There wasn't a mark of originality
or ingenuity in the celebration. It
was that great paradox contented
mob-a mob satisfied with itself and
its GoVernment-a mob that asked
nothing more than to be allowed just
to be glad.
And strangest OF all there was
scarcely q note OF venom or hate for
the conquered enemy in all the gay,
hilarious exhibition. Once, to be sure,
some one strung up an effigy of the
Kaiser at Fourteenth and Pennsyl-
vania avenue. And there was that
tireless funeral procession that car
ried the Raiser's corpse up and down
Pennsylvania avenue hour after hour.
But the pAllbeArers were laughing
and shouting and the crowd laughed
and shouted back. There wasn't a
hiss, there wasn't a sneer.

And just at the moment when 1t
seemed as though there wasn't a
detail lacking for perfect happiness
and sheer beauty, the crowd realized
that President Wilson had suddenly
dropped from nowhere in particular
right into the middle Of the cele-
bration.
There he sat in a great open tour

cars, right down in the crowd, just
where he wanted to be and from
which nothing could probably have
kept him, q citizen with citizens, an
actual part Of the celebration itself.
He griIned like a boy and the crowd
ran pell NELL after his car like chill

There seemed to be q sudden re-

ple-that no longer was there need for

New York's celebration may have
been distinctly New York, Chica-
