nothing to worry about that is within our
control. The weather concerns US; the
predictions disturb Us. We hope, at least,
that there will be no rain. Nothing but
a deluge can alter our plans or prevent
their contamination. A day which Is
merely cold and cloudy or even slightly
drizzling will not affect US in the Lee St -

I am ready for wet weather. Every
inch of the committees street decora ions
was arranged with that possibility in
view. A hard rainstorm will not appre-
Gladly affect our work. We have no
colors TO run and nothing to be dis
solved by the rain. I don't know about
some Of the private decorations, though
I rather think some of them will be
ruined by continued rain
