sewing an American flag; in an
other a Fourth-of-July girl had
two small American flags in her

flag with patriotic quotations

There being no business to trans
act, she turned the meeting over
to Mrs. B. A. Rogers, who acted
as chairman.
This program consisted entirely
of original work, and as it had
been pleasantly anticipated was

At first he peered from out the taxi;
