Grand President Mrs. Conrad paid visit TO
Alameda Parlor last Monday. and was most
cordially welcomed.
Last Thursday night Buena Vista Parlor
worked in the initiatory degree in the pres
ence OF q good attendance.
Members of parlors frequently say; at is
singular that our parlor does not get a notice
in THE CALLS Fraternal Department" The
fault is not with THE CALL, but with the OH
GERS of the parlors, particularly the recording
secretaries, who promise to send IN news OF
the parlor's doings that would prove OF in
terest to the order at large. but beyond the
promise nothing comes OF it, II the Items
are sent to this department they will appear
IN print, and then there Will be no occasion
for such remarks as the one quoted.
The officers of Occident Parlor of Eureka,
Hum boldt County, were installed on the 2Sth
of last month by A. L. Monroe, ID. d. q. p, In
the presence of thirty of the members and
visitors of the Oneonta Parlor of Ferndale and
Union Parlor of Arcata. The occasion was
made one for a grand Publication and the
hail was decorated with profusion of most
beautiful flowers. There was banquet after
the ceremonies and not few speeches.. The
affair was great success and the manner in
which every detail WAS carried out is most
creditable to the committee on entertainment
The officers for the ensuing term are: Past
president, Miss Z. Burnell; president, Mrs A.
A. Felt; first vice-president Mrs. NJ. G. Mullin;
second president, Mrs c. Clark; third
vice-president, Mrs. c. L. Campbell; marshal,
Mrs. M. J. Langford; financial secretary, Mrs.
NJ. L. Jones; recording secretary, Mrs. L. V.
Holmes; treasurer, Mrs. J. V. Dewey; inside
sentinel, Mrs. E. ]. Herrick; outside sentinel,
Mrs. d. F. Kellogg; trustees-Mlss L. Quick,

One OF the local parlors has got into most
senseless wrangle over the TACT that on the oc-
casion of the recent installation of officers one
OF the retiring officers was the recipient OF
pres sent from one faction of the parlor and to
the purchase of which the other faction did
not contribute. This has caused so much
feeling and destroyed the harmony that here
tofore prevailed 10 such an extent that unless
peace is patched up there will be one star
less in the armament of bright parlors.
Mrs. Robert P. Gale OF La Estrella Parlor has
discontinued her days at home.
