In addition to these specific allotments,
there are numerous applications on file
with the Committee on Ceremonies for
dates for other noted families. Then
there viii. be many gatherings which will

Hall Of Congresses will be furnished by
the Exposition for the principal f~eatures

Nearly all the families will include in
their programmes speeches by members
who have attained prominence as orators,

devoted time and study to preparing
them.
