convention was the ball given last
night in Turnverein hall, which was
largely attended by the Druids and
their friends.
Grand Circle Completes Work
The Druidesses closed their seventh
annual convention yesterday in Odd
Fellows hall. Despite tradition they
talked less than the Druids, and con-
sequently completed their balloting
little after noon. The public installa-
tion Of officers was held under the di-
rection of Past Supreme Arch James F.
Martinoni and Supreme Herald julius
s. Godeau, both of San francisco.
One of the important changes made
by the Druidesses was the reduction OF
the yearly per capita tax from so cents
to 40 centSa and the increase Of $50 and
$50 respectively in the salary of the
grand druidess and the grand secretary
An innovation in the circle was the
prayer composed by Mrs. Grace u.
Ohnimus the new grand chaplain. Inc
prayer has been adopted to be used at
future sessions.
Mrs. Ida Wheeler presented in behalf
of the grand circle past grand arch
druidess regalia and gold watch to
Mrs. Marie Bammann, the past grand
arch druidess who had served as grand
arch druidess for seven years, from the
beginning Of the grand circle. Mrs.
Wheeler also presented Mrs. Thornhll, |
who had served seven years as grand
secretary, with silver toilet set, and

during the sessions of the circle, in
