The District Lodge.

Mr.. VIM. r. Singleton responded to the
toast 1.-The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge
of the District of Columbia" He felt happy
at being SO honored, especially SO since it
was his birthright. He referred feelingly
to the mother lodge of master Masons, from
which all other Masonic degrees sprung
Masonry began shortly after the District Of
Columbia became municipality. The first
lodge was started In Georgetown by num-
Der of Scotchmen, who brought a charter
with them from Scotland. and called their
lodge ST. Andrews. Then came reverses
and they had to surrender their charter,
only to take another charter from Mary
land, calling their lodge Columbia. When
the Capitol was built and the President of
the United States laid the corner stone
Potomac Lodge assisted in the ceremonies,
and the gavel used on that memorable day
has gone over the United States. The cor
ner stone of the Capitol was laid in the
southeast corner, and not in the northeast
corner, as now done by Masons. He ex-
hibited an old piece of candle. which, he
explained. was one of the lesser lights
borne at the funeral of General Washing
ton by Brother Mccormick The candle
was kept in box made by Brother B. B.
French from wood grown at Mt. Vernon
and presented by him to the Grand Lodge
Mr.. S. NJ. Todd responded feelingly to the
toast 1.-The Memory of the Three Grand
Commanders" Brothers Pike, Batcheller
and Tucker.
The toast ITO All Masons and All Masonic
Bodies" vas the theme given Theo. S.
Parvin of Iowa. He made good use of his
subject, and put every one in good humor
by his happy remarks.
The next toast was 'The Ladies'" and
Mr.. George F. Moore of Alabama responded
His remarks We're witty and well timed.
Captain Allison Nailor responded to the
toast 1.-The Babies of Our Supreme Coun-
cil." He had learned while a child that
children should be seen and not heard
Notwithstanding this assurance he made a
handsome speech, that was crisp and

The Bond of the Scottish Rite.

Lieut.. Grand Commander o. D. Long
responded to the toast, 1.-THE Supreme
Council southern jurisdiction United States,
the mother council of the world, and it's
grand commander" He said he had al
ways been accustomed to think that the
Scottish Rite established a closer bond be-
tween its devotees than in any other Ma
sonic rite. Scottish Rite was the old mys-
teries in modern dress. It is Freemasonry,
freed from all the old mistakes of interpre-
tation by ignorant men. He paid a glow
ing tribute to the grand commander, who
for many years had been known through
out this broad land as an accomplished
Freemason. His election to the high Of
fee was no mistake. He trusted that God
in His infinite goodness would prolong his
tenure of Office for long time to come
May he be spared for many years to guide
the fortunes of the Supreme Council The
next toast was the Supreme Council of
the northern Jurisdiction of the United
States" Inspector Martin Collins of Mis-
souri, responded. 1t was a mistake, he
said, to think that there was any differ
ence between the northern and southern
Jurisdiction. The northern jurisdiction was
child of the southern jurisdiction. A
proud child that looked to the mother for
that favor that it deserved for work well
done. The tOaStmaSter announced that
there was an addenda to the last toast.
Mr.. James H. Hopkins, inspector general.
PAST grand commander of the Grand En-
campment of the United States, Knights
TempIar. was called upon to respond, and
he did so in felicitous manner.

crs. All the inside seams were bound with
narrow reseda green ribbon, so that no
raw edge was visible.
The gown itself was cut princess style
and had a demitrain. The gown was of
striped peau de sole old rose pink and
reseda green. Around the waist was
velvet belt ending at the sides with shirred
plating, If one may give such a name TO
the peculiar arrangement OF the velvet
ends Down the front was n piece of old
rose velvet set over panel of silk muslin
of delicate reseda green The neck was
cut SQUARE, and all around it was n twist
ed putting of silk muslin about two inches
wide with pulled rosettes at each corner
Extending around the neck and down each
side of the front nearly to the bottom was
a five inch band of rich Irish point lace,
ending at the bottom in front in short
frill OF the silk muslin. There was band
of reseda satin ribbon under the lace to
throw up its creamy mesh. The sleeves
were OF the peau de sole with falls of SILK
muslin, the dividing line being Of the vel
vet with tiny rosette on the upper side.

