easemblage flve miles in length, which
packed Broad street sidewalks from Por-
ter street 10 Girard avenue, gave en-
phatic approval of the big annual frohc
which has made Philadelphia famous.
The window OF every home en- route was
also filed to its capacity.
II anything can adequately describe
the gltterlng procession, one might say
It was like an ever-changing rainbow
dancing to the rhythm of martial music
Tho pageant told a story not only of
this city, but OF the worlds achievements
nnd disappointments of 1914 True there
were the usual dancing clowns, the rather
estravaganr Indians, gorgeously robed
kings and princes, and no end of really
dainty bellies and beaux, who intermin-
gIed fesrlessly with bespargled warriors
from all corners of the earth, but these
were merely the garnishings of the big
feast of fun.
There was enough spirit and dash In
the big turnout to awaken enthusiasm
even among the pessimists left over
from last year.
All the big questions which cause aus
tere conservatives who are Obliged to
struggle along on few millions to worry
were laughed at by the marching "shoot-
ars." Many, to show their disregard of
money, were clad in costumes worth $1,000
or g3O00 which cost several hundred dol
lars TO hire for few hours. Their mag
nifcent trains were carried in many in
stances by more than 100 handsomely clad
pages.
The militant spirit of the day was de-
picted by numerous brigades, whose cos
tunes and weapons differed from those
OF any other country Many were soldiers
OF fortune without country and pre-
pared to go to war to settle ordinary
questions Of the day. These mysterious
soldiers were not OF the "watchful wait
ing" calibre. and seemed ready to go to
war at the drop OF the hat. No military
organization would dare attempt their
peculiar maneuvers, which met warm ap-
proval all along the route.
Many of the warriors were accom-
panied by portable forts, armoted auto
mobiles and private battleships. which
enabled them to carry the war wherever
they pleased. Some were followed by Sec
lions OF their own countries in which
revolutions burst forth every few minutes
The worlds newest inventions, social
activities and sporting events had large
share IN the proceedings In the inventive
