vantage of such gathering to ply
their trades. They were seen at va
rious corners hawking their wares In
asmuch as many had come in from the
country to see the parade it is likely
that between the citizens, Templars
and outsiders, the vendors did a good
business They had all sorts of trink-
cts, Templar and otherwise to dispose
OF for price and it is likely that
many will take souvenirs away with
them.
The TempIars came, but they came
not alone Many brought their wives
with them But the women were here
for other reasons. than to be with
their husbands. The women have a
shrine as well as the men and it was
for the purpose of electing officers and
initiating candidates that they were
here. They met in the evening at
the Robert White lodge rooms to hold
their initiation. The officers of their
shrine were High Priestess Mrs. steve
