tinue to be the center of attraction for
G. A r. visitors and thousands call
at the building each day, go through
the rooms admire the decorations and
go away, only to come back later and
to return again in the evening. The
idea for the headquarters will not be
repeated in every city in which the en-
campment may be held for no other
city has so elegant building available
for such purpose.
The usual crowd was on hand yester
day morning though the evening saw
q smaller number of people assembled.
The various headquarters were open all
day and many visiting members of
the societies registered. The Columbia
Post of Chicago, called on the women
during the afternoons and the band
gave a delightful serenade. Members
of the post were made welcome by Gen.
and Mrs. Newport. Their commander
made neat address which was re
spOnded to by Mrs. Newport and the
commander complimented Gen. Newport
on the fact of his having SO charming
a wife. Gen. Newport in response, said
that this was the first time he had
ever been known as Mrs. Newport's
husband"

cularly high order and was listened to
by an attentive gathering. These pro-
grammeS have won popular favor and
will be continued throughout the week.
The music is enjoyed to a high degree
by some of the out of town guests, and
what does the dear old lady in the funny
black bonnet care if the veteran with
her has succumbed to the fatigues of
the day and is in a peaceful slumber.
She is hearing music enough and good
enough to last her for months on her
return to the cares of busy house
hold, and one look at her face tells
how much the music means to her.
