 ORDER OF THE AMARANTH.
 At the meeting of Crescent Court in the Red Mems building last Wednesday night the royal matron presented to the court a specimen of her pandiwork in the shape of white silk banner with bullion fringe. On the face of the ban ner she had placed in oil colors the sev- eral emblems of the order, which are symbolcal, and when grouped together in the artistic manner they are on this silk, produce a fine effect. The gift was received on behalf of the court by the royal patron, George w. Drew, who made a very impressive response and then placed the banner in the keeping of Henry M. Owens, the honored herald. The banner was very much admired by all, and was specially commented upon favorably by visitors from Mistletoe Court of Minneapolis. These visitors also expressed themselves as very favorably impressed with the manner in which the officers of the court performed their work. This court has been placed in charge of the Sloan booth that will be one of the features of the Masonic Fair.
