drawn up by this convention, which

Several delegates crowded around

to the ladies. He began by saying
that it is commonly understood that
the knights embrace the ladies, and
that he should attempt to do so to the
best of his ability. He spoke of the
beauty of the ladies present, certainly
no aggregation could be more hand
some. and their accomplishments were
many. He spoke of the manner in
| which their acts and deeds have helped
make the order of the knights of
Pythias what it is, by their influence
over the knights individually. He
also very teelingly touched upon the
mother-in-law question, regretting that
he did not have one of his own, but
| from the tone of his remarks, it could
be inferred that at no distant day he
expects to be the proud possessor of
such personality. Mr. McLennan cer-
tainly proved himself to be the right
man for the subject and he handled it

exceedingly proud.

was a subject in which was described
the chief objects of the order, when
pain, and suffering, and death come to
the home of knight, then the benefit
of the order is fully realized, for never
does sorrow come to member but
what the Brother Knight is there
faithful to the end as were Damon and
Pythias always to each other. Mr.
4 Charles Cramer spoke for several
minutes on this subject and fittingly
closed the program of the evening by
his choice remarks.
Misses Perle Ley and Agnes King
presided at the piano during the vocal
solos and the Eggermyer orchestra rem
dered favorite selections from time to
time.
One item worthy of mention is. that
all the Knights who gave toasts were
comp paratively new members and had
never spoken before on such an occa-
sion. Dowdall Lodge No. 80, is the
strongest lodge of any kindsin Denison
at the present time and is rapidly grow
ing, its ranks are being constantly in
creased by the addition of the best
young men of the community. and
financially it is in very prosperous
condition. Much credit for the growth
of the order and for the successful out
come Of social functions as here des-
cribed, should be given to the indomi-
table energy of the officers and menu
bers.
After the banquet those whoafelt so
inclined adjourned to the opera house
where the ball was to take place,
Many going just to ''look on. There
were about thirty couples in the grand
march, Mr.. James Luney and Miss
Lulu Mcguire leading. The music was

red. and yellow, and the symbolic let
ters F. c. B.; he stated that probably
nothing save the stars and stripes was
greater safeguard to him while in
foreign lands and on the water than
the emblem of the Pythian Order.
Much to the regret of those present
the vocal solo, THE Giojio,n by Mrs.
Sibbert was omitted owing to her i'll
health. Mrs. Sibbert is known to be
one of the sweetest singers in Denison
and her inability to render this selec-
tion was deeply regretted by all. Mrs.
D. L. Boynton in her striking manner
portrayed the pythian knight in a
manner much appreciated by the mem
bership of the lodge. She called atten-
tion to the knight following the obli-
cations of the Order, not as knight
of war as in olden times. but as a
knight of peace, standing as friend
for his brother, upholding the right,
caring for the sick. relieving the des-
titute. and aiding the widow and Or
phan. Mrs. Boynton has often been
heard on previous occasions of this
kind and she but added to her former
reputation as speaker.

familiar this sounded to all the
knights, as well as their ladies, and
Mrs. B. f. Philbrook doubtless voiced
the expression of all the ladies present
in her well-worded talk on this sub.

the early evening to help the boys

and also the same brave knight re-
turning early the next day with all the
appearance of not having stopped
when the third was finished, but of
having passed on working ''a fifth or
''a SIXTH or the whole thing. She
added that all the ladies of the Order
would forget all the trials they had un.
dergone for the past year, after par.
taking of the magnificent banquet.

fancy that she reserves her best efforts
for her home people who are SO proud
of her. Her voice is sweet and musi-

much power.

no one could do justice, particularly on
this occasion; Mr. w. Nj. McLennan
