THERE ARE BUT TWO WOMEN
IN THE SOCIETY OF ELKs

There are thousands of ElkS but not
all are of the male persuasion. In fact,
two members of the order are women.
They are Amelia bingham and Katie
Emmett.
How did they become entitled to this
distinction when the constitution dis
tinctly prohibits the initiation or rep
rcScntativcS Of the world Of feminn-
ity? Perhaps il IL because the Elks 60
not believe the constitution should
stand between friends. BE this as it
may. Amelia Bingham and Katie En-
met are Ellls in all the term implies.
These actresses have ever been
friends and patr0ncSscS of the order

has appeared on such occasions in
nearly all the large cities.
Three years ago the New York lodge
in token of this appreciation of Miss
Bingham's many generosities. desired
to give her complimentary testi-
monial This WAS decided with the
suggestion that the only favor that
they could extend to her was to make
her an Elk. She was told she could
emulate Katie Emmett and become an
honorary member. This was also de-
clined with the remark: Il will be a
fun antlered Elk or nothing"
Now Miss Bingham is a good fell

was secured she went through the en-
tire initiatory ceremony, nothing was
omitted, indeed, the beautiful actress
even rode the goat man fashion and it
never feazed her. She has the open Sc
same to every lodge and often avails
herself of il. on which occasion il is
safe to say the antler wearers are
prettily entertained. She is proud of
the Elks and the Elks are proud of
her.
