turned.
American flags served as beautiful drap-
cries for doorways and windows. while
streamers of the Spanish red and yellow
decorated balustrade, chandeliers and
pictures.
Deep red pinks and yellow tulips did
their prettiest to carry out the decora-

a pretty substitute for the anticipated

Rain fell through part of the night,
Saturday. and until 3 O'Clock Sunday
morning. the sky was cloudy. After
this, however the weather cleared.
The little rain only tended to make the
sidewalks and streets sloppier than
ever. The sloppiness was not in the
least corrected by the warm Sunday
sun.
