From San Dieuo

San Diego, Cal, Aug. 20. 1914
Just a few words to the r. n. A. to |
give you an idea what the r. n. A. |
are doing in San Diego. August It'll |
we visited the r. N. A. camp and en-
jOyed the meeting very much. They |
put on the incoming march beau
tiful in fact never open lodge with
out the march, which is proper. |
There We're three visitors besides
ourselves and during recess they
flocked around US and made US feel
perfectly at home. August 18th we
attended a picnic given by the Royal
Neighbors at Mission Cliff Park, one
of the prettiest places in San Diego
and on Aug. 18th we attended an
open meeting given by the NJ. w. A.
and listened to a fine program and
enjoyed a fine lunch afterwards.
There was about three hundred pres
ent. The NJ. w. A. team drill would
be hard to beat and the boys show
| ed up splendid in their tan uniforms
and it certainly must have helped
them to put on their drill to per
lection, next came a drill by the r.
n. AS all dressed in white. and say
girls, if you can ever do nalf as
well the NJ. w. AS will certainly
be proud of you. The Royal Neigh
bors are zoe strong here and are a
jolly lively bunch. Friday evening.
August 18th they will put on the in
itiatory work, celebrate the 18th an
niversary of their camp and have in
vited the members of La Mesa and
| EScondido Over so we are counting
the minutes between now and tomor-
row evening. And now word to the
| Pythian Sisters, as Sister Ellis was
here first she had the good fortune
to be present at their installation
which was well attended and they
rut on the work beautifully only they
used the old form of installation in
stead Of the new so we are ahead
OF them in that respect and even
! though they number 232 we have
by far the best turn out and really
show more spirit and life in our
work, and Phoenix Lodge No. . has
cause to be proud of Purity Temple
No. and our Knights really show
us more favors for WOodbine Tenn
pie have to pay 1916 per month rent
but l guess they aim to keep even
with the Knights for they charge
the m$3.00 per year dues.
August 14th Iona Lodge K of P
of National City invited the Pythian
Sisters to a social for the purpose
of securing enough names to insti-
tUte a Temple there in the near flu
ture. The social was well attended
ana the Knights were well pleased
with the big turn out which the P.
S. can and do do.
August 18th Woodbine Temple
gave the K. of r. and S of the K
4 lodge a post card shower as it
was his birthday and we had the
pleasure of meeting the brother but
failed to learn his age The X. P.'s
are 1850 members SO Phoenix, get
move on and see if you can num-
Der half that anyway by the first of
the wear.
August 80 is Pythian day at Ocean
Beach so we are looking forward to
the date. but if they don't turn out
that day any better than they did fo'
the Pythian Sister Picnic at Coron
auo beach we may be disappointed
as there We're only four of their
own members present. We hope the
members of Pioneer Camp won't for
get their regular meeting August
10Th and it is time the Pythian Sis
tiers We're getting on Their thinking
caps for YOU know the first Tues
day in September is our regular
meeting night and l hope all who
can possibly do SO will attend even
II can't, but I will be with you in
thoughts any way which will be a
great consolation.
: With best wishes to all
A COUPLE OF VISITING MEM
BEERS.
