forerunner of many more that are to

a sendoff in the shape of telling what
he thought that the latter could do for
the order in Los Angeles. Mr.. McDon-

members are working hard and the fu-
ture is very bright for IVanhoe.
Poinsettia homestead No 1885 gave
a big masked ball Thursday evening
at Mammoth hall. There was a large
crowd in attendance and the faces that
appeared on the scene would have
made a New Orleans Mardi Gras
crowd look like 80 cents.
The grand march brought forth a
notified assemblage that was good to
look upon--nit. There were Zulus,
Spanish, Italians, queens, kings skele-
tons, jokers and many other people
that generally congregate where the
masked ball holds sway.
The prizes were awarded as follows:
First prize for ladies, Mrs. .. K.
White second prize for ladies, Mrs.
Thorne first prize for gentlemen, Mr..
Goodrich In his famous Zulu rig; sec
ond prize for gentlemen, c. Rogers,
the farmer The judges We're Mrs. M:
S. Thurston, Miss Bessie Seeley ana
S. C. Bolinger.
Poinsettia is a very live order and
will put on many members in the flu
ture as it has been doing steadily in
the past
A surprise was sprung on the as
semblage when Mrs. Tape and Mrs.
Cliett. two very highly accomplished
young women, well known in local
vaudeville circles, appeared and gave
one of their speciality song and dance
acts. Mrs. Cliett was dressed as
Young swain, while Mrs. Tape was
dressed as a modern ballet girl. They
brought down the house" with their
performance. This duo of entertainers
are to be seen frequently in fraternal
theatricals and always receive the ap-
plause that their performance merits.
Next Thursday evening, Thanksgiv-
ing, the members OF Po1nset1a VIII
hold a short business session, after
which they will have a Thanksgiving
ball.
Los Angeles homestead is going
ahead rapidly and will do everything
possible to maintain it's place as the
banner homestead in Los Angeles. IL
is putting on new members each week
and in the future will redouble It's eff
forts. The members are striving to
earn tickets to the coming banquet,
which will take place about the last of
December. Any member bringing in a
new member will receive ticket to
the big feed. A ticket cannot be Sc
cured in any other manner, as money
does not look good to the banquet pro-
motors.
