GOLD GLORY STILL ABOVE.
Lillian Bell Goes Down Into Egypt to
Win Another Victory for the Flag.

This Anglo-American line of boats
is the only line in Egypt which flies
the American flag. That was the final
inducement they offered which de-
cided my choice Of the "Mayflower. +"
But while we knew that she was oblfg-
ed to fly the British flag also, we were
indignant beyond words to see a huge
Union Jack floating at the top of the
forward flagstaff and beneath it toy
American flag about the size Of a CT
gar-boX. Beneath the English fagt l
nearly wept with rage. The owner Of
the line was at hand and I did not
wait to draw up petition or to con-
suit my fellow-Americans. I just
said: Have the goodness to haul
down that infant American flag, will
you? I have no objection to sailing
under both, but do object to such an
insulting disparity in size. Besides
that, you seem to have forgotten that
the American flag never flies below
any other flag on Gods green earth,"
He made some apologies and gave
the order at once. The baby was
hauled down amid the smiles of the
English passengers But at Assiout
we were avenged when an enormous
American flag arrived by rail and was
hoisted to the main flagstaff, twenty
feet higher than the British. When
[ came out on deck that Sunday morn
ing, and saw that blessed flag waving
above me, everything blurred before
my eyes, and I do assure you that it
was the most beautiful sight I saw in
all that European continent. You may
talk about your temples and your ruins
and your old masters, Have you ever
seen "Old Glory" flying straight out
from flagstaff in a foreign country
seven thousand miles away from
home LILLIAN Bell in Woman's Home
