At the rear Of the hall was the cabal- istic insigna "k of r" arranged in six-fOOt letters aglow with electric { lights. At the head Of the hall and in the center of the table was placed an immense pyrimidal cake, four feet high, bearing the shield and colors of | the order with the letters F C E [ (Faith, Charity, Benevolence) with :he following legend below the shield:

 The guests commenced to assemble at about s:30, and at @ o'clock, L. A. w.
