F-r-a-t-e-r-n-a-l. Fraternal. Oh! in
these years of grace how often do we
see that poor word misused and abused.
Insurance Company's solicitors drum

ties are continually harping on the
word. In the walks of private life
members of those bodies will tell you
that this fraternal feeling is the great
band that forms the foundation of their
order. Some few days ago the writer
received an apt and vivid illustration

happening to accidently hear his name
mentioned, walked around and joined
the group, and during the length Of
time he stayed with them, some fifteen
minutes, not one word was spoken, not
even bidding him the time of day.

from those in male attire.
