a better evenings entertainment be-
cause of adequate and correct staging

bers of the order of Eastern Star, left
on the 3:25 Nickel Plate for Valparaiso,
where they were entertained last even

at the station with automobiles. and
taken to the Masonic temple, where the
time was spent in an informal way
until o'clock. During this hour the
members met the grand officers and
members of visiting chapters from va
rious cities in the state. About $50
the guests were invited to form in

and marched to the hotel, where an
elegant four course supper was served
in the dining hall. The room had been
artistically decorated for the occasion
with yellow and white chrysanthemums
and fall foliage. About 800 guests
were present at the banquet and re-
turned to the temple, where the meet
ing was called at $50. The entire
work for the evening was done by the
past matron and patron, Mr.. and Mrs.
stinchfield. One of the pleasing feat
ures of the meeting was the initiation
of their two daughters into the chap
ter. At the conclusion of the initia-
ton the guests were invited into the
banquet room and served with dainty
refreshments. This room was elabor-
ately decorated with the colors of the
order, and the chapter room where the
main session was held was beautiful
with fall decorations of flowers and
ferns.
The Hammond ladies remained in
Valparaiso until this morning and were
che guests of Mrs Pauline Summers, a
sister of Mrs. E. E. Beck of Williams

word was first applied to shell money
used on the west coast Of Africa, and
it got it's name from the town whence
