c. Hemingway to look AFTER the de-
tails of the affair, have arranged an
attractive program, including vocal
and instrumental numbers, monologues
and other features to occupy a short
period in the first part of the evening.
About 10 o'clock the canvas-covered
tennis courts of the club will be pre-
pared for dancers, and card tables will
be set in various convenient hooks,
while light refreshments will serve to
heighten the feeling of sociability that
will pervade the assemblage on this
occasion. 1t will be an invitation af-
fair, and is intended for the purpose
of raising funds for the furnishing of
the renovated Arizona avenue home
corral of the Elks. About 500 cards
have been sent to Elks and their
friends in Santa Monica, Ocean Park
and Venice and royal good time is
being looked forward to with real
pleasure.
Among those who have volunteered
their services for the occasion are Miss
Phyllis Lindsey, Miss Beth Myers,
Miss Alice Ryan, Miss Marie Melt,
Mrs. Tom Hanna, Ray M. Comfy and
Brother Leo Carrillo, all of whom are
exceptionally gifted entertainers. An
excellent orchestra of five pieces will
be present to furnish dance music,
while six soft-Yoiced Hawaiian singers
will be on hand to supply incidental
diversion.
A reception committee composed of
the following well known brothers of
the lodge will take part in welcoming
the guests: ]. c. Hemingway, T. H.
Dudley, Judge g. H. Hutton, A. r.
Fraser, Ben s. Hunter, w: H. Ander-
son, ]. B. Proctor, A. F. Webster, K.

Those in charge of the floor arrange
ments will be Brothers w. H. L.
Symington, Hershel Cole, Ralph Bane,
C. H. Richie, Arthur Jackson and C.
e. Groesbeck. Brother GARLIC will
serve as stage manager.
"Baby Elks" who Joined the Santa
Monica herd at their usual fortnightly
initiation ceremonies Thursday are
Brothers o. A. Burchard and H. r.
Morton of Ocean Park. Brother Ken
ton A. Miller presided in the chair of
the exalted ruler in the absence of
the usual occupant, and his cousin,
Past Exalted Ruler w. G. Miller,
filled the vacant lecturing knights
chair on this occasion. The work Incl
dent to the leading of the newer breth-
rem along the winding trail was done
in a pleasing manner and a goodly
gathering of Elks from all parts of
the beach was on hand to lend dignity
to the occasion.
Among the visiting Elks at Santa
Monica lodge sessions this week were
Brother Jacob Heine of 80 and Brother
w. w. Phelps of Pasadena.
Brother J. b. Proctor has been con-
fined to his Santa Monica home with
a severe attack caused by coming in
contact with poisoned oak growing in
one of the nearby canyons. Brother
Ralph Bane mingled his customary
lingual contributions with the duties
of official scribe at the last gathering
of the members.
Brother C. c. Patton, who recently
emerged from q Los Angeles hospital,
has so far recovered from the effects
of q smashup on the railroad in which
he unwittingly played a prominent
part that he was able to attend the
lodge meeting in Santa Monica Thurs
day night. "Pat" explained to the
boys the pleasures of hospital exist
ence and told them of the kindly
thoughtfulness on the part of brothers
which had served to tighten his four
months existence in the institution. At
the conclusion of his talk the secre-
tary was requested to forward the APP
preciative and fraternal thanks of
Santa Monica lodge to the members Of
SO in Los Angeles.
Brothers e. L. Brown and R. W.
Armstrong are somewhat at variance
in the stories they are telling sepa-
rately concerning the "whyness" of a
missing deer which was to have been
converted into a venison barbecue
short time ago. Seemingly the brethl.
rem look through peep sights at oppo-
site ends of a. gun when referring to
the hunt for game. At all events, the
discussion has fattened the charity"
box in a highly satisfactory manner
and the brother at the muzzle end may
fire away at the brother at the butt
end of the Imaginary weapon to good
advantage at the present cost OF short
talks.
Brothers charley Powell Grant and
Forrest Gilman, Steve Jackson and
Jack Harter will leave tomorrow with
a party OF friends for the Malibu
country, where the former has located
a homestead In the Santa Monica
mountains. They will assist Brother
Powell in erecting his claim cabin,
after which they will indulge in
hunting trip in search of the elusive
deer.
