Woman is naturally emotional. And
she usually shows it. She usually re-
ceives joy and sorrow with the same
expression of feeling-she presses her
right hand over her heart and
breathes hard. She does not do this
consciously. She places her hand
over her heart IN the same involun-
tary way that man takes off his
hat when he bows to a woman. It's
gesture of habit.
Every big" moment for a woman
from the day her first born first
walked to the departure of that sa me
first born for war, is marked by this
one gesture of mingled fear, pride,
joy and despair, says the New York
Sun! There is only one time when
her emotion is OF a different sort, and
that is when the flag is passing by.
Now when she is watching a parade
and the flag passes by she wonders
a n n
then she looks to see what the man
next to her is doing-and he, in nine
cases out of ter, is ondering the
same thing.
For the man there is only one rule.
He should salute in the same manner
provided for officers and all army men
in civilian dress. Men should uncover
if they are wearing hats or caps and
hold the headdress opposite the left
shoulder with the right hand. Iif bare
headed they should salute with the
right hand.
That settles the mans problem. Now
for the women. Mrs. Katherine Har-
vey, wife of Brig. Gen. w. E. Harvey,
believes that women should place the
right hand over the heart when 1.-The
Star Spangled Banner is being played
or sung and when the colors pass in
review.
And that is exactly what Philip
Robert Dillon, who recently wrote a
little DOCK on the United states flag,
complains of. He says:
LAS far as 1 can see, there is no
reason why woman should not salute
in the manner prescribed by army
regulations for soldiers in uniform or
in civilian dress and uncovered. Ger
tainly, to my mind, no more graceful
nor distinctive gesture ever has been
evolved than this:
Raise the right hand smartly till the
tip of the forefingers touches the lower
the right eye, thumb and fingers ex-
tended and Joined, palm to the left.
forearm inclined at about 10 degrees,
hand and wrist straight; at the same
time look toward the person Tor flag
saluted.
Then drop the arm smartly to the
side.
Some persons salute the flag at
the wrong time When the flag is
waving from a stationary flagstaff or
other pole, as at the top of build +
is not saluted with the hand. More
over coIors are not luted when they
are being carried incased.'
Mr.. Dillon. who for many years was
in the navy, has some strong ideas
about the proper use of the flag. Using
the flag for advertising purposes, says
Mr.. Dillon, is a dissertation. Public
taste allows the flag to be used as a
decoration, but some limitations GER
tainly should be recognized 1t should
not be used to cover the top of
table.
No object schould rest upon it, aItho
the Bible has long. been excepted
from this rule.
1t may be used to cover casket of
the dead. In this use the union should
be at the head.
In general, it must be kept free
from association with mental thought
and practice.
Never should the flag be left out
over night
