"That will give me just about enough time to get ready," said Nancy, "and I really think you must get a new cutaway." Then at last Commencement was over. The electricians bore away for another year the last of the class numeral signs which had hung from their respective Headquarters.

Never before has the attempt been made to light an exposition as this one is lighted. The highest standard before attained was a blaze of electric light secured by outlining the buildings with incandescent bulbs. That was the work of electricians. Here the illuminators are artists who have created a great picture of light and color. There is no blaze or glare.
