FOURTH OF JULY PARADE AT SHANGHAI RACECOURSE

A large crowd of many nationals turned out to watch the Fouth Marines parade at the Shanghai Race Course and to see the annual flag-raising ceremony on the historic Fourth of July. The centre photograph above shows the reviewing stand, with Lieutenant-Colonel E. P. Moans, Commander of the Fourth Marines, Mr. Edwin §. Cunningham, U, S. Consul-General, both in the front, and staff officers of the re- giment taking the salute. The lower 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 Joan Kimball (left) and Mrs. Edwin S. Cunningham, wife of the U. S. Consul-General, who presented members of the audience with small American flags and badges, as in their annual custom.

"Maybe I can free myself. from this obsession about Dan," she thonght, dropping off. There had been days when she was certain she had conquered the wild, un- governable anguish. But then a chance look, a word, a quoted line of verse, would get the old pain to throbbing again. Well, she would put half 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 up some mail," Miss Anstice an- nounced, turning away from the telephone. Monnie's heart gave a wild leap. A letter-the long- awaited letter might be among them! But there was only a bon Į voyage note from Kay and an- other from Charles Eustace. She had to throttle her disappoint- ment.

She stood on the deck a little later, watching late comers board the ship. Miss Anstice was in her cabin but she had sent Monica out "to see the excitement." A slim. wand of a girl in a coat of hunter's green, for amber суся 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 ona bridal party, youthful and distinguished, dressed with care less elegance, making farewells.
