The reception given last week Fri

Iona Chapter, No. 81, o. E. S. that is
the Eastern Star and their friends, to
the Worthy MatrOn, Mrs. Lucia NJ.
Peaslee and the Worthy Patron. A.
I. Clarke, was well attended and was
a most enjoyable affair. The Worthy
Matron and the Worthy Patron re-
ceived the guests as they came into
the hall with the grace and dignity be-
coming their station, and soon all were
at their ease in pleasant social chat.
The entertainment offered was brief
but very select, the Cecilian quartet
was at its best and their fine singing
only added one more to the many
proofs that Bradford has a large num-
ber of excellent singers. The story of
and Philander and their ten
der but embarrassed attitude toward
one another was graphically and appre-
ciatively depicted by Miss Mary E.
Jones in her happiest vein. Later
Miss Jones, in behalf of Iona Chap
ter, presented to Worthy Patron
Clarke a beautiful gold headed cane;
embossed and engraved,
with the assurance the Chapter would
keep it good and replace it when worn
)ut. The refreshments were of the eX-
eellent quality always had in that
Hall, and certainly the invited guests
Of the occasion who are not members
Of the mystic order went away greatly
pleased.
