IN ENCHANTED REALM
OF YELLED PROPHETS
KaIIipoIis Grotto Unfolds Mys-
teries to Band of Trem-
bling Initiates.

| Eight hundred members of Kallipolis |
| Gfotto, No. 10, Of the Mystic Order of
Yelled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm, |
with more than two score doughty seers |
| from SAINTS Grotto, No. SO, of Richmond |
| Va, traversed a mystic stretch of land
and water out into the "empyrean blue"
at Odd Fellows Hall last evening, with |
a galaxy of more than a half hundred
| trembling master Masons, who had pre-
viOusly expressed the desire to enter the |
realms they had never before explored |
It was "the first mystic fight of the unin-
itated to the land of shades" under the
new regime of Monarch Jesse F. Grant |
| the first grand ceremonial session of Kali |
| lipolis Grotto in the new year, and when |
the final benediction of "fire and food
was pronounced upon the wilted neo-
phytes there was joy in the hearts of the
| faithful and knowing twinkle in the
| eyes Of those who didn't dare to tell.
Event Planned for Weeks.
For weeks preparations went on in the
playground of the blue lodge Mason to
make the event memorable one. UP
from Richmond came a gallant band
from Samis Grotto, the baby offspring
of Kallipolis Grotto. and when the little
band of fifty-odd, wearing its new dig
nifty as yelled prophets, emerged from
1.-The .auldron Of mighty satan in the +
arms of Chaos" the yelled ones looked to
be thoroughly satisfied.
Following the ritualistic ordeal the en-
tire party marched to the New Willard,
where. in the big banquet hall on the top
floor. were spread refreshments suited
to all tastes. l.
Monarch Grant interpolated a few ideas
Of his own into the entertainment that
helped to swell the merriinent. Songs
and stories. jokes and jibes at the re-
cent converts to the cause made the
rafters ring with music and laughter
until late hour, when the strains of
Aud Lang Syne,'' sung with impressive
feeling, closed the festivities.
Rare Gavel Presented.
During the evening one of the pleasing
incidents was the presentation by the
visiting Yelled Prophets of rare gavel
to Kallipolis Grotto. 1t is made of the
wood from the oldest Masonic building in
America, mounted in sterling silver and
bears the inscription:
