They were got up in their best clothes, and their go-carts or carriages were most elaborately trim med with flags ribbons, buntings, wild flowers and flowers that were not Wlld, so that the procession that started at 3:15 brought favorable comments all along the line of march. Previous to the parade in the ball grounds ana III the grove the youngsters were put on exhibition under a large text ana TOT over an hour they were surrounded py a curious bunch of mothers, each or which thought hers was the finest ever.

Some little tot, a few months old and last asleep, curled all up in an impossible knot would halt the merry throng for few minutes and things like these would be heard: "Ain't it a shame, "Where's its mother?" Why don't some one untangle the little dear?" ana other wise remarks. Then the crowd would push around to place where an especially interesting or attractive looking youngster would be chewing the ivy used for decorating his or her cart. and more nice things would be said Twins colored babies, and all were the object of all eyes, and the show was a good one.
