The men with the black-velvet covered shields, all stuck full of "souvenirs," are here, and the men with the little canes. I guess we'll have a big crowd if it doesn't rain. What does the paper say about the weather? The boys have been playing a new game for some time past, but it is only this evening that you notice it.
The people of this country need to have their patriotism tickled." "All my life, Harry, I've wanted a gold-mesh bag with a row of sapphires and diamonds across the top " "I'm going to make it the kind of show that 'Dixie' was a song " "And a gold-colored bird-of-paradise for a black-velvet hat, all my life, Harry " "With Alma Zitelle in the part "
