steal and literary program has been
prepared by High Priest Roe Fulkerson,
after which the evening will be devoted
to dancing in the great Auditorium. with
occasional variations in the way OF re-
freshments in the large banquet hall. The
high priest in his invitation has reminded
the companions of his chapter that the
occasion Is theirs: that they do not need,
but will not be barred If they wear dress
suits, and that the chief object Of the
celebration is to bring into closer social
touch the members of the chapter and
their families. In other words, 1t Is
purely a home-gathering, but an evening
of unalloyed enjoyment is promised all
who come.
The Arab Patrol Of Almas Temple is
r0f
Thanksgiving eve which is promised to
eclipse anything Of its kind ever given
in Washington by a body of the Masonic
fraternity. The affair, according to re-
ports, is to take the type of "Gridiron
dinner" except that the fez-wearers are
confident it will eclipse even that famous
function. There will be orchestral mu-
sic vocal music, and the music OF the
spheres" so the announcement of Capt.
Frank e. Gibson states. with person
ally conducted tour of the entire party
from Washington to st. Paul and through
all the experiences and incidents of that
noted trip which brought the patrol back
to Washington the champions of the
United States in the matter Of evolution
ary art DR.. Gibson states that the
leading features will be in the nature of
series of surprises all around, and no
pains nor expense is being spared to make
the affair an event memorable in the an
nails of the patrol. The special guests OF
the evening will be famous Masonic ora
tor and distinguished author. whose
names are withheld for the present. but
who have given assurance of their pres
ence on the occasion. The invitations are
the handsomest that have been issued to
a function at Washington in long time,
consisting of a blending of gold and silver
flagree work on a background of pink
celluloid. with hand-painted ornamental
ton.
