when they followed the pace which the
Masonic lodge has set for them at various
times by indulging in an afternoon and
evening session. The sessions began in the
afternoon about three o'clock and before 1t
was time to stop for supper four candidates
had been initiated into the mysteries of the
order and had been properly instructed in
the ways OF shining as good and bright stars
should shine. At six o'clock a recess was
taken and the members repaired to the new
banquet hall which has but just been finished

.unate enough to be members of the same |
starry host, enjoyed very pleasant banquet |

made and responses given and generally |
rood social time was had. After the ban
luet the ladies resumed work In the lodge |
'oom aud initiated four more candidates,
making total of eight for the first days |
