And bright the lamps shone DER fair women
and brave men,"
Last Wednesday evening Music Hall
was crowded beyond its capacity, the
occasion being the May Day bali given
by Calanthe Temple No. 3, Rathbone
Sisters. The hall was beautifully dec
grated with streamers and banners and
colored lights. The center piece was a
large lantern casting shades of white,
red, yellow and blue. The banners were
silver and gold on backgrounds of diff
ferent colors. The booths were white
and laden with flowers. The stage was
filed with the pretty little girls who
were to take part in the May Day exer-
cises and crown their queen. Those
taking part were: ALA Clippenger,
Queen of May Winnie Ross, lst Maid OF
Honor Jessie Evans, End Maid of Hon
or Lottie Huston, 3rd Maid OF Honor;
Eta Webb, 4th Maid of Honor ;

Scepter Bearer; Alice George, Faith
Mable Murray, Hope Jennie Marshall,
Charity; Helen Hettenhausen, Rose /;
Fannie Pike, Forget-ne-not; Wanda
Esden, Violet; Leta Yergin, Daisy
Lilah Abbay, Pink; Annie Crosby, Snow
drop; Myrtle York, Wild flower. The
exercises attending the browning OF ALA
~Clippenger as Queen of May were very
interesting and well carried out and the
Queens address of welcome was deliver
ed in a that would be creditable
to a veteran speaker.
The May-pole dance was simply beau
tiful and the little folks were well drill
ed and moved through the figures so
gracefully that one could hear exclama-
tons of delight from all parts OF the hall
as the colored ribbons were wound and
unwound on the pole. Whoever train
ed the children is deserving OF much
praise for the success Of the pretty pic
ture. The grand march was led by
Captain ]. G. Erb and Mrs. w. c. Hall
with the members of Wadsworth Divis-
ion No. 4 in uniform, the officers of Cal
anthe Temple in regalia and the Knights
