HEN Rebekah Odd Fellowship
M in California was twenty-one
v years old-just old enough to
vote-she elected to institute
a State body of her Daughters of Re-
bekah. This institution was effected in
the year 1891, and for four years the
body was hailed as a Rebekah State
convention. At the end of that time it
merged into our regularly chartered as
Sembly OF the Independent Order OF
Odd Fellows of the State of California.
But perhaps the uninitiated do not
know or fully realize that the Rebekahs
and the Independent Order of Odd Fell
lows are closely allied and that the
workings Of one seem scarcely COM
plete without the other. In the first
place. both are based on the eternal
principles-bretherly love and Sympa-
thy-and for this reason the two bodies
are being drawn closer and closer to-
gether and their work is growing
stronger and the field larger
American Odd Fellowship is an evolu-
tion from the old English Unity. AS
early as the eighteenth century lodges
or guilds were formed of London me-
chanics, who termed themselves An
cient and Honorable Odd Fellows" At
first the guilds were both social and
purpose was to scatter a little bright
ness about and to aid suffering human
ity. For this reason each member con-
tributed penny week for the relief
of the poor and unfortunate among
them, and this, small as 1t seems, was
the humble origin of the present sys-
tenn Of beneficence and relief which to-
day stands unequaled.
So is it any wonder that as soon as
our great sisterhood had become an
organized whole plans began to be
formulated for establishing a home
for orphans of deceased members.
These plans had been silent hopes long
cherished, but heretofore we had
never been in a position where we
could be a living exemplificatiop of
our motto, I'VE Protect and Educate
the Orphan"
At the time of the second session
of our State body resolutions were in
troduced and unanimously adopted to
begin substantial movement toward
this great achievement, which, by the
way, was to be known as the odd
Fellows Orphans Home of Cali
fornia." Circular letters of informa-
ton and of inquiry were promptly
issued throughout the jurisdiction and
general interest and enthusiasm were
sat once awakened, for, syou see, the
prayer touched the very foundation
of all our lbdges.
1t was originally intended that the
home should be connected with the
home for the aged and INDECENT Odd
Fellows, their wives and widows; but
later these plans were changed, and
eventually the Orphans Home was
located, established and is now being
maintained by the Rebekah Assembly,
I. O.. o. F. of California, under reso-
lutions adopted by said Rebekah As
The San Francisco call., 1904-09-18

sembly and approved by the Grand
Lodge, 1. o. O. F. of the State of Cali
foHnia at the respective sessions of
these grand bodies held in the city OF
San Francisco in May, 1896.
In this way we were clothed with
authority and promptly elected a
board of five trustees to carry on the
great work just undertaken. Mrs.
Caroline a. Hoxett, Gilroy; Mrs. Mary
E. Donoho, San Francisco; Mrs. Sarah
M. Wolf, Sacramento; Mrs. Olive T..
Allen, Santa Rosa, ad Mrs. Mary F.
Thorndike of Stockton were the
chosen ones, so you see the various
jurisdictions were represented, and it
can be truthfully said that not one of
them failed to come to the front with
ready, hearty and substantial aid.
Gnder such circumstances it really
isn't to be wondered at that in less
than two years from the time au-
thority for action was received. the
Orphans Home was grand, existing
reality.
The love to do good needs a spur.
1t is always easier to follow a bright
and shining example than it is to set
1t, you know. and as soon as Mrs.
Caroline A. Hoxett Of Gilroy gave a
tract of five acres there were any
number of gratuitous contributions
from interested and generous lodges
and individuals.
The contract for erection of build
1ngs was awarded March II, 1897. and
it was our wish that active work be
commenced Immediately, for there were
any number of tiny tots that needed
home and good. personal care. So,
accordingly, the cornerstone was laid
on the Sth day of May and il was a
very unique service, for it was the
first and only instance in the history
of the order that such a ceremony had
ever been conducted by women. On
the first day of September the COM
pleted building was formally accepted
by the board of trustees and there
was good cause for loud rejoicing. for
the l. o. o. F. Orphans Home was en-
tirely free from debt. 1t was, however.
quite the last of November before the
first inmates were admitted and ever
since then the number has grown or
diminished, according to demand but

we try to keep it from looking like a

icy in this apparent madness. The
daintiness and freshness are there for
a reason and most excellent one as
well. The girls are instructed to make
the home attractive, to keep it in good
order and to make the very most of
small things. while the bows are

A WOODEN INTRODUCTION.
How GainsbOrOugh Got Aca uafnted
With Thicknesse.

With ThicknesSe.
Gainsborough, the artist, was born
at Sudbury, in England, and there,
says Lord Ronald Cover, he designed
his first work of art. The orchard of
his fathers place had been repeatedly
plundered of fruit. No one knew who
the thief might be until one day young
Gainsborough saw there a rough look
ing man leaning his elbows on the
brick wall He made a sketch of the
fellow, and from this portrait the thief
was afterWapd identified
Later the boy cut out a rough figure
from wood and painted it in oils in the
likeness of this man. The scarecrow
was known as "Jack Peartree." 1t
probably represents Gainsborough's
first attempt at working in oils
1t was the means of introducing the
artist to one of his most intimate
ernOr Of the Landguard fort, near Ips-
witch. Thicknesse was one day walk
ing with friend when he perceived
what seemed to be a melancholy faced
countryman, with his arms locked to-
gether. leaning over the garden wall.
He pointed out the doleful figure to
his companion, who, it seems, was &C.
quaintcd with it.
He has been there all day. said the
gentleman. Il pity him. He must be
either mad Or very miserabe.''
Tlicknesse insisted on approaching
the vretched man and to his delighted
surprise found him to be Jack Pear
tree SO charmed was he with Jack
that he lost no time in becoming ac-
quanted with the author OF Jack be-
ing, with the result Of warm ana
lasting friendship.
