the sable goddess wished to initiate the
pretty things she saw on every side.
The manor woman, either, for that
matter-who does not believe in ''reci-
procity" in st. Paul today must be the
fellow who does not own a bit Of bunt-
ing or Is not able to borrow one, for it
looks to a casual observer as II the
streets, up one side and down the other,
were fairly abloom with the colors we
love, interspersed in friendly way with
the flags of every other nation under
the "shlning canopy" Ii you look
down Third street you think that you
have struck the center or the sea or
fluttering flags that swing and fly on the
wings of the wind like billows Of bios
SONS; the very air seems brighter for
the coors of purity, hope and fraternity
that surge up OH every hand. One can
think of nothing but big clover field In
bloom that is
swept by the Wind
revealing buttercups, stray wheat-ears,
or ridges of virgin soil or the shading
of its own leaves or those of the inter-
loping brother, the white clover. AS
YOU walked along the streets where the
flags are not so thick you caught
glimpses of men at work, or piles of
paper and flags, or other bright colored
bits on every hand. The sound OF the
hammer is heard, and, If you look back,
10! that street, too, has blossomed out.
Where, In this bewildering array,
shall one begin? There are so many to
be told, but these are some of the best
so far, but others will be as pretty by
the time you read these words.
At the corner of Third and Robert

street and on ropes stretched across both

Hill, "the man whom the king deilghteth
to honor" il one must have bit of
Scripture, like our brother SCOTS, to tip
the end of sentence with. On the
corner of the big store is another
smaller picture of the same man. Sur
rounded by flags of every kind. from the
windows the little star spangled flags
hob mob with the Union Jack or the
orange amber black Of the Russian Bear
or the red and black OF Italy or the
green harp of old Ireland In the friend
liest fashion. They are all there as
we'll as a long stream of the red white
and blue that spreads like the spokes OF
a big wheel from the picture at the cor
ner to the windows of the third story on
either street. The Milwaukee, and
st. Paul ticket office not only had
Flags and Festoons
at every window on Robert. but on the
big telegraph or telephone pole at the
corner.
Manufacturers new block is gorgeous
in one of the best displays. Over the
entrance on Sixth street two big flags
are draped, separated by a shield, on
whose pale-blue field the letters G.
r. in gold can be read, with small
flags on either side. Seven long
streamers of the national colors
stretch from the shield to the
windows of the second and
third stories, that end in graceful
rueses. On the left and right of the
center shield are others, with yellow
fields. bearing the words Progress"
and Triumph" In gold letters. Many
little flags are so arranged as to add
brightness TO the display.
The Ryan is not TO be outdone by any
body, and surely not in this display.
Long clusters of streamers in red,
white and blue were stretched in crosses
alongthe front, and spanned at each
