"a "STAR" EVENING. One of the pleas
ATTEST events of the season in lodge circles
occurred last Friday night, when Primrose
Chapter No. 152, Order of the Eastern Star,
had their annual inspection night, preceded by
harvest supper. When supper was an
nounced, line was formed in the lodge room,
and to music by the organist the company
marched up to the banquet room, which pre-
sented most attractive appearance On each
table as a centerpiece was fruit bowl made
of a pumpkin, decorated with red berries, and
filled with a variety of handsome fruit Bril-
liant autumn leaves scattered over the table
cloths added another touch of color and the
o'lanterns. The most unique features of the
decorations, however, were the pigs, porcu-
pines and "goops," cleverly fashioned from
lemons, ripe cucumbers, apples and potatoes
The platters of meat. salads, etc, were all
handsomely garnished with red berries and
green leaves, and added not a little to the at
tractiveness of the daintily spread tables

cheese, and pumpkin pie were other items on
the menu, which was served by the efficient
committee, headed by Mrs. Belle Trussell.
After supper, some little time was spent
socially before the chapter was called to order
and the beautiful floor work was carried out
most effectively and with much credit to the
officers. Candidates were initiated into the
chapter, and four were received by demts
from other chapters. Several applications
for membership were received and acteC
