The best place to see the forming Of the
parade is along that alley in the Champs
Elysees between the river Seine and the
summer restaurants. The general direc-
ton is behind the Palais de rIndustrie.
Here. under trees that give shade in sum-
mer. but are now leafess, an immense
crowd has gathered and being constantly
added to by spectators and paraders, in
wagons and on foot, all dressed in fancy
costumes. Here and there mounted police
men are stationed and an old time Partisan
fiSure-the Hcorice-water seller, with his
can strapped upon his back-circulates
among the crowd.
The waSherwomen come In cars and omni-
buses, each laundry with its banner and
with the proprietor and his immediate
family in carriages behind. The queen of
queens-it is a Mademoisele Marie Bon
homme, the daughter of a proprietor (Which
has created some dissatisfaction among
the actual washerwomen)-is taken around
TO her place in the procession behind
mounted squad of the municipal guard
Still further behind are many gay and
loud laundry cars, packed full of bare
armed beauties. in pink and blue and white.
The police push the spectators back to give
these cars room. Each wagon has it's own
musicians. and each its loud young man,
already throwing out cut paper and witt
cisins to the crowd, and each it's clown,
who descends and capers on the roadway.
All the laundry girls coming. great

those who will dance at the masked balls
and those who so home to decent family

General Orders No. 19:
First-On account OF radlcai uisasree, e,
ments in the brotherhood as to the real
action or true intent OF the convention
at Birmingham, In its nasty acuoh h
voting upon a new constitution, ana
which are so grave as to threaten Its
perpetuity, the General Commanding
availing himself of article OF the con-
stftutIon under which the order was or
ganized, successfully conducted, and mas
grown TO go camps. has decided 20 WITH
hold the official PRONUNCIATION OF that con-
stitution.
Second-Its official promulgation has
been delayed to give the General Com
manding time and opportunity TO fairly
consider all these conflicting statements,
and TO save, II possible, the brotherhood
from disintegraion, on account OF these
disagreements and Observation-Disclosures.
Many claim that the convention. in It's
haste and the excitement and confusion
of the adjournment did not at all under
stand the extent and purport of its ac-
tion, which also vitally affects the life
and welfare or the order, and as another
constitution had been distributed 70 the
camps and TO the delegates there, many
believing that they were voting for an
other and different constitution, and that
the action OF the convention was not bind
ing upon the camps.
Third-The General Comman -ng, in
view of doubts in the minds of many as
to the validity OF the action of the con-
vention under these misapprehensions,
and on account OF numerous protests pre-
sented to him, deems it TO be his duty
and of far greater Importance to save the
organization than TO officially promuigate
a new constitution.
Fourth-As no possible harm can pos
sibly result from a continuance OF the
present constitution, and under which IL
has achieved success, the General Com
manding directs that II will remain IN
force, and will be obeyed, as heretofore,
until the reunion at Houston, Tex, when
three days will be given to prepare dis-
cuss and adopt constitution which Will
be acceptable TO The entire BROTHERHOOD.

Commanding. -
