The little pageant, “Flashes From
Texas History,” written by Mrs.
Shaver and directed by Miss Hines,
was primarly to entertain the dele-
gates at the district convention, next
to give a demonstration for the His-
tory Department of the Federation,
and then to create interest in Texas
History. The thought running thru
the pageant was an epitome in very
condensed form of the different
epochs in Texas History. An invita-
tion given by the Queen of the West
and emphasized by her native sprites
to all the world to come to this beau-
teous land of the west was most beau-
tifully and artistically presented by
Miss Marguerite McFarland and her
dainty elves, Misses Thalmann, Ka-
tube, Flake and Koeneman.
The Spanish people replied to the
invitation by sending their monks,
Messrs. Walter Coers and Willie
Doyle, to convert the Indians. Their
efforts were crowned with success as
they marched to the mission chanting
their Te Duem with their procession
of Indians, Messrs. Robertson, Woods,
Atkinson, Hopson, and Shaver.v
Spain’s success encouraged other
countries to come and the Conqueror’s
Dance was most exquisitely and skill-
fully given by Miss Elizabeth Flake.
Stephen F. Austin,, the great coloni-
zer, Mr. Archibald Briggs, received
his grant to bring many families to
Texas to settle on the rich lands of
the state from the Chivalrous Spanish
Governor Martinez, Mr. William
A vey.
So many Spaniards had by this time
settled in Texas that a Spanish fiesta
with its colorful and attractive fea-
tures held the spectators in absorb-
ed interest as Mrs. R. C. Harrison
gave in her charming and cultured
voice the Mexican “La Paloma,” and
the same artiste who greeted us at
first reveled in the Spanish ambour-
mf and scarf dances. i
