glance at the decorations on Main
street reveals not only richness and
protusion but an exceedingly good Sc
lection in the material and design Of
the variety OF ornamentatlon which
prevails there. Everything seems to be
appropriate, attractive and in keeplnp
with the occasion. Looking up Main
street from the south the most cDn-
spicuous objects are two large hangers
stretched across the street in front of
the two principal hotels, the Worth and
the Delaware. The national flag is
| everywhere on every side as It always
Is In Fort Worth on festive occasions
for Fort Worth Is nothing If NOT
patriotic. Red, white and blue are en-
wrapped In thick folds about the store
fronts and around the awning posts
But all this is interspersed with other
bright colOfs so that there Is nothing
ike monotony. There is a combination
of brightness, freshness and origl-
nality about the decorations which
make altogether very pleasing effect
Houston street is also beautifully deco
rated so that the drummers will be
cheercd Mt every step while marching
in procession TO the city hall to the
opening Of the convention with re-
freshing evidences that their presence
is known In Fort Worth and throughly
appreciated.
