Mystic Shriners held sway at Luna Park
yesterday afternoon and last evening, when
| many members of the order. accompanied
by their families and friends, visited the
Virginia resort. The program was carried
out by the Arab Patrol of Almas Temple
and the organization maintained its fine
reputation for entertaining. Two weddings,
! a foot ball game, drill by the patrol and
singing by Mrs. R. II. Fatt were features
of the program.
The speciality of the afternoon was a
wedding, which occurred a few minutes
after o'clock. Up to that hour every car
from Washington and Alexandria was filled
with persons attracted to the park by the
| fact that it was Shrine day" There was
a noticeable majority of women among
those who came, and they had no eyes for
any of the other attractions of the park
until the marriage cermony was completed.
Early in the afternoon the women fiocked
to the seats in front of the band stand,
where the ceremony was to take place, and
waited for the procession.

Alexandria and Mt. Vernon railway the
