the third day to a grand public social session
where ladies may attend and where a pro-
gramme may be presented that will please all,
and where the reputation and membership of
our beloved Elks may be greatly increased.
He. says: II feel sure -one of the prominent
theatrical managers of Pittsburg will donate
his theater, and as so many of the talented
sectors will be there, and SO many bright Elks
who are not actors will also volunteer to assist,
that we can present a most unique entertain
ment which will be thoroughly enjoyed by all
SO fortunate as to attend. The idea came to
me during a conversation with Brother Barton
Hill, the celebrated actor, and the more
think 1t over the more realize how much good
it will do our order. The ladies win be de-
lighted; the papers, local and non-local, will
publish accounts of it, and the result cannot
help but be of great good 10 u.s."
