To make a pretty picture a young
woman should perch lightly on the

Is to cross the feet gracefully and al

the swing. This is always an embar.

Washington, Oct. 8.-The veterans
OF the &. A. r. and heir friends were
entertained Tuesday by parade in
honor of the naval veterans and bys q
number of reunions held in the big
assembly tents at Camp Roosevelt.
The attendance steadily increased dur
ing the day and the city is crowded.
The parade of the naval veterans of
the forenoon was not as large as many
that have been seen in Washington,
but 1t was i'll every way interesting.
The veterans of the navy each appeared
to be an embodiement of much of the
nations recent history, and every squad
of them was an object of interested OBJ
servation. They were generally old
men, and many of them bore evidences
of wounds received in battle.
In striking contrast to them were the
young men OF all the branches of the
present service which marched with
them AS an escort of honor as it were.
This escort included representatives of
both land and naval forces and they
elected much favorable comment for
their fine appearance as men as they
did for the excellent discipline dis
played by them.
During the day the Sons of Veterans
began their encampment
