order-william F. Hunt. No. 6-was visit
ed by the grand matron and grand pat
ron and other officers of the Grand

New Masonic Temple was gorgeously
decorated with fall and dollhouse plants
and flowers. and together with the love-
Nf he hy Ia
present. lent to the occasion and air Of
splendor and refinement.

penditures $s7s.66. and the balance In the

ment In particular which received much
favorable comment from the grand ON

attentively listened to.
Judge Edward p. Seeds. on behalf Of
the chapter. presented to the worthy

clothe and become a full-fedged young
one.

ed by Mrs. Katie Rose in a very capable
manner. In her remarks Mrs. Rose
spoke feelingly Of the love and esteem
the officers and members Of the chapter
held for its worthy matron. and particu-
larly emphasized what she had done for
the uplift Of the organization in general
IN this community. Mrs. Barnard was
SO overwhelmed with gratitude and ap-
probation that she could hardly respond,
but in her ever-generous manner attrib-
uted whatever success the chapter may
have had to the cooperation Of all its
officers and members alike
