The 4th of July and the 28th of June for all time will be spelled with stars the globe around. This international event goes down in our historical records as having been observed in the Grand Court of the Eagle, by the following program, arranged a week beforehand, led by the Grand Organ and the Military Band of the house. (It may be useful in arranging other celebrations elsewhere.) 1. The J. W. C. L Buglers played "To the Colors" as the great American flag was drawn into position in the Grand Court, and the organ followed with the "Star Spangled Banner." 2. The "Recessional" ("God of Our Fathers Lest We Forget"). 3. Medley of the songs of the Allies. 4. Song of Thanksgiving ("Come Ye Thankful People, Come"). 5. "Messiah of the Nations." 6. Brass quartet playing from the Sixth Floor with aerial organ accompaniment, "The Doxology." 7. "Lead, Kindly Light," with chimes accompanying. 8. "The President's March," by Svendsen, by the J. W. C. I. Military Band and the organ. 9. "A Long, Long Trail." 10. "Stars and Stripes Forever," followed by "America," by the band and oigan. A great patriotic deed, nobly done, must now be woven into the warp and woof of the life of every true American. Signed June SO, 1919. hmK Hints at Late Summer Fashions Are Given by New Silk Wraps As quaint as they are charming and there is just a suggestion of the picturesque sacques and dol mans of some fifty years ago.
