The joint rally, successful in every
| respect, has become a past event. and
now the time intervening will be devoted
to making the rally OF the six Rebekah
Lodges. which will take place December
u, in Odd Fellows Hall, an equally sue
cesSful event. The members OF the Re
bekah Lodges are all up and doing. and
the preliminary arrangements have all
been perfected. and the several lodges
are receiving applications that tend to
show a large class will receive the de-
gree on that occasion. No member of
the Rebekah branch Of the order should

More than 200 couples were present
last Wednesday evening at the second
assembly dance OF the season, which
is given under the auspices OF Canton
Washington. No. !, I. o. o. F. 1t was
by far the most successful affair that
the Canton has ever given. For many
weeks the Chevaliers have been work
ing hard to place the hall in hrst-class
condition for this seasons dances. Capt.
William J. Rogers and his hustling COM
mittee deserve great credit for the many
evenings of hard work they have de-
voted to the cause. The large auditor
ium of Odd Fellows Temple never pre-
scented a more artistic appearance The
decorations were in the colors of the
Canton, and in addition palms and
American nags were lavishly used in
identifying the hall. The Odd Fellow
Orchestra. under the direction of Prof.
r. c. Beaton. furnished an excellent
programme of music.
The dances this season begin prompt
ly at S o'clock. Many beautifully gown
ed ladies' added to the attraction as well
as the gold and glitter OF the uniforms.
The floor committee did excellent work
under the leadership of Ensign F. A.
Royse and are to be congratulated for
the manner in which they handled the !
large crowd during the course of the
entire evening. The refreshment COM
mittee, under the direction Of Lieut. |
William Humphrey, served refreshments !
during the intermission, which proves
to be a very successful feature of the |
dances The next assembly dance will !
be given December I. when many add |
ed attractions will be presented.
