stantial thar pair OF bloomers ana
pair of shoes; dancing his way for
the Arabic courts Of old.
And he has no sooner disappeared
than the patrol of Ainad Temple OF
East st. Louis demonstrates some Of
the finest marching of the day.
Water Boy Helps.
Whenever a temple such as Sudan
Of Newbern, n. C.. passes the grand
stand. well supplied with a dolled-up
waterboy, the sweltering spectators
begin to feel that it's bit harder to

the line Of march where it is possible
at least to get drink of water.
But it is all over now. Here comes
Ben Ali, last but not least, given the
final position because it was the last
temple to be granted a charter.
Dressed In crimson, green and gold,
the faithful from the Sacramento
Temple have now swung past the
reviewing stand. and the premier pa
rade of Washington-declar by
many in the grandstands to have
been one of the greatest spectacles OF
it's kind ever witnessed in America
faded down the road to Mecca.

the thousands to find their way home.
Judging from the stands, however, 1t
is likely to be dinner time before
home.
