Doings Of the Secret Societies
of Seattle
SEEKING NEW LODGE ROOMS.
The EIks Will Meet Monthly During the
summer-Mssonic Blue Lodge at
Fall City--Red Mems Hunt.

1t has been another quiet week among
the secret societies of the city, and the
meetings are gradually growing smaller
and less interesting Is the weather grows
warmer and the evenings shorter. Several
of the bodies have arranged to move into
newer and less cramped quarters now that
some of the large halls in the new bricks
have been finished. and the probability is
that each society will be in position to
avoid meeting in the same hall with some
other body when come the long evenings
of winter. Following are the reports re-
ceived:
