Washington will put on her beautiful

residences VIII don their best attire in

In order that the city may look her

do the de ,orating should help each
other. There Is no need to turn the
affair into a sort of municipal barn
raising. There is need only TO do our
OWL part so as TO contribute to the
effect Of the whole. That is a prac-
teal means of helping, and the best.
The committee on street decorations
has pointed the way. The remarkably

Plicity, the same rich color scheme of
white and green, the same emphasis of
the national flag. But wherever mer-
chants arc disposed to hang red-white-

fans out of the American banner in
stead Of flying it to the breeze, or to
run tho risk of having the color of
fussy decorations run at the first sign

beauty and appropriateness.
