Parades Off Promptly
Tonight's parade is scheduled to
move off. over the same route as
was followed by yesterdays pro-
cession, at 8 p. m. If it follows
the same sort of schedule as yes
terdays parade it will move off
promptly, for, under direction of
Parade Chairman L. Whiting
Estes the first procession started
exactly at 10 a. m, as per sched-
ule.
Late tonight, after the parade.
a reception and grand ball will be
held at the Mayflower Hotel in

est dancing area" according to
Shrine resS agents.
Fireworks also are scheduled for
tonight, when special pyrotech-
mic display will be sent up from
the carnival lot, on Pennsylvania
Avenue, between Third and Fourth
Streets Northwest.
Thus endeth the formal pro-
gram for the day. but to attempt
to list the unscheduled events
which will take place all through
the day, as the red fezZed mobiles
continue to carry the city in their
"hip pocket" would be next to i'm
possible.
Glow did that pretty young
girl in the green dress manage to
keep her balance on her preca-
rious perch on the side of the
Riggs National Bank?" seemed to
be the principal problem of nearly
everyone in the vast throng which
watched yesterdays parade from
Fifteenth and New York Avenue.
Equally commendable was the
persistence of the little colored
fellow who couldn't have been
more than 3 years old, who kept
running out into the middle of
the parade route only to be sent
back to the curb by policeman.
He would no sooner return to the
curb, however, than he'd be right
back out in the middle of the
Avenue again.
First prize for ingenious meth
DDS of seeing the parade certainly
went to the three charming young
ladies, Mrs. P. A. Haywood, Mrs.
K. L. Prince and Mrs. L. L. Hol-
brook, who appropriated motor
cycle sidecar belonging to a police
man and sat in it during the en-
tire march
