BEAUTY OF THE DEGREES.
How Degree Teams Are Raising the
Standard In Degree Work.

How Degree Teams Are Raising the
Standard In Degree Work.
1t is an suspicious sign that so many
special degree teams are being organ
lied in oranges all over the country
1t means that there is striving after
the ideal in the comforting of degrees
which requires most careful prepare
ton and persistent practice. There is
ample Opportunity here for the best
talent to interest itself and the result
can only be the highest degree of per-
lection it Is possible to attain. The
rare beauty of the degree work when
well performed commends our ritual
to the most critical observers as being
second to none If only that beauty be
brought out as it may be by well drill
ed degree teams.
In this connection we quote q para.
graph from Maine paper descriptive
of the degree staff and auxiliary of
Auburn grange:
RED lights, picturesque tableaux and
good music added flavor to the Impress
i've degree work, which was followed
by an elaborate and perfectly executed
drill by the large auxiliary and the in
coming of n merry band of harvesters,
bearing the fruits Of their toll in their
arms. And not the least attractive fea-
ture Of the whole entertainment, for
such 1t was in the truest sense, were
the graceful draperles of the varicol-
Ored gowns worn by the ladies during
the degree work and the more somber
regalia of the men. After the final in
structions in the degrees were given
the auxiliary marched in. The ladies
all wore Grecian dreeses of cream
color, while the men wore broad sashes.
All carried staffs of white. The march
ing and countermarching, the elaborate
figures, the kneeling and pretty posing
and picturesque groupings, several Of
which were intensified by colored
lights, were to all appearance perfect"
