The January Reunion in Full
Blast With Big Glass.

| It's a. great thing to see the 400
! Masons having their annual four-day
midwinter reunion in Topeka, eating
: lunch in their immense banquet1ng
hall. Nowhere can one find a more
! pervasive atmosphere of hllar1ty and
good cheer. Everybody's there-from
| the governor of Kansas and the secre-
! tary of state to prominent Judge
who strolls into the dining hall arm
| in-arrn with a book agent. Occasion
ally somebody makes a speech or in
| formal announcement, but everyone
is having much too good a time to
pay the slightest attention. The city
clerk hustIes about with a plate of
sandwiches a couple of commission
ers pass inexhaustible supplies of cof-
fee and one of the richest merchants
in town balances bowls of soup as IL
F., born and bred to the life of a waiter.
There are quantities upon quantities

portant of all, the famous Masonic

small affair The fact that $500 was
appropriated Tuesday night at a meet

make the show an unqualified success,
said w. H lines, the secretary of the
organization today. 1t is generally
understood that the show is not a
money-making affair. However. of

vided for the men, and a rest and
dressing room for the ladies.
The Guild of Grace cathedral will
have charge of refreshment booths,
and check stand for the convenience
of those who attend the first show of
the kind ever held in Topeka.
The engagement has decided to open
the doors of the Auditorium each day
of the show at 1:30 o'clock. The clos
ing hour will be 1890 o'clock at night.

spicuous and attractive posters that
