in the bow was not make believe, for
he was Mr.. St. Germaine, full-hlood-

float received much applause as 1t
rightfully deserved. for it showed much

The Kalpatica was prettily decorated
with flags of all nations and with
bright bunting draped along the side.
The Keewaydin WAS decorated with a
long line of gay banners. The Ibis was
gracefully hung with evergreen. The
