cent Illness made the members all the
more pleased to welcome him. Mrs.

mantle.
A feature of the evening came in the
presentation to Mrs. Rose Riley, vice
warden of the lodge, Of a handsome
signet ring as parting mark Of ap-
probation asf she is leaving to reside
in Terra Haute, Indiana. The presen-
tation was made in his own inimitable
style by Treasurer NJ. J. Curran, COM

such an admirable way that his hear
ers were one moment on the verge Of
tears and the next Of laughter. Mrs.
Riley was deeply touched by the gift
and responded fittingly. She has been
one of the most efficient workers in
the lodge and her place will be a hard
one to fill. Nomination and election
to fill the vacancy will come up at the
next meeting.
