morning It was because be or she was
lacking in stature for everybody came
out to give the strangers rouslng
sendoff and indulge in some Incidental
cheering for the boys at home.
1t was a good parade, one worthy of
the Best People on Earth. 1t was a
long one, too, replete with features that
kept the crowd on the yell and made
them forget that 2OO-pound enthusiast
frantically waving his hat was resting
his massive underpinning upon pet
corn. Everybody was in good humor
and the scattering raindrops did not
even have the effect Of making the girl
in the picture hat flee for cover Every
thing was forgotten as the craning
necks down the long line of march re-
solved themselves into thousands Of In
terrogation points with the perpetual
query, whats Coming Next2'

Miss. cotton coons waltzed along IN
opthalmla- generating attire, with mer-
ny Jest and exaggerated pedestrlanism'
But the roar of laughter died on the lips
as the stalwart Detroit No. 81 In all the
pomp and glory Of white sweaters ana
pouIter pigeon breasts, and bearing a
huge American flag after the manner
of life-saving net, proudly marched
past. II do love a stalwart man. de-
