Veterans Day The feature of the en-
tcrtanmcnt was i'll the living Battle Flag
of the Confcderacy. TO execute this
feature required more than three nun

and white. The girls i'll white were seat
ed so as 10 represent the thirteen white
stars and the white border. The girls
in blue were grouped with the white
stars and formed the cross. and the girls
in red flied the space which completed
the flag. The girls were selected from
the public schools and were under the
direction of Miss Amanda Howell, who
scored a great success. When it IS con
sidered that all these girls had only
few DAYS training their achievement
could not have been surpassed.

tor, No. l." All the other guides are
green with envy, while Mr. Williams
is having his hands full of business.

whether delineator is a good word as

lineator Williams, and l have an.
swered that 1t is better than any other
word that can be used. The diction.
airy gives the word delineator as mean
ing to describe so as to present pic
ture to the mind; to set forth in lively
manner That is what We try to do.
Besides, there are so many men who
wear badges bearing the word guide
that II has gotten to be common, and

White House and other guides OF
Washington are not required to wear
Official badges, and are really under nc
restrictions as to their manner of do
