Must Be Made.

to Members Of Advisory
Committee List.

On account of the unexpected numbers
who are rallying around the green,
white, and purple of the suffrage BAN
ner, officers in charge Of the pageant
feel that some modification of their
plans will have to be made in order to
provide places in their line of march
for all who have signified their inten-
ton to take part. 1t was planned In the
beginning that the event should be I'M
usual in display and magnitude, but the
dcluge of offers OF assistance which have
come in since receipt of permission to
use Pennsylvania Avenue Is out Of all
proportion to the committees expecta-
ton.
Led by Trumpeteers.
To the music of thirty bands, at their
head troop OF young and tempting suf-
fragists acting as trumpeteers. followed
by a brilliant squadron Of ''cavalrywom-
cn." whose members are to be chosen
from the ranks of Washington society
women. and who are to be led by Grand
Marshal Mrs. r. c. Burleson, wife Of
Lieut. Burleson, L. s. a, and assistant
to the grand marshal. Mrs. Charlotte
WeIkert, the pageant of dazzling color
and quaint costumes will get under way.
As the pageant approaches the south
ern front of the Treasury Building,
probably shortly after Seventh Street is
passed. long blast by the leading
trumpeteers will announce the advance to
the group upon the Treasury steps, and
at this signal the tableau upon the
Treasury steps will begin building.
The trumpet fanfare will be re-echoed
among the buildings on the Avenue at
intervals until the troops of cavalry
women are abreast OF the tableau upon
the steps. Until the whole line of march
is passed new figures and groups VIII
steadily join the central tableau, which
by the time the last contingent of march
ers have swept by into East Executive
Avenue will completely have filled and
obscured the southern portico OF the
Treasury with a rich imagery from me
dieval times and an exquisite blending
OF brilliant color.
