Be Thou my guide until I find,
Led by a tender hand,

The Police were much more active
and efficient on the 4th and there was
nothing but praise for the grand display
of fireworks at night. Many remained to
witness them and there must have been
nearly 200 people from S.S. in Washington
during the 2 days. The Secy said the
first woman in the Suffrage Parade was
from the neighborhood, and she carried

Wheeler Wilcox. No 1 was as follows,

"Simplicity is less dependent upon external
things than we imagine; it can
live in broadcloth or homespun, it can eat
white bread or black, it is not outward but
inward. A gentle straightforwardness of action,
a kind sincerity of speech, these are marks
of the simple life which is within.
