quarters OF Lafayette Council, on York
street. The members of Lafayette Coun-
Gil have been working for months in an
endeavor to arrange for the proper enter

to 1t that proper accommodations have

The efforts of the committee have beer
supplemented by committee of ladies'.

eight ladies on the committee. and the
delegates are assured of a cordial well

The main interest in the proceedings
OF the Grand Council will center around
the election of Grand officers and the re-
