when is
performed the dance of the Orient, including solo. Curtain falls on
tableau.

PART SECOND.

Same garden. Goddess on her throne, surrounded by her pages. She
summons the Harlequin, who in turn brings the Roses of Castile.
They bring offering of flowers to the Goddess, and perform a dance.

Goddess again summons Harlequin, who, by great effort, brings the
Roses of the Snow, or the Little Girls from Boston, led by Frost
Maiden. They perform a dance and retire. Both Harlequins enter,
perform a dance, and command the blooming of the Pink Rose Buds.
Pink Rose Buds enter without offering for the Goddess, and prevail
upon the Harlequins to help them out of their difficulties. The
Harlequins send Poppies for the great La France Rose Buds as an
offering, and perform "The Transformation of the Rose." Rose Buds
dance and are joined by the little Roses in the Snow. All dance and
retire. Enter White Harlequin, who calls for the White Rose dance
by the Greek maidens. They perform ceremonies and deck the altar of
their Goddess, dance and retire. Curtain.

PART THIRD.

Grand march. Tableau, with falling Rose petals, in the magic canon.

And not a word yet of The Raymond, that popular house set upon a hill
that commands a view hard to equal. The house is always filled to
overflowing, and this year General Wentworth tells me the business has
been better than ever. This famous resort is in East Pasadena, and has
its own station. It is always closed in April, just at the time when
there is the most to see and enjoy, and the flowers are left to bloom
unseen.

The other fine hotel here, named for its owner, Colonel Green of
"August Flower" fame, is on ground eight feet higher, although by the
conformation of the land it does not look so.
