We must certainly compliment
Golden Lake on the hall. which
they occupy. Without doubt it is
the finest in New England used by
True Reformers, it is we'll furnish
ed in every detail and lighted by
incandescent electric lights which
gives it soft, mellow light that is
unsurpassed by very few, if any.
We believe if more of our Fount-
aims had such quarters it would be
of great benefit, as these outside
of the order would feel that it was
an honor to belong to an organiza.
ton which met in such cosy quart
erS as we all like fine appearances.
Harvard Fountain $50, of Cam
bridge met last Tuesday evening
and received several applications
for membership.
We would not be surprised to
hear of wedding among True Re-
formers in Cambridge soon, if ap-
pea1ances amount to anything,
Don't we hope they will not forget
to invite your correspondent in or
der that we may have full report. |
Many in our division are anxious
to receive the new constitution.
Mrs. Martha Tanner of Eastern
Star Fountain has recently returned |
to Cambridge, after a pleasant So
journ in Philadelphia where she vis-
tied the P. M. Council and several
Fountains. We are glad to see her
home again and happy to know that
her husband Bro. B. T. Tanner is |
now in our ranks having been ini-
tiate1 in Eastern Star at their last
meeting.
Mrs. Rev. J. VIM. H. Johnson is |
anticipating visit to the western
part of the country soon.
A new organization to be known |
as the Mass, Aid and Protective As.
sociation for friendless colored girls
and Industrial Mission has recently |
opened in north Cambridge with |
Rev. P. 7. Stanford, D. D., IL. D..
as president. As the color line is |
not drawn in public institutions in
our state, we advise all who are
friendless of our race up to 70 years
