. The San Diego garden fair; personal impressions of the architecture, sculpture, horticulture, color scheme & other aesthetic aspects of the Panama California International Exposition . ion, the Carmelite and historian whoaccompanied Vizcaino, and Padre Luis Jayme, the Franciscan and follower of Serra, the martyrof the mission, who suffered death at the handsof the Indians at the destruction of the SanDiego Mission. All of these figures are mod-elled with fine regard for their relation to thesurrounding ornament, and their flowing capesand draperies echo the animated character ofthe ornament.

The gracefullantern is worthy to be the work of ManuelTolsa, who designed and executed many a beau-tiful piece of art work in Mexico. The glazedcolored tiles of the dome sparkle in the sunlightand give a note of the joyousness of southernclimes to the otherwise austere building. Theycover the outer surface of the dome solidly, forming the simple geometric patterns one findsin many similar domes throughout Mexico.Speaki