or old a woman may be, she does like to
have pretty and becoming things, but 1T Is
strange that so few realize what is becom-

or age. When a woman does reach full
understanding of all these things, she Is
always W ell dressed, even If her gown Is no
more than a calico one. 1t Is pity that
there are no schools to teach these essen
tials. had thought n few years since that
women had learned few lessons mt least
on the subject of color, but one look down

soon show that they have forgotten them,
If they ever did know, for brilliant primary
colors run riot now, like n bed of mixed
yerbenas. Well, the sight is not n dull or
dispiriting one.
The little ones are not sharing in all this
riot and tumult of primaries. d" They are
not afflicted with purple, gold and green,
with red and enamel colors and with the
scintillant mass of spangles their elders
bear up so bravely under.
Four little ones may stand as types and
models for the majority of children's cos
TUNES for out of doors. Even indoors their
colors are almost as restricted. One little
girl of 8 had greenish tan cashmere coat
laid in plaits an inch deep all around, the
plaits starting at the yoke and reaching TO
the bottom. There was wide white lace
collar at the neck and a crushed belt oil

formed the collar. Big leg o mutton

1 have wondered why some enterprising
person has not ere this presented some
thing called Trilby, and there is now fab
ric on the market of that magic name.
1t is n jacquard weave of mohair in small
figures. 1t is pretty and will be useful as
a travelling or other fatigue gown, but IL Is
scarcely worthy of the name. BY the way,
I found in an old French book the other
day n description of a horse, and that
horses name was Trilby.
The spangles are more and more often
seen, and on some garments they are sewed
to n ridiculous extent. In one or two in
stances they are sewed so rs to cover the
entire waist, overlapping like fish scales
One was done in green and looked like the
preconceived idea of q wicked dragon.
Among the novelties for summer dresses
there are some corded white and colored
ducks. Some of the white duck dresses
are embroidered with big black arrow
heads or other more curious than beautiful
designs, and others are deliberately braid
ed with narrow block soutache in the style
of 80 years ago. These suits are made with
blouse fronts and with Elton Jackets almost
entirely covered with the braiding. There
is a stuff called teviot that resembles
close but heavy sailcloth. 1t is of cotton
and comes in stripes, checks, seeded pat
terms and few jacquard figures. Some OF
it. however, looks very like wooden tweeds
and cheviots 1t will make excellent
mountain gowns. For this purpose there
are some very pretty wooden homespuns IN
soft and pleasing tints, mostly dark,
thouph there are mixtures where bluet,
mauye and green mingle with the darker
threads. Homespuns are soft and pleasant
TO the touch, and they are loosely and
rouphly woven on hand looms, which may
! be the reason why they are so costly. A
few of them have little rough knots and
curled rings above the surface. They
| make stylish tailor gowns.
I notice this week in one swell establish
ment several waists of rich black MORE.
/ Heretofore all the fancy waists have been
of light color These MORE waists have
7 edgings and other trimmings of round jet

upon the MORE was very fine and rich.

also set upon the front of the slippers wher
they are used upon the waist The stock

7le Play s the Thing g

The week before the theater -going public is one which should be calculated to please the most fastidious. For variety, and that of ahigh character, it is certainly all that could be desired.
 There will be comic opera, musical coDi- edy. music pure and of the highest order, interspersed with songs from one ofthe most noted women of the present day, and comedy galore.
 For Tuesday evening feast of comic opera is the attraction, "Wang" being engaged tor that occasion. Nothing new can be said for this more than entertaining comic opera so full of rhythmic numbers, magnificent solos, delightful music and brinming over with laugh-provoking Jolliiy. Then, too, the scenic effects are of a gorgeous ness almost indescribable.
 Somebody once said that you might as welfattempt to analyze hasheesh dream as to anaiyze "Wang.o And he might have added that like the generality of such dreams, 'Wang' is delightful, a dream in itself of beautiful scenes ana beautiful women, laughter and nonsense, fantastic costumes and delicious music. 1t does not pretend to be more than it is and that Is something to be devoutly thankful for in these days of MuDchausen advance agents and circus posters. "Wang' is merely sugared sea- foam. It is the embodiment t of iollity with ieaveniug of beautiful and truthful pictures of far away Siam, the land of the white elephant. Beyonc the picturesque features and it's melodies it claims no merit but that of entertainment, !, and this merit it has successfully claimed forthree years.

The following more than complimentary notices are worthy of perusal by those who desire to know what is thought of Miss Rice by New Orleans critics:
 The Times-Democrat: Fanny Rice has every reason to be proud of the size and character of the audience which heartily welcomed her return to New Orleans, and still more proud of the laughter and ap- pause which greeted her every effort in the unique play, entitled "Nancy," which has proved a very taking one wherever she has appeared in it. Fauny Rice is brimful of chic, vivacity, dramatic force and mag netism. She wins one without letting him know how he has been won, and her every look, tone and gesture is bubbling over with the very essence of comedy. Her "Nancy' is far-reachinC and unqualified success.
 The Daily States: Pretty, sprightly Fanny Rice, with her catchy songs and clever acting in her successful operatic comedy, "Nancy," delighted large audi euce at the academy last night. It would not be fair to say she did this all by her. self, because Miss Rice is supported by a good company, which constitutes mate- rially to the effectiveness of the entertain- ment. "Nancy," Miss Rice's latest suc- cess, was the attraction.
