Flags out tomorrow. The stars and
stripes. Why? because tomorrow,
nearly two hundred years ago, the
Father OF His Country. George Wash
ington, was born. We cannot cele
brate the day this year in Colonial
style by wearing powdered wigs, tight
Ions wasted dresses whose skirts are
wide enough for the wearer to step
down any curb in the city. No; much
as We would like to, we carnot do
this. However, the least that any
Daughter OF the American Revolution
or any loyal citizen OF the U. 6.
Ican do is to hoist a flag IN honor
of the man who did so much to bring
about this country's freedom. Again.
I say. flags out tomorrow for Wash
ington.
