these pageants can fully realize the
immense amount of labor and money
which are expended in their porfec-
ton. The members OF these societies
are citizens Of the highest social
standing and they not only give their
time to the management OF tho affair
but bear the expense OF the displays
out OF their own private means. II Is
not uncommon for single parade to
cost from 100000 to $50, ooo. 90.
Each association has about two hun.
dred and nifty members. and about one
hundred OF these are selected to man
the floats, tho others serving ON va
rious committees. Each society has

prone command.
Everything Is done In secret and tho
associations have no permanent meet

over to preparation. for the day after

gin their plans for the coming year.
Subjects are discussed and artists are
called In to assist and after soma
