"When he received his check, he
wrote to Mr.. Storey saying that under

spectators, clad i'm more sombre GARD,
gazed at the jewellers and tried To GUESS
their identity until unmasking time.
The old drill shed was effectively de-
COrated with flowers, greenery and
bunting, and with the whirl of the gaily
COstumed dancers, presented kaleides-
copic effects of light and color that
made a constantly changing series of
pretty pictures.

themselves and cast dignity temporarily

threw aside their deCOrOus habits ana
