A bigger success than even its au-
thors had dared to hope for.
A bigger day than anybody had
anticipated and one filled with fun,

work into departments and assign

the privilege of calling on other
League members for assistance There
were six main features for the day
the parade, the eats, vaudeville
show, the ball games, the clothes
booth and the dance in the evening.

lures, all of them interesting and
many of them decidedly novel and

costumes and join in the big show, 7
