The Pageant of Life The color scheme has been suggested by the colors in the Yellowstone Park, including: the rich browns and reds and yellows of the hot water sprines, and the blues and lavcnders and pinks of the wild flowers, pre-eminently on Xlt.

Shakespeare, Tin' Tmriprff YISIONS CAs Dreams fly away, Vision enters, and as she dances about them lying on the ground, they awake and follow this beautiful vision which they see gleaming before them. She leads them up the hill where they stand for a moment with outstretched arms, with head, eyes, and whole bodies uplifted, in joy and exaltation.l Not of the sunlight, Down to the haven, And ere it vanishes Not of the moonlight, Call your companions, Over the margin, Not ofthe starlight!

Youth comes down the hill onto the stage of Life with a joyous, happy dance. Then follow the other attendants of Youth, Beauty and Philosophy, and at the end of this, two wonderful tableaux are presented-one of Beauty and the other of Philosophy. The tableau of Philosophy is after a group by Kathleen Beverly Robinson. , 'lThe Waves of the sea have spoken to meg the Wild birds have taught meg the music of many Waters has been my master.
