As Soon as the Wires Brought
the Message of the Signing
they also rang the bells of joy in every human
heart in America without a thought or
consideration of creed, country or color because
the signatures of appointed representatives of
the nations of the world had been set to the
Proclamation of Peace
born in honor, and sealed by the blood of the
heroes who died to secure it.
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.

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. It
is evidently the way styles are
turning for the Fall.
Imagine an exquisite lavender
grosgrain silk coat, loosely .fit
ting and belted in. Quite natural
ly the pockets are large and, like
the cuffs, they are stitched, and
the collar is finished with two long
fringed ends. This coat is $75.
(First Floor,
There is, too, a lovely Italian
blue satin wrap, for afternoons.
It has a deep marabou collar and
deep cuffs. Also in navy blue or
black at $87.60.
Then picture a rich wine shade
satin cape with an accordion
pleated border and the long scarf
collar edged with the pleating.
There is a smart little vest of the
satin and a belt $97.50 is the
price.

Men You Have Only Three Days to
Get Ready for the Greatest Fourth of
July in History Since the First One
It is a very natural thing for men to want to feel at their best and to look their best on
this coming Fourth of July, 1919. There is no need to go into the reasons for this. The thing
is for all of us to get as much safe and sane joy out of the day as we can. To do this, we
must put as much safe and sane joy as we can into it.
You must know as well as we do the part that proper clothes play in any celebration.
Ninety-nine per cent of you will wear suits that fall into three categories tropical suits
of light, thin woolens, or tropical suits of Palm Beach, mohair or breezeweave materials, or
flannel trousers with a coat of whatever appropriate color appeals to the individual. No
matter how many other stores may have good clothing of this kind, there is one Store in
which you are sure of finding it at its best.
Palm Beach, mohair and breezeweave suits are $18 to $35.
Tropical worsted and cheviot suits, light weight and open in weave, $32 to $65.
Good tailoring is the mark of every suit in both groups.

cooler than "loaded" silk.
