The Flag in necoration.

Writing of "Civic Festivals and Pro
cessions," in the Century, Charles r,
Lamb says on the subject Of the flag in
decoration:
"The Stars and Stripes, though not the
most successful piece of decoration, can
still be so treated as successfully to com.
bine with any scheme; but to do this il
should be massed over doorways OF
stands, or, If used separately, should be
hung repetitively from the windows along
the entire line of parade, preferably on
one of the upper stories, so as to give a
continuous line of red, white and blue
from house to house.
"The American flag is not impossible
Of successful treatment we have already
begun to initiate the French manner of
raging small flags in an upright position
from common base, and repeating these
groups at intervals; but the tricolor bunt-
ing is one Of the most difficult to use sat
isfactorily, because the equal proportion
of red to blue is not fortunate color
combination. 1t would therefore be ad.
visable that the committee in charge
should select those symbolic colors which
would be appropriate, and use them in
such quantity as would give a definite
color-scheme to the entire line. The sug.
gestion made by the National Society Of
Mural Painters that the naval colors.
blue and white, REINFORCED with gold and
natural green foliage, should be used in

bly, the first recognition given of the ne
cessity of other colors than the patriotic
