 The finance and decoration committees of ladies of the Grand Commandery met yesterday to lay plans for the comman- dery booth, which is to be one of the most attractive in the festival. It will be beautifully decorated and every lady will contribute something to be sold. The principal feature of the booth, however, will be a theater, where performances will be kept going as long as the festival doors are open. Already committees are out looking for talent-musical, dramatic or athletic amateur or professional.
 Another original plan, proposed by R. P. Hurlburt, and under his charge, Is to build the walls of the reception-room of the home of small tiles, each bearing the name of Msson. The tiles are 6x2 inches and fSr s a name will be burned in in gold and will gleam from the wall in perpetual memory of the man who tried to help. The names are being beau tifully painted by Miss Annie Flint daughter of B. P. Flint, one of the prom inent commanders of the commandery
