Everything is in readiness for the ball.
Not sir knight in the jurisdiction, able
TO do it, but has had out his uniform for
pressing and Furnishing up, that he may
look his best at the brilliant indoor in
spection and review in the auditorium of
Masonic Temple tomorrow evening pre-
ceding the ball. From indications, it IS
said, Grand Commander Henry X. SlInl,-
son might have spared himself the trou-
BILE of informing the sir knights that their
attendance at the inspection did not
carry with it an obligation to attend the
ball. They are all going, even the staid
and stately elders whose days of terpsi-
chorean delight have long since passed,
for it is born even in Knights Tempiar
TO want to see a host of brilliantly
dressed women enjoy themselves at a
grand ball. Such functions have been
called grand time out of mind for that
Very reason.
The disposition of the cards of admis-
sion has been committed to the conf
manderies that their members and their
friends might not be overlooked in a sin
gle instance. Committees have BOXED
after every detail of preparation. and
there has been joint effort to make the
function the most brilliant of its kind
ever given under the auspices of the
Knights Te;nplar of Washington. Grand
Commander Henry X. Simpson, the Com
manders' Association and the five local
conmander.es are all concerned in the
result. which is TO benefit the Masonic
and Eastern Star Home. an object which
said to be dear TO the Masonic heart
IN general ana to the Order of the East
~rn star in particular.
The captains general of the local com
1Iandc:fes have issued the Temp ar COM
ulaud to report at I.3o @ clock tomorrow
evening in fun Templar uniform Tor the
big annual inspection and review. which
also W!u take place in the auditorium of
