here will be the great ball of the
1 knights Tenplar III the New Ar

a Scranton man, the Scranton COM
inanderies are expecting to out-do any
previous efforts in the way OF state
conclaves and make this the most gor-
geously magnificent pageant possible.
During the next few weeks there Will
be- an unusual solicitude in manly
breasts In this vicinity regarding GER
tain long white ostrich pluines. and the
weather probabilities. The amount of
unhappincss which downpour of rain
on the conclave parade day. can create,
Ia only limited by the doleful possible
ties in a draggled plume and the num-
Der of damp rivuets which can proceed
from 1t over the nose of IL proud Sir
knight.
A committee, headed by Sir Charles
u. Sanderson, will direct the ball ar
rangements. There will be no other
h men but Sir knights at this ball. but
the other mems wives and daughters
and sweethearts may attend to an un-
restricted extent. Hence the popular
ity of the local Sir knight about this
time of the year; hence the tears of
wrest promises from maidens fair that
they will suprn with naughty scorn all
invitations to attend the Knights Tenn
plar ball.
The decorations in the splendid black
and white, the colors of the Templar
for centuries, the red of the Templar's
cross, the blue of the Blue lodge, and
various other hues and shades, the in
depreciation of which the pen of wo-
man may not give will make the New
Armory a blaze Of color for unnum-
bered electrical devices will enter into
the scheme. Even the magnificent ar
mory ball will be surpassed in these
decorations. and there will be the most
elaborate accessories.

entertain lavishly during the conclave.
