DEPICTS SCENES OF AMERICAN
LEGION PARADE in new YORK

The following article was sent
to The Citizen from New York by
Myrtle Cosgrove, who writes I'M

wife of Captain Phillip Cosgrove,
both of whom are now vacation
ing in the north and east:
New York, the suave, the blase,
the insolent, has been swept from
her feet. The American Legion
has tweaked the nose of the adig-
nified dowager, ruffled her hem
naed hair, and led her through
the mazes of the Big Apple, Won
derful to tell, she has laughed
and liked it.
To-day, she lines 5th Avenue to
see her big Moment" resplend-
ent in uniform and brass buttons
pass in the parade that lasts from
dawn to dark. Squadrons OF
planes zoom overhead, cannons
roar, banners wave in the chill
morning air, drums roll, bugles
shrill. The street resounds ia
marching feet.
New York adores parades. Her
tickle heart flutters; frantieally
she waves scarf and handkerchief,
she shrieks herself hoarse.
"Bedlam reigns. Her business
is disrupted. her traffic snarled
her nerves wraeked by firecraek-
ers and torpedoes. but New York
only smiles and powders her shiny
nose. She eagerly looks forward
to the two last remaining days of
the convention.

they are having the time Of their
