Pins and insignia are becoming so plentiful
that in a recent issue of Masonic journal the
editor after enumerating the list in his jurisdic-
tiop remarked that "a member Of the order who
had taken all the degrees and wore all the en-
blems at one and the same time would look like
an animated mosaic of enamel and gold" The
most tasteful and elegant design is the combina-
tion jewel for the watch chain, on which in
compact and unostentatious manner are dis
played the emblems of both the York and Scot
tish rites, the commandery, and the Shrine.
Brghtwood, D. c., has now another full
fedged Masonic attraction, the infant capitular
body Of the District of Columbia Brghtwood
Chapter No. 9, the convocations of which are
held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of
each month. Only one other Masonic body
meets upon these dates, and this fact insures
good attendance at each meeting of the Chapter,
and when the personal popularity of the we'll
known officers who have been selected to pre-
side over the destinies of the organization is
taken into consideration only the brightest fu-
ture can be prophesied for the new chapter
The elective officials are as follows: Henry
Yost, NJ. E. II. F.; s. Q. Stokes, E. r.; John
A. I.einrich, E. s.; II. M. Westfall Secretary,
and George w. Baloch, Treasurer. The ad-
dress of the NJ. e. P. II. is 1923 Thirteenth
street northwest and that of the Secretaryis 910
street northwest. The chapter meets in the
Masonic Hall at Brightwood.
February 10 lodge of sorrow will be held by
cathedral of the rite. Among all the beautiful
ceremonies of Scottish Masonry these exercises
are perhaps the most interesting, to members
and the public alike. 1t has been some years
since an event of this kind has been held in the
city, and this occasion will therefore be of un-
usual interest Lodges of sorrow are almost
unknown in the United States, especially in the
York Rite, where they are great rarity, and no
official ritual is provided for them In Ger
many and, in fact, throughout the Continent,
they are of very frequent occurrence, in some
bodies being held at stated intervals. The last
lodge of sorrow held under the auspices of the
Scottish Rite was conducted in the Metropoli-
tan Church, corner Four-and-a-half and @
streets. On that occasion Brother William Os-
car Roome presided, Brother e. B. Hay deliver
ing the address. The music was furnished by
the Scottish Rite choir of male voices assisted
by the choir of Ascension Church, under the
direction of Brother e. s. Holmes.
Washington Comman6ery No. l will confer
the Order of the Temple Wednesday evening.
The last conclaye of this organization was the
date Of its siXty-siXth anniversary, and in con-
