cording to size. Some of the huge flags
stretched across the streets in political cam
paigns cost from $50 to SIS These are made
on frames. six or eight women working on
single flag at one. time. 1t takes six wo-
men about three weeks to finish a large
flag. The construction of "Old Glory" re-
QufreS more care than one would suppose.
If the bars are not sewn even the flag will
look like bunch of BARRIERS poles when 1t
is hung, and the manufacturer has 1t
thrown back on his hands.
Silk flags, such as are made for National
Guardsmen and for presentation purposes,
are quite another proposition. The cheap
est sort of silk flag costs $500. and 1t may
run to $500 without producing anything very
elaborate. The red and white bars for the
best silk flags are made abroad. The differ
ence In cost depends mainly on whether the
decorations are in gold or silver. The stars
must be white, of course but it makes all
the difference whether they are of sterling
silver or silver plate.
More flags of foreign nations for local Or
CARNATIONS are made In New York than in
any other city in the United States The
market for these extends from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. The Irish flag is very much
in demand One of ordinary make such

flags are made here. Societies and indi-
viduals who own them prefer to get them
from home.
Germans and Italians buy a great many
flags. The German is usually satisfied with
his plain tricolor. So is the Frenchman.
But Italians are fond of rich ornamental

the officer who was in command of the
northern defenses of Washington in July,
