bunting, hanging in great loops and ar
ranged around device in the center that
is covered with little American flags. The
balconies and footing of the stage are
draped in pure white, forming a contfnu-
Gus line around the room.
Above the balconies are flags and bunt-
ing artistically arranged in various-sized
festoons, separated by columns draped in
the national colors. Over the stage are
hung numerous flags of all sizes, appearing
from behind festoons and decorations. The

dered with white. The seats are arranged
in the usual order and ample provision is
made on the stage for honorary guests.
