ments or the holiday season was the

The entertainment was more than
suggestive of the Yuletide. both in
decorative features and in the genial
Warmth OF the gracious hospitality.
Holly, mistletoe boughs. flowers. and
ribbon we're carried out most effectively
throughout the mouse. The character
istic elegance of the entertainment gave
to ii Il prestige all its own.
In the receiving line with the host and
hostess. the youth and beauty of sew
era1 States were represented Stately
palms concealed the orchestra, which
discoursed sweet music. while the hours
glided by all too swiftly.
Al midnight sweet strains of music
called the guests TO the dining hall,
where a feast had been prepared. Here
the spirit OF Yuietide ran riot AT
the farther end an old colonial fire
place had been arranged as IL fSr
Christmas Eve. and a visit from Santa
Claus might have been expected any
moment if one might jYdge from the
scene before them.
Here again holly, rlstletoe, red rib

ness not soon forgotten The refresh

morning the guests departed loud in

LOGAN TRIBE, RED MEN,
FORM FUNERAL FUND

Logan Tribe. No. s. Improved Order of
Red Men. has established funeral beae-
fit fund of it's own, a plan regarded as
more satisfactory than any Vet tried.
The tribe belonged TO a down town Or
ganization, in which number OF otner
fratecnal organizations of the District
were interested, and at the death OF a
member this central organization paid
the funeral benefit fG-lc
The local tribe found it to be more
advanta geous to sever relations ard es-
tablish its own fund. The tribe is well
off financially and in a position To meet
it's obligations AS the members are now
deeply interested and the loca' tribe
in a most fourishing condition this is
perhaps the best plan that could lie de
vised.
The establishment of lts owl 'euneral
fund has placed the order in MS see
ton on much higher plane in the es-
tin4atiOn of the other fraternal oTsaaiZa-
tions and it is likely that the example
set by the Red Men may be followed by
other bodies
