of the year, when a recep-

dered to the new members
who had joined the society during Oc-
tober November and December; also
to the members who were instrumental
in securing these additions.
FThe reception was held in the offices
occupied by the several supreme Of
ficers, which were beautifully decor
ated for the occasion, each officer fol-
lowing out his own idea both as to
scheme and color The holiday color
and flower, red poinsettias, from which
electric lights shone, made brilliant the
reception hall, where every lodge in
Los Angeles had representatives ex-
tending the hand of welcome and cor
dial greeting The different halls were
much frequented where those in quest
of entertainment found the various
forms which certainly catered to all
whose tastes led them to seek their
own kind of amusement. Terpsichore
held sway in Alhambra and Oak halls
until the clock told the midnight hour,
when a campaign similar to the Sc
attic campaign of last year was
launched, having a trip to Yosemite
the reward for member getting. The
enthusiasm with which the plan was
greeted offers the hope that this cam
paign will prove even greater winner
than did the one of last year. and that
is saying a good deal. With the CON

over every head, the sight was one
that was truly inspiring.

and plenty of appropriate stage set
