LOOKING ACROSS T H E PLAZA DE PAN AM A TO T H E SCIENCE AND EDUCATION<br />

B U ILDING —CALIFO R N IA BUILDING TO W ER IN<br />

BACKGROUND.<br />

A portal invites one past the cloister, <strong>and</strong> beyond there lies a quiet<br />

patio, green with foliage illuminated by the color of an occasional flowering<br />

shrub, m urmuring with the soft play of a fountain. A rug-draped<br />

balcony on the wall of an adjoining palace stirs a lazy spirit of romance,<br />

<strong>and</strong> a recollection of Spanish tradition, <strong>and</strong> a complete underst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />

when the shrubbery stirs slightly <strong>and</strong> there appears a slim caballero<br />

singing his serenade to the girl behind the railing. The guards <strong>and</strong> attendants<br />

in this dream city are conquistadores <strong>and</strong> caballeros. The dancing<br />

girls who hold carnival in the plazas <strong>and</strong> along the Prado are Spanish<br />

dancing girls.
