GRATIFYING PROG RESS

lady friends of the MaSonS might be cited
by the hundred, but one that occurr ed
couple of days ago is well worth recital.
A lady who Is energetically working in be-
half of her husbands lodge and whose en-
thusiasm leads her to regard that part of
the fair as the only thing to be considered
in connection with it, went into the busi-
ness place of one of the Masons most
prominently identified with the fair in an
official way and asked to see the proprie-
tor. When he came forward she produced
book and asked a contribution for the
Masonic fair. The gentleman, who has
keen appreciation of the humorous, eX-
pressed a desire to hear something about
the fair, whereupon the lady volubly des-
canted upon the enterprise and the pur-
pose to build national Masonic Temple
here, and proved herself such an able ad-
vocate that her auditor wrote out a sub
stant1al check and gave it to her for the
lodge she SO ably represented. When she
gleefully reported the check to the meet
ing of the ladies' auxiliary of the lodge
there was an immediate chorus of surprise.
Why" almost shrieked the chairman,
you got donation from the man who is
one Of the leaders in the fair movement"
And the successful solicitor could only
calculate, Goodness graciousr'
