FOURTH OF JULY PARADE AT SHANGHAI RACECOURSE

A large crowd of many nationala turned out to watch the Fourth Marinse parade at the Shanghai Race Course and to see the annual flag-raising ceremony on the historio Fourth of July. The centre photograph above shows the reviewing stand, with Lieutenant-Colonel E. P. Moses, Commander of the Fourth Marines, Mr. Edwin S, Cunningham, U. 5. Consul-General, both in the front, and staff officers of the TO` giment taking the salute. The lawer right picture is a general view of a portion of crowd and of the parading troops. The lower left photo. is of the flag-raising ceremony, while in the upper right corner are shown Miss Arra Jean Kimball (left) and Mrs. Edwin S. Cunningham, wife of the US. Consul-General, who presented members of the audience with small American flags and badges, as is their annual custom.

"He's the sort who gets what he wants, always," thought the girl shrewdly. It must be won- derful to go about' with

like that, to be petted, taken care of as if you were a valuable piece of porcelain. Kay would love New York, love the kind of life Monnie had had a glimpse of to- night. Motor doors opening and ahutting, rich fabrics, the scent of costly, clusive perfumes on the nir.

For the first time since her de- cision to go with Miss Corey had taken form, Monnie was, honestly kind.

“Maybẻ 1 can free myself from this obsession about Dan," she } thought, dropping off, There and theen days when she was certain she had conquered the wild, un- Ruvernable anguish. But then a Jehance look, a word, a quoted line fof verse, would set the old pain to throbbing again. Well, she would put halt a world between them and perhaps that would help.

They had an early breakfast and were ready a full hour before [the time appointed, their bags

strapped and waiting.

The clerk says he's sending jup some mail," Miss Anstico an- nounced, turning away from the telephone. Monnio's heart gave a wild leap. A letter-the long- awaited letter might be among them! But there was only a bon

voyage note from Kay and an-. other from Charles Eustace. She had to throttle her disappoint- ment. She had been hoping against hope that Dan might send her one little line to take with her to all those strange "placca,...

"Any news?" Miss Anatico looked up from her cheque book.

"No news!" Monnie amiled ¡valiantly to hide the hurt.

She stood on the deck a little later, watching late comers bourd the ship. Miss Anstice was in her cabin but she had sent Monica out "to see the excitement," A alim wand of a girl in a cont of hunter's green, her amber cyes starry above the collar of deep brown fur, she drew many eyes, Porters struggled with trunks on the dock, leisurely men with brief cases strolled aboard. There was one bridal party, youthful and distinguished, dressed with care- less elegance, making farewells. (Continued on Page 10.)
