with a 100-foot span, which will be COW
cred with a heavy quality Of felt, similar
to that which is placed on the roofs OF
the Binghamton car works plant here,
and which has lasted for nearly ten
years. The dancing floor, which will
also be used as the convention hall, is
100 feet by 165 feet. This can be cleared
of chairs in short space of time, aud
will make one of the largest dancing
floors in the South.
When you reach Memphis you will
find the center of the city transformed
into veritable fairy land. The main
street will be lined with lofty white
columns, festooned with evergreens,
flowers and hundreds of sparkling cleo
trio lights. AS you pass to your hotel
from the railroad depot you will walk
beneath beautiful arch, tapering into
a slender peak, surmountcd by fam.
ing eagle. At each side of this will
stand n pylon with an urn at its sum
init. In the urns will be placed fire,
so that all night long they will send
leaping flames in solemn tribute to the
memory of the fallen heroes. These
columns will be further ornamented
with bas reliefs of appropriate war
groups and life-size statues of the most
prominent leaders of the war. This
will constitute what will be known as
the Court of Honor"
The Sons of Confederate Veterans
will play an important part in the Re-
union, for upon them will devolve the
work of entertaining the sponsors and
maids of honor. Also they will ar
range the social functions of the Re-
union, and will in addition to that take
active part in the exercises. A propo-
sition from the Chattanooga Chapter
of the United Confederate Veterans, to
change the charter and bylaws so as to
admit the Sons of Veterans into the
parent order, will be placed before the
convention next May, and it is thought
that this proposed change will be rati-
fed and that the Sons will be admitted
into the organization.
The Reunion Button.
What has proven to be the most pop
ular and widespread feature of the Re-
union is the Reunion button. Simple,
yet attractive in design, and sold at a
nominal price, this pretty little souvenir
has already been sold far into the
thousands, although it has only been on
sale for few days. The button is now
being worn, it is safe to say, by every
second person one meets in the city,
and in hotels and cafes men are circu-
lating the joke Of refusing to talk or
take drink with anyone not wearing
the little metal disk with the U. c. V.
monogramed in its center. In addition
to the button there are hatpins and
lacepins for the ladies. At several cigar
stands travelling men have paid for
cigars with one of the souvenirs. For
q small article the button scheme has
met with phenomenal success from the
start, and its popularity is reflection
of the deep-seated and intense enthu-
siasm so apparent all over the city.

a time for extending congratulations OF
the season and Of wishing prosperity Tor
the year to come.
The central feature of the daY. aside
from the exchange of well wishes, IS the
blowing OF the shofar, or rams horn, IN
the synagogues. which IS, indeed, the
most ancient of the various customs char
acteriZing the occasion. The association
OF New Years with the "day Of blowing
the shoiar. as the least IS called N the
Mosaic law. IS based on usage that rec
commended itself on account OF the close
association of ideas between the religious
significance OF the blosing ct the ram ;
horn and the religious significance OF
spiritual renewal with the opening OF a
new year. The day was generally OBJ
served by the Jews OF this city.
