night. 1t was one of those inimitab Bile
affairs for which the order is famous,
and in which it eNcels. II was one OF
the most enjoyable of the many enjoy
able social sessions which this lodge
has held. Doug. Smith presided With
that grace and appropriateness for
which he is noted His first official act
was to fine brother for being on the
earth, and his next was to fine another
brother for some fictitious crime the
nature of which has never been learn
ed by the victim. who paid it without a
murmur. During the evening a varied
and informal program was rendered. Of
character found nowhere else out
side of this lodge. including songs. re-
citations and all sorts of instrumental
music. The occasion was made the
more delightful by the presence of a
number of visiting guests in the per-
sons OF the male members Of the vaude-
vile company, which had just conclud-
ed its performance at the Opera House.
These clever gentlemen contributed ma
terially to the program.
